Aware that their beloved Chicago Bears no longer have realistic hope of climbing back into playoff contention, some of the franchise’s savviest fans are taking a pragmatic approach to the rest of the NFL season.
That raises an obvious question heading into Thursday’s unappealing yet deceptively important primetime matchup that pits Chicago vs. Carolina: Who should Bears fans root for? The likelihood of the Bears securing the first pick would sink to 35% if they lose to the Panthers on Thursday night, Riske said. The Bears’ odds of finishing with the league’s worst record would vault to 21% in that scenario, according to Riske’s simulations, but the Panthers’ odds would plummet to 14%.did for Yahoo Sports. The Bears have a 39.3% chance of obtaining the No. 1 pick if they beat Carolina and a 27.4% chance if they lose, according to Eager.
“The Panthers may make marginal decisions sitting a guy or not sitting a guy that will benefit them longterm at the expense of winning games this year,” Eager said. “The Bears have already demonstrated with some of their moves that they’re looking to win now.” Carnegie Mellon professor and sports analytics researcher Ron Yurko agreed that a Bears win “would put them in better position to get the No. 1 overall pick.”
