The NFL has been nonstop, relentless fun lately. Games like the Rams vs. Seahawks and Ravens vs. Packers, projected as defensive slugfests, have delivered back-and-forth excitement. One can only wonder what’s in store for us when we’re given a matchup like we have tonight between two top-10 offenses meeting in San Francisco.
The Bears have officially won the NFC North for the first time since 2018. They still have a lot to play for, though. If they can win both of their remaining games and have Seattle lose just one of their final two, Chicago can enter the playoffs as the NFC’s #1 seed.
The 49ers have a similar path to that top seed. All they have to do is win tonight vs. Chicago, and that sets up their Week 18 matchup against Seattle as a battle for home-field advantage throughout the entire NFC bracket.
Bears vs. 49ers kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET, live on NBC in NFL Week 17. Let's dive into a Bears vs. 49ers over/under prediction for SNF with PrizePicks.
