Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears Preview and Predictions

NFL week five is here and we have the Panthers-Bears preview as these two face off in Chicago. Take a look below as we go through the Panthers-Bears prediction and come up with a best bet and more. These two teams have shown some signs through four games, but who will come out on top and cover the spread?

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears Preview and Predictions

Through two weeks of Andy Dalton, the Panthers have actually looked like a competent football team. Clearly, they got the win as underdogs in Vegas but were not able to repeat that fate as dogs at home against the Bengals. By no means are the Panthers “good,” but I expect them to look a lot more like an NFL team with Andy Dalton throwing passes.

Chicago is 2-2 and they have a really nice chance to crack the .500 barrier. Their schedule gets a lot easier going forward, and that starts in this week five matchup at home. The Bears are three or more point favorites for the second time in as many weeks,, and truthfully put, I do not think that is enough. The defense is looking strong every single week and Caleb Williams will only get more comfortable.

Bears -4

This is a very similar number we saw last week as the Bears covered against the Rams. I am aware that the Rams were a very injured bunch but they are still better than Carolina. This week, the Panthers will be without there best linebacker as Shaq Thompson will miss the remainder of the season. That will hurt an already less than stellar defense and Caleb Williams very well may be in line for his best game yet.

Roschon Johnson Anytime Touchdown

Johnson got into the endzone in last weeks game and I would expect that to happen again. The Bears showed that they want to run the ball when they are inside the five. For better or for worse, Roschon will be the man getting the touches. Look for Chicago to pound the ball offensively and take advantage of this banged up Panthers linebacker corps.
