Denver Broncos at Chicago Bears: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 4 game

Show Caption

Could this be the anti-Super Bowl?

There's not much optimism for the Denver Broncos (0-3) or the Chicago Bears (0-3), but the two sides will face off in Week 4 in a battle to get a positive outcome on the season.

There wasn't much to be happy about after the Broncos took a walloping 50-point loss to the Miami Dolphins Sunday, as the team has clearly yet to turn the corner with new head coach Sean Payton while entering desperation mode just three weeks into the season.

Once Taylor Swift was seen in Kansas City, you knew it was over for the reeling Chicago Bears, who were blown out in a 41-10 loss. It capped off what was a tumultuous week in Chicago after the comments made by Justin Fields and the resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams. Now, each team will get a chance to have a good week for the first time.

NFL Week 4 odds, predictions and picks

Lorenzo Reyes: Broncos 26, Bears 14

Denver just got incinerated, the offensive line was in shambles and the franchise has some soul searching to do. I have a hard time seeing a Sean Payton coached team, however, following that game up with a loss against a Bears team that, in my view, is in even more disarray than Denver.

Tyler Dragon: Broncos 20, Bears 17

A battle between two 0-3 teams. Somebody has to win this game, right? Maybe? This game might be fun to watch for comedic purposes. Having just given up 70 points, the Broncos have the NFL’s worst-ranked defense entering Week 3. Chicago has the NFL’s second-worst passing offense and its defense allows the second most points per game. The Broncos were humiliated last week, so maybe they’ll be inspired to bounce back.

Victoria Hernandez: Broncos 17, Bears 12

Sean Payton had few words for how humiliating the Broncos' 70-20 loss was last week. Lucky for him, the Chicago Bears are coming off their own blowout loss and are struggling to get Justin Fields going. If even one of Frank Clark and Justin Simmons are back in Denver’s defensive lineup, they shouldn’t have a problem containing the former first-round draft pick.

Jordan Mendoza: Broncos 20, Bears 16

It's really hard to make a case for either team to win a game, but the Broncos somewhat had a better semblance of an offense in the loss to Miami. Chicago's problems seem like a harder fix at this point, so giving Denver the slight edge in a game people may not want to watch.
