to 100K I mean we are almost there guys appreciate all the support all right my first Bowl prediction I don't think the Bears just make the playoffs I think they win a playoff game I think saying they make the playoffs isn't bold enough like that that's it would be a good thing like it's certainly a prediction and it's not a guarantee but I think bold you got to go at least a playoff win so I think they win one I I I I I look at Houston last year uh we talked about it in our uh video uh that looked at the last six teams that were plus 60 or better in the preseason like Seattle Russell Wilson's rookie year I see a lot of parallels good young talented quarterback uh with a really good defense like I see that here and it's just time the Bears have not won a playoff game since January of 2011 which is just absolutely ridiculous um you know obviously they should have won one wi 2018 we we know what happened there but I think the Bears have the ingredients their quarterback is really talented the skill weapons on offense are very good and proven for the most part the defense is pretty proven and ascending um I think there's enough here to be a playoff team and if you get in the playoffs just got to get the right matchup to have a chance to win a game or two like let's say the Dallas Cowboys win the NFC East as and they're the three or four seed and the Bears or the five or six seed and and they go to Dallas you're telling me that's impossible go win that game you're telling me they can't beat the NFC South champ or maybe the Bears win the division and uh host a playoff game I'm not going to have my official NFC North predictions until closer to game day in week one but uh I have them winning a playoff game so there's a little sneak peek for that all right number two Austin Booker has 8 plus sa again we're going pretty bold here for the most part that would be that would be really really impressive you're talking about okay he's probably your other starting defensive end moving forward Beyond this year he had two and a half sacks in the preseason they brought in Daryl Taylor so that could cost him a few snaps again that's why we're going bold here but I saw enough not just from like a motor standpoint which is fantastic but he showed different moves he played with power had a spin move showed a fake kind of outer move and then spun back in and hit the quarterback in one of the games like you saw some different moves that he was able to put on tape and you're like okay like he's not going to like dominate or anything and obviously he's going to go up against starting tackles now but I think he's going to get good situational opportunities like third down pin your ears back take advantage of those snaps um I think eight sacks is possible that's less than half a sack or game so it's bold but it's not outrageous um so yeah I I'm going eight plus sacks for Booker and I think that's going to be second best on the team all right number three the Bears lead the NFL and takeways now it's bold because even if you did it the year before to do it again it's one and 32 chance right like it's pretty bold I I am acknowledging though that last year they were tied for fourth like they went on a flurry of takeaways the second half of the year once they got montz sweat they had 28 I think the most was 32 so uh you know let's say it's around that 30 number you you got to get almost two per game I think that's more than possible I I know it's preseason but they were getting two three a game pretty easily in these games and we saw it last year if they get some consistent pressure If flu Styles the right blitzes they've got ball Hawks everywhere Tyreek Stevenson four picks a year ago Kyler Gordon has picks on his resume Jaylen Johnson had four picks uh last season so uh the hits principal it's working they're getting the football they're taking it away and if they can do that this year the offense just has to be solid at that point take advantage of those opportunities you're going to win a lot of football games what is your top Bears bold prediction it can be about a player it can be about win total playoff success it could really be anything bears related you got one bold prediction what is it I want to hear it from you let's get to Caleb Williams now Caleb Williams does it he throws for 4,000 yards and I'm just going to lean into this I don't want to shy away from how good this guy can be I'm not going to sit here and say he's going to be a top three quarterback right away but Caleb Williams is more than capable with the arsenal of weapons and with Shane Waldren to hit 4,000 passing yards I don't want to talk about after this year how the Bears are the only team in the NFL without a 4,000 yard passer they're also the only one without a 30 touchdown passer I'm not predicting that I don't think he'll hit 30 touchdown passes that's that's pretty tough to do not many quarterbacks do that each and every year Bears Le only one who haven't done on it but it's not like 20 of the 30 teams do it every year but 4,000 yards you see like half the league do that now it's 235.000 yards per game it shouldn't be bold but it's crazy bold for this team because they've never done it so I think it gets done I think Caleb Williams does it he hits the 4,000 yard passing number uh I'm just going to lean into it he hits 4K assuming he stays healthy of course and uh we can put that kind of just annual Note to rest a bears can't find a 4,000 yard passer well 2024 kale Williams did it that that's what we're going to be saying get yourself a kale Williams jersey chat sports.com calb navies whites oranges couple alternates are available now check them out chatsports.com calb link is in the comments and description if you want to represent qb1 today get yourself a Caleb Williams jersey chatsports.com Caleb and then again shouldn't be bold you play them twice every year you should beat them every once in a while the Bears don't but they are this year they will at least split with the Packers yes this is bold when you've lost 10 straight when you've lost 15 of 16 when you've lost 24 of 29 or whatever it is yeah yeah beating him once out of two it's pretty bold it hasn't happened since 2018 um it's been dominance it it's been absolutely dominant 15 of 16 it's disgusting how one-sided this rivalry has been this this type of stuff is unheard of in the NFL like it it really is divisional opponent should not be this one-sided especially among two historic franchises it's not like we're talking about Packers and the lions or even the Bears and the Lions about Packers and the Bears like obviously the Packers have been the better franchise for two or three decades but this is just absurd it ends this year I don't care what anybody says the Bears will beat the Packers at least one time if they bookmark this do whatever you want if I'm wrong at me at hram NFL the Bears will beat the Packers this year it is going to happen you can take it to the bank you guys know the motto fgb forever and always that is what we do here hopefully it actually uh happens on the field and beat the Packers for once uh it's time it's happening Caleb Williams will beat Jordan love at least one time this season there you have it my five bold predictions again I want to hear your boldest prediction for the Bears down in the comment section below my name is Harrison Graham we will continue to pump out content here on Chicago Bears now [Music]
