Well, what do you guys think? Interesting start, for sure, with a Sunday Night and Monday Night game back-to-back. And opening at the Packers. Kind of a tough start for a team that has gone through a lot of change during the offseason. Not a fan of the early bye either.

As always, the Bears and Green Bay Packers will square off twice this season. The two teams will initially square off in Week 1 at Lambeau Field and again in Week 15 at Soldier Field. The Week 1 opener will be in primetime on Sunday Night Football. These meetings will mark the 197th and 198th all-time meetings between the two teams. The two teams entered last season tied in the all-time series, but a pair of Packers victories led to Green Bay taking control of the series with 96 wins, 94 losses and six total ties. Which once won eight straight games against the team between 1985 and 1988, while the Packers once won 10 straight between 1994 and 1998. The Packers have won four in a row against the Bears and 14 of the last 17 meetings between the two clubs.
The Bears will then host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football. The two teams have met a total of 17 times with their first meeting taking place back in 1976. Seattle leads the all-time series 11-6 but the Bears have two playoff victories over the team. Chicago and Seattle last played in 2015 with the Seahawks blanking the Bears by a score of 26-0.
In Week 3 Chicago will travel to Arizona to take on the Arizona Cardinals. Chicago and Arizona remain two of the oldest teams in the NFL and will square off for the 91st time this season. The Bears hold a lead in the all-time series with a 56-28-6 record. The two clubs last squared off in 2015 at Soldier Field with the Cardinals walking away with a 48-23 victory. Chicago last traveled to Arizona during the 2012 season.
The Bears will then host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. Chicago and Tampa used to play regularly as part of the Central Division in the NFC before realignment after the 2001 season. Chicago holds a 38-20 lead in the all-time series. This season will mark the fourth straight year the two teams have played each other. Tampa Bay has won the last two games with the Bears previous victory coming in 2015 by a score of 26-21 at Raymond James Stadium. The two teams last played in Soldier Field in 2014.
Chicago will then get an early break with their bye coming in Week 5.
The Bears will then travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 6. The two squads last played in 2014 with the Dolphins coming away with a 27-14 victory in mid-October. Miami leads the all-time series between the two teams with an 8-4 record. The Dolphins most notable beat Chicago 38-24 in 1985, keeping the Bears from going undefeated that season.
Chicago and New England will then square off in Week 7 along the lake at Soldier Field. This will mark the first game between the two teams since New England won 51-23 against the team in 2014. The two clubs have met a total of 13 times with Chicago's most infamous win coming in Super Bowl XX where it defeated New England by a score of 46-10. This game could mark the final time Bears fans get a chance to see Tom Brady play in Chicago.
The New York Jets will then come to town in Week 8. The game will mark the 12th game between the two teams. Chicago holds a lead in the all-time series with a 8-3 record. The two clubs last played each other on Monday Night Football in 2014 at MetLife Stadium Chicago won the game 27-19.
Chicago and the Buffalo Bills will square off for the first time since 2014 in Week 9 in Buffalo. The two teams have played each other just 12 times since 1970. In their last meeting, the Bears fell to the Bills by a score of 23-20 in overtime. This game will give the Bears their first look at quarterback AJ McCarron, unless the team drafts a quarterback early in 2018.
Chicago and the Detroit Lions will square off once in Week 10 and less than two weeks later in Week 12 on Thanksgiving. The two games will be the 177th and 178th all-time meetings between the two clubs. Chicago leads the all-time series with a 97-74-5 record. Detroit has won three in a row against the Bears and 10 of the last 16 contests between the two clubs. Chicago last beat Detroit in 2016 with a 17-14 victory at home.
The Bears and the Minnesota Vikings will also face each other twice this season. Chicago will host the Vikings in Week 11 before capping off the season once again against Minnesota on the road. The first meeting between the two clubs took place in 1961 and the Vikings lead the all-time series with a 60-52-2 record. The two games this year will mark the 114th and 115th meetings between the two teams. The start of this decade saw the Bears win five games in a row, but the team has gone just 3-8 since then. Minnesota is entering the 2018 season as the reigning NFC North champions and have a brand new quarterback in Kirk Cousins.
Chicago will head to the east coast in Week 13 to take on the New York Giants following a bit of a break following their Thanksgiving matchup in Week 12. This game will mark the 59th meeting between the two teams, including eight postseason games. Chicago leads the all-time series with a record of 33-23-2. The Bears and the Giants last met in 2016 at MetLife Stadium with New York walking away with a 22-16 win in what was Jay Cutler's final start with the organization.
In Week 14 the Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams. Under the tutelage of head coach Sean McVay and second-year quarterback Jared Goff, the Rams went 10-6 in 2017. This year's contest will mark the 93rd time the two teams have squared off. Chicago holds the all-time lead with a 53-36-3 record. The two teams last played in 2015 with the Bears walking away with a 37-13 victory when the team was still in St. Louis.
2018 will be the fifth year in a row the Bears will play the San Francisco 49ers. In Week 16 Chicago will travel to West Coast to take on the 49ers. The last three contests were held at Soldier Field, meaning this will be the first time the two teams have squared off in San Francisco since 2014. Chicago lost to the 49ers last season in a game in which all of San Francisco's points came off five Robbie Gould field goals.
