The Chicago Bears are one of the most-hyped teams heading into the 2019 season. The team is is coming off a season in which it experienced great success in coach Matt Nagy's first year. The Bears went 12-4 under their new coach after winning just 14 games between 2015 and 2017.

A lot of people expect that to continue this season.

NFL Network's Adam Rank recently predicted the win-loss record for every team in the NFL and sees good things in store for the Bears this upcoming year (of note, Rank is very publicly an unabashed Bears fan).

Here's how he sees Chicago's season unfolding:

  • Week 1 vs. Green Bay Packers – Win
  • Week 2 at Denver Broncos – Win
  • Week 3 at Washington Redskins – Win
  • Week 4 vs. Minnesota Vikings – Win
  • Week 5 vs. Oakland Raiders (in London) – Lose
  • Week 6 Bye
  • Week 7 vs. New Orleans Saints – Win
  • Week 8 vs. Los Angeles Chargers – Lose
  • Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles – Win
  • Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions – Win
  • Week 11 at Los Angeles Rams – Win
  • Week 12 vs. New York Giants – Win
  • Week 13 at Detroit Lions (Thanksgiving Day) – Win
  • Week 14 vs. Dallas Cowboys – Win
  • Week 15 at Green Bay Packers – Lose
  • Week 16 vs. Kansas City Chiefs – Win
  • Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings – Win

That's a feat considering the Bears' schedule is not an easy one this year. Chicago played through a last-place schedule last season. It'll be up to Nagy and his team to prove they can repeat their successes with a target on their backs.

With in division, Rank sees the Lions finishing 4-12. He likes the Packers at 12-4, but sees some regression in Minnesota, with the Vikings stumbling to a 5-11 record.
