...to take a bet that the Bears will NOT go 0-2 in their next 2 games against the NFC #1 and #2 seeds, Arizona (at home) and Green Bay (in Lambeau)?
Explain your logic.
What kind of odds would somebody have to offer you...

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

If you think they have a 10% chance in each, that comes to about 5-1

So, if I were setting vegas odds, I'd go somewhere thereabouts.
To actually get me personally to toss money on a longshot like that, you'd have to go at least 20-1, probably more.

50-1
My logic is they won't win any more games this year, most especially the next two.

There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Friends, Fanatics, forum men, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Nagy, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Nagy.

No chance. I'm just hoping they can keep both opponents under 30 and can manage to score at all in either game. This feels like we are going to get Trestman's New England/Green Bay games. Whats more interesting is if Nagy can survive the remainder of the season after these two incoming massacres.

4-1 seems right to me. We might get lucky and catch a few big breaks in one of the two games.

We’re going to smash Green Bay.
I’m not a betting person but I know we’re going to take them. I’m absolutely certain.
Fields will be back and he will be hungry

I can see them going winless the remainder of the year, with possibly only the Giants game a win. The next 2 games against the best teams in the NFC, both fighting for the #1 seed? Forget about it (even 50 to 1 might be low). The Vikes are fighting for a playoff spot, I can see 2 losses to them also.
[Where are my old Chicago Bears and what have you done with them, Ryan Poles?
