The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Sunday against the Saints (noon, Fox 32):
Patrick Finley
Bears, 24-21 (OT): The Bears haven’t beaten the Saints since 2008, when Robbie Gould hit a 28-yard field goal at the gun to force overtime and then a 35-yarder to win. Since then, the Saints have won seven in a row against the Bears, with six coming by more than a field goal. This year: 3-2
Jason Lieser
Bears, 30-20: A victory over the Saints would give the Bears their first four-game winning streak since closing the 2018 season on one. The Saints are at the onset of what looks like a prolonged rebuild, so this shouldn’t be a problem for Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. This year: 2-3
Mark Potash
Bears, 20-13: The still-formative Bears are susceptible to a letdown after a thrilling road victory on “Monday Night Football” — plus the possibility of inclement weather leveling the playing field. But even their “B” game should be good enough here. This year: 4-1
Scoop Jackson
Bears, 38-22: The trend begins. The reverse of fortunes. Yes, they’ve have won three games in a row, but this is Game 1 of a four-game stretch that will change the direction of all things Bears… for now. This year: 2-3
Steve Greenberg
Bears, 27-16: Well, folks, we’ve entered some unfamiliar territory here — sizing up a terrible Bears opponent and assuming our local hotshots, winners of three in a row, can’t lose. Seriously, what could go wrong? (Cue the season-wrecking upset!) This year: 4-1
