Chicago Bears: 3 Bold predictions for Week 2 vs. Seahawks

1. Matt Nagy picks up first win — by two touchdowns or more

On both sides of the ball, I think that the Chicago Bears are the superior team to the Seattle Seahawks. Their defense was a top-10 unit last season and they now have Khalil Mack and a healthy Leonard Floyd to help them rush off the edge. Then, when you factor in the addition of Nagy on the sidelines and the talent that they’ve added to the offense, they at least have more firepower than the Seahawks as well, especially without Doug Baldwin in the lineup for this game on Monday night.

What we saw last week from the Bears was disheartening, without question. Considering all of the optimism surrounding this team coming into the year, it was tough to see them blow such a lead. However, I think Nagy will help turn that overwhelming negative into a positive.

For teams in the NFL in situations akin to the Bears’ right now, they have to take their lumps at times. A cliché in this league is that teams have to learn how to win, and last week for Chicago was the perfect example of that. You have to learn when to let up and when to keep the pedal pressed to the floor. The hope is that the Bears learned this and will now put it into action.

I think that they have and that this team proves something on Monday Night Football. Playing at home, they will take the Seahawks to task and jump out to another big early lead. This time around, however, they won’t blow it and will walk away from this game with a 1-1 record.
