Panthers at Bears
Florio’s take: I’ve picked the Bears to win each week this year. I felt smart after they beat the Falcons. I felt like I took a justified risk after they lost to the Saints. I felt stupid after they lost to the Packers. I’ve got a feeling I’ll soon feel like an idiot after they lose to the Panthers. If the Bears don’t win this one, they could be 2-5 at the bye. That should be reason enough to find a way to outscore a team that remains, for now, inferior to the Bears.
Florio’s pick: Bears 24, Panthers 13.
Rosenthal’s take: I want to take the Panthers. I’ve spent a while trying to think of a logical reason why they’ll win, and there isn’t one. Carolina’s defense is a mess. Cam Newton hasn’t faced a defense quite like the Bears. It just feels like bad times are brewing in Chicago and a home loss like this to a feisty young Panthers team is the logical next step.
Rosenthal’s pick: Panthers 23, Bears 20.
