Pre-Game:
It’s great to have Thursday Night Football games back, especially for all those die-hard football fans like myself. Although this game doesn’t have division leaders playing against one another, both the Bears and 49ers are looking to reposition themselves to start climbing the latter towards the top, or start their fights for a Wild Card. All the top online betting sites I have seen for this game are predicting the 49ers to win.
Bears:
Chicago has lost 3 in a row including their loss last week against the Cardinals. The Bears lost 41-21 on their home turf in Soldier Field. However, this is the game that’s going to turn them back on the winning train. If Jay Cutler can stay calm and make smarter decisions when throwing the football, the Bears will win hands down. But, he currently has thrown the second most interceptions than any other quarterback in the league with 12. If Cutler can throw 0 interceptions this game, he should lead the Bears to a victory.
49ers:
The 49ers on the other hand have lost 4 straight. However, 3 of the 4 games were decided by a touchdown or less. San Francisco’s best chance at winning this game is their defense. If they can keep pressure on Jay Cutler, he is bound to throw more interceptions. The 49ers offense has been struggling these past 5 weeks. They started the season looking like a solid football team but have definitely side-railed since Week 4. Home field advantage could easily lift the 49ers to win this game.
Bears vs 49ers Prediction:
In my opinion, the main determining factor on who wins this game is Jay Cutler. Cutler will win or lose this game for his team, and the 49ers defense will win or lose this game for their team. If San Francisco cannot stop Cutler and he throws for a few touchdowns with no interceptions, Bears win. If the 49ers keep pressure on him and he throws 1 or 2 interceptions, 49ers win. This game will not be one on the ground, especially for the Bears with the 49ers 5th ranked defense for stopping the run. Jay Cutler is too good of a quarterback to keep playing the way he has and throwing 12 interceptions in 8 games. Look for him to turn his game around this week on Thursday Night Football. Bears win a lower scoring game than predicted.
