The Chicago Bears look for their third straight win on Sunday when they head to the west coast to play the San Francisco 49ers.

San Francisco won its second straight to move to 4-10 on the season with a 26-23 overtime win over Seattle. The 49ers’ Robbie Gould booted a 36-yard field goal with just 3:06 remaining in the extra period to give the 49ers the win and snap a 10-game losing streak to Seattle. Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has thrown for 2,814 yards, 23 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Justin Howard leads the Bears in rushing with 773 yards and six touchdowns. The leading receiver for Chicago is Tarik Cohen with 710 yards and five touchdowns. On defense, the leading tackler for the Bears is Roquan Smith with 107 while Khalil Mack is the sacks leader with 12.5.

San Francisco quarterback Nick Mullens has 1,754 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. The leading rusher for the 49ers is Matt Breida with 794 yards and three touchdowns. George Kittle leads the 49ers in receiving with 1,154 yards and four touchdowns. Fred Warner leads the defense in tackles with 105 and Deforest Buckner is the sacks leader with 11.0.

Chicago has a legitimate contender in the NFC as evidenced by stopping the Rams last week and shutting down the Green Bay offense this past week. The Bears defense with Khalil Mack is complemented by a steady low-risk productive offense under quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. The Bears are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 on grass and have covered 6 of the last 7 versus NFC opponents. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Bears win and cover ATS 27-14.
