Chicago Bears Odds

The Chicago Bears have a long and arduous century-long history, as they are one of the two original NFL charter franchises alongside the Arizona Cardinals. Their one and only Super Bowl title came in 1986, when they were able to beat the Patriots to take home the silverware.

“The Monsters of the Midway” have been more of a cutesy opponent than their moniker may suggest in recent years, with four straight losing seasons in a row. They may have a saving grace in number one pick Caleb Williams, who may be able to pull the franchise out of the mud and give residents of the Windy City something to cheer about again.

Team Odds and Betting Markets

Wanting to place a bet on the Chicago Bears this season? Here are the most common markets you’ll see at sportsbooks and a short explanation so that you can get the most out of your wagers.

Team Point Spread

In the likely situation where there is an evident favorite to win a game, team point spread betting counteracts this by making the game in question more even. The sportsbooks create the initial spread and the aim is to make betting as competitive a market as possible. Favorites have to win by more than the spread for you to win any money on your bet, and the underdog has to lose by fewer than the spread, but they can of course also win the game outright too.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of a spread using a $10 wager and with -200 odds:

• Spread: Packers -5 vs. Bears +5

• Bears win: $5 made

• Bears lose by less than 5 points: $5 made

• Bears lose by exactly 5: Bet becomes push and refunded

• Bears lose by more than 5: Bet is a loss

Team Over/Under

Determining the correct score in an NFL game is pretty tricky and that’s where over/under betting steps in to assist. The sportsbook will provide you with a combined score of the two teams playing, which is called “the line”, and you have to guess whether the two teams will score over or under that amount. 

Let’s look at an over/under bet with the Bears and the Lions with a line of 50 points:

$10 bet on Over 50 point line with –110 odds:

If the final whistle blows and both teams have scored a combined score greater than 50 points, you would profit $9.09.

$10 bet on Under 50 point line with +120 odds:

If you guessed this correctly you would see a greater profit, with $12 being made.

In the event that the teams scored exactly 50 points, your wager would become a push and your stake would get refunded to your account.

Team Moneyline

All you have to do when making a wager on a team moneyline is predict which team is going to win the game outright. Typically, you will find that games have favorites and underdogs rather than more even markets, meaning there’s more opportunity to make money if you fancy an upset. 

Here is what a moneyline bet might look like using the Bears and the Commanders:

• Bears: -180 (favorite)

• Commanders: +160 (underdog)

After the game has finished and I put a $10 wager on the Bears to walk away victorious, I would be $5.56 richer should they be successful. In contrast, if the Commanders managed to get one over their opponents and I backed them instead, I’d win $16 in profit.

Team Props

Prop betting is where you predict the amount of a specific stat that is recorded after a game has finished, such as yards, touchdowns, or tackles. These bets are more specific than other markets, so the odds will vary.

Let’s take a look at how a $10 bet might work on the number of tackles made in a game. If I were to bet $10 on the Bears to make over 6.5 tackles with +120 odds, I would walk away with $12 made in profit should they achieve that, whereas I’d lose my money if the Bears didn’t meet the tackle quota.

In a similar vein, if I bet $10 with -140 odds that the Bears would record fewer than 6.5 tackles and it came true, I would profit $7.15.

A push here is impossible to the half-point line, so there’s no chance of your bet getting refunded.

Team Futures

Futures betting is an excellent market for those wanting to dust off the crystal ball they found when clearing out their grandma’s attic. With futures bets, you generally take a longer term view about what might happen. This can include things like betting on the season MVP, the coach of the year, or whether a team will reach the playoffs.

Diehard fans love to put a bet on their team winning the Super Bowl, even if they’ve suffered a miserable prior season! If a Bears fan put a $10 bet on them to win the grandest prize of them all this season with +5000 odds, they would walk away $500 in profit. Hey, sometimes it pays to be loyal!

Chicago Bears Team History

The Chicago Bears were founded in 1920 and are now one of only two original NFL teams still playing, the other being the Arizona Cardinals. The Bears were actually started in Decatur, Illinois but moved to Chicago in 1921.

Since then the Bears have become one of the most iconic and successful teams in the NFL. The Bears hold the record for most Hall of Fame players and the most retired jersey numbers.

The franchise has won one Super Bowl which they earned by defeating the New England Patriots in 1985 and they’ve also won four conference championships, 21 division titles, and made 26 total playoff appearances.

The 1985 season was the best in franchise history, as the team boasted arguably the greatest defense in NFL history and won their only Super Bowl title after steamrolling the New England Patriots 46-10. In 2020, the Bears will be celebrating their 101st season.

The franchise’s most recognizable players include Walter Payton, William Perry, Brian Urlacher, and Jim McMahon.
