Bears are 10-21 SU on Road on SNF in franchise history
Bears are 0-8 SU on SNF past 8 games overall
Bears are 0-10 SU on SNF on Road since 2014
This is a strong trend. Question is, will Bears snap out of this losing trend & finally win on SNF with one of their best teams in quite a while. The 49ers will be all out for this game also because they are looking to win the division.
The Chicago Bears are 18-31 all-time for games played on Sunday Night Football. They are 8-10 at home and 10-21 on the road. The Bears are 2-8 in their last 10 games on Sunday Night Football.
Besides when they had an 1-0 record, I think they are 8-7 when they play these games with a winning record.
I understand a trend is a trend for a reason and you cannot totally disregard them.
But is this really a good trend? Any team probably has a losing record when they already have a losing record going into a Sunday night game.
A bad team is just going to lose. The other thing to consider is that they generally try to set up these prime time games when they think both teams will be good or it is a decent rivalry. So, if one team is not a good team when they meet, the other team is more than likely going to win.
The other thing is do these trends matter from more than 2-3 years ago when there were other coaches and players. It is hard to think that one franchise will automatically just be bad on one particular day, no matter the players or coaches over many years.
I am not knocking folks that use these. But it would be interesting what their ATS record is on Sunday nights also when they have a winning record.
Oh I wont be betting against them in this game, I just wanted to see other peoples opinions on this game & put out this trend to see what others were thinking. This game as of now is a no bet for me because I can see both teams needing it badly. Bears are looking to win division & if things align, they can still get the #1 seed.
49ers can win this game & beat Seattle week 18 & then win division & #1 seed. This is one tough game to predict & the NFL loves this matchup.
NBC gets it, should be a hard fought game from both teams just two weeks before entering postseason. Can't wait.
Bears are 0-7-1 ATS past 8 SNF games. As for their ATS record when having a winning record, they are 9-12-1 ATS in franchise history on SNF when entering the game with a winning record. Now I have them with a .500 record entering SNF in 3 games which is in the 9-12-1 ATS record. If you take the .500 record out, they are 9-9-1 ATS when over .500 record going into SNF.
My gut feeling is that the bears will get smoked on SNF, but I’m still gathering info
I have 2 conflicting thoughts right now
1. the bears D doesn’t put enough pressure on opposing QBs, and just a little extra time can turn even a mediocre QB into Tom Brady. Also the 49ers have scored an avg 33 pts in their last 7 games
2. OTOH…..the bears are a very resilient team, risky to wager against. According to ESPN insights
“The Bears have six wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. This is the most such wins in a season since the 1970 merger."
they know how to win close games, but I’m not sure this one will be that close
Bears have been getting by on some good luck, but NFC West has become the premier division this season. Step up in class for the baby Bears. We have to acknowledge now that the 49ers are back after having a down year, and only 2 years removed from their Super Bowl appearance. They can give Rams or Seahawks a run for their money in the playoffs.
It's Niners or no play , aligning with the trend
