The Bears enter the primetime matchup as slight favorites over the lowly Panthers.
Chicago Bears
The Bears are coming off a frustrating 24-17 loss against the New Orleans Saints in which they turned the ball over five times. Hosting the Panthers, they look to get their third win of the season against a much weaker opponent. Although it’s looking like draft season has already started in Chicago, a win wouldn’t hurt. Ironically, defeating the Panthers would improve their Bears’ draft positioning as they hold Carolina’s 2024 first-round pick.
Record vs. Carolina: 7-3-0
Most Recent Victory vs. Carolina: 10/18/2020, won 23-16

What an odd press conference by Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus on if Justin Fields is doubtful or out for tomorrow night’s game.

Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers’ 2023 season has been a complete and utter disaster. At 1-7, the team looks to survive and prepare for the future. However, tanking is out of the equation with no first-round pick in 2024. Carolina hopes the season ends sooner rather than later to build a competent roster around 2023 No. 1 pick Bryce Young.
Record vs. Chicago: 3-7-0
Most Recent Victory vs. Chicago: 10/05/2014, won 31-24
Record in 2023: 1-7

X-Factors: QB Bryce Young, RB Chuba Hubbard, WR Adam Thielen, Pass Rush, Offensive Line
Frank Reich on Bryce Young’s two pick 6s in a 14-point loss – “It’s not all just the pick 6’s I know it seems that way but we put him in a hard position a couple of times.” pic.twitter.com/n9MoztZgTr
