Week Nine – Monday November 9th (7:30 pm)

  • Chicago Bears @ San Diego Chargers

NOTE ON THE SECOND QUARTER

I will price out hotels for that weekend in San Diego about two thousand times between today and the start of the regular season. It’s nowhere near as late as I’d hoped but it’s still tickling the inner palm of the cold air.

Week Ten – Sunday November 15th (noon)

  • Chicago Bears @ St. Louis Rams

Week Eleven – Sunday November 22nd (noon)

  • Chicago Bears vs. Denver Broncos

Week Twelve – THANKSGIVING NIGHT November 26th (7:30 pm)

  • Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers

Week Thirteen – Sunday December 6th (noon)

  • Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers

NOTE ON THE THIRD QUARTER

Scheduling the Bears at Lambeau on Thanksgiving makes zero sense. First, there is no reason to believe the Bears will be any good this year and this time slot should be reserved for two elite teams. Second, if the league really wanted the Bears/Packers rivalry in this slot, why not have the game in Chicago? Isn’t there a far greater chance of a competitive game being played at Soldier Field?

Side note: This game will also be the night the Packers retire Brett Favre’s jersey. So, you know, double ugh.

Week Fourteen – Sunday December 13th (noon)

  • Chicago Bears vs. Washington Redskins

Week Fifteen – Sunday December 20th (noon)

  • Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings

Week Sixteen – Sunday December 27th (noon)

  • Chicago Bears @ Tampa Bay Bucs

Week Seventeen – Sunday January 3rd (noon)

  • Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions

NOTE ON THE FOURTH QUARTER

On paper the easiest portion of the Bears schedule. If the team gets through the first 12 games at .500 you’d have to like their chances to go 3-1 down the stretch and boast a winning campaign.
