Tough opponent on the road. Last game of the regular season. Whatcha predict for this one?
LINK Being smart for the Bears means Matt Nagy balancing staying healthy with eliminating the Vikings — no simple task The reasonable expectation of the Rams romping puts the Bears in contingency planning mode for their regular-season finale against the Vikings. Coach Matt Nagy acknowledged Monday at Halas Hall that what happens at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will affect how he coaches at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Does the visiting owners suite at “The Bank” get the NFL RedZone channel?
“We’ll have a plan in terms of being smart,’’ Nagy said.
Translation: If the Rams open up a sizable lead at halftime, expect Nagy to rest key Bears starters in the second half. That’s a no-brainer. But defining the “terms of being smart” becomes more complicated if the Bears find themselves beating the Vikings in a close game while the Rams are leading the 49ers by single digits. Then what? Keep pushing? Or start pulling starters?
I just have a gut feeling that the Bears will play their key starters and go after the win. I think this will be another hard fought (ugly at times) win.
Vikings will win this game. If Rams are also winning, Nagy will sit the starters at some point in the second half. I just hope we don't have any major injuries. We are going to play them three times.

I hope Nagy tries to win the game. I do not think there is a way to lose a game and it has an impact on the team anything other than in a negative way.
IMO this is part of the "culture change" that we need to see for the Bears long term. That we are always doing our dead best to win each and every game.

Erin Andrews, okay, but Buck and Aikman are big time? yeeesh.
If you read the conversation that goes along with that tweet, all the Bear fans are saying they will be listening to Joniak and the radio broadcast crew.
For those outside of the Chicago radio broadcast area:
