Don’t look now, but with the #1 seed in the NFC still up for grabs, the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are two teams out to get the best seeds possible. So, having them take on each other in prime time is as good as it gets, yet we’re still going to make it even better with our best Bears vs. 49ers predictions for Sunday Night Football.

Better yet, to make things even sweeter, we’ve also added to our top Bears vs. 49ers picks for SNF with a brand new and guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

Bears vs. 49ers Predictions for NFL Week 17 Sunday Night Football

The 49ers have proven that they have a Super Bowl pedigree, but now, the question is whether or not the Bears are true contenders. Truthfully, we’ll just have to wait and see, but it’s difficult to deny at this point. An elite offensive line can take you as far as anything, and that is exactly what we have in Chicago.

However, there is still sure to be plenty of Bears vs. 49ers predictions supporting San Francisco, especially with the game out west. In fact, if the 49ers earn the #1 seed in the NFC, the rest of the NFL season runs through Santa Clara - including the Super Bowl itself! Of course, Caleb Williams won’t mind heading out there.

It may be due north of his USC alma mater, but it’s Cali nonetheless. Speaking of the recent #1 overall draft pick, you won’t want to miss our premium NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football. Similarly, make sure that you’re always checking on our NFL expert picks alongside the best bet from our Bears vs. 49ers predictions coming right up!

 

 

 

Bears vs. 49ers Best Bet: Over 50.5 Points (-119 at Novig)

For those who prefer a more basic approach to games rather than the one linked above, we’ve got you covered there as well. That’s because we’re simply expecting a shootout. After what we just saw from San Francisco in prime time on Monday Night Football, it’s difficult not to feel the same with our Bears vs. 49ers predictions for SNF.

They took on Old Man Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts, which was back-and-forth from the jump. Not only did we see 41 points scored in the first half alone, but we also saw the 49ers nearly hit this game total themselves with 48 points. In other words, this San Fran defense is a shell of what we expected without Nick Bosa and Fred Warner.

As for the Chicago side of our Bears vs. 49ers predictions, it’s clearly their weaker unit as well. They have thrived on turnovers, but in terms of actual defensive effectiveness, they can be had both through the air and on the ground - perfect for the dual-threat of Christian McCaffrey. They’re like the classic basketball saying.

Teams can easily “live by three, die by the three.” If Chicago isn’t getting their takeaways, they can give away points in bunches. Admittedly, Brock Purdy can throw his fair share of picks, but we still have over 50.5 points (-119 at Novig) as the best bet from our Bears vs. 49ers predictions.

Fred Warner and Nick Bosa have been out for the season for a while, but another concern is that Rickey Pearsall is back to missing games. Furthermore, George Kittle hurt his ankle in the MNF win.

As for Bears vs. 49ers injury news in Chicago, Rome Odunze has been their biggest concern, but with how close he’s been to returning, this may be the week.
