With Justin Fields now to set be be their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, things could start to turnaround for the Chicago Bears as they begin their quest to overtake the Green Bay Packers for the top spot in the NFC North.
Hoping to come up with another win and stay on the right track, the Bears will be going up against a Raiders team that's seeking redemption after enduring a tough loss on Monday night. Now that they've got a tough task at hand, let's take a look at four bold predictions for the Bears during their Week 5 match-up against the Raiders.
Chicago Bears Week 5 Predictions
*Watch & DVR Football Live | fuboTV*
4. David Montgomery will have another big game for the Bears
After rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns last weekend against the Lions, David Montgomery will look to post even bigger numbers against the Raiders defense. He came through for his team when they needed it most in Week 4 and he'll aim to continue playing at a high level in order to keep the Bears competitive and provide a much-needed boost to their backfield.
So come next week's match-up against the Raiders, it can definitely be expected that Montgomery will have another big game for the Bears and help them to keep the chains moving. Although the Raiders will come ready, they may not fully be prepared for what Montgomery's got in store for them.
3. Alec Ogletree and Roquan Smith will set the tone for them on defense
Combining for 18 tackles and a sack last week against the Lions, Alec Ogletree and Roquan Smith will be locked in and ready to set the tone for the Bears defense once again in Week 5. From disrupting the Lions rushing game to making things as difficult as possible for Jared Goff, this dynamic duo was all too much for the Lions O-line to handle in Week 4.
So come this Sunday, the Raiders will definitely have their work cut for them with a tenacious Bears defense that's looking to do some serious damage and slow down this high-powered Las Vegas offense. Hoping to repeat on their dominant performance from Week 4, Ogletree and Smith will be ready to bring the heat against Las Vegas.
2. Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson will follow-up another strong performance
With Justin Fields under center for the Bears last weekend, Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson were both major beneficiaries of his stellar playmaking. Between the two of them they had 188 receiving yards on eight receptions while averaging 23 yards per catch. If they are able to continue this level of production in Week 5, then the Raiders will be in big trouble.
Now that they've both developed strong on-field chemistry with Fields, there's no reason that they can't build on this success and have another productive game on Sunday against Las Vegas. Aiming to follow-up with another strong performance against the Raiders, Mooney and Robinson will be ready to elevate the Bears offense on Sunday.
1. Chicago will come away with a big win against Las Vegas
Now that the Bears are moving forward with Fields as their starting quarterback, this will allow him to develop into the Pro Bowl caliber player that he's previously shown to have been capable of becoming. Having Fields tapping into his limitless potential while utilizing their passing game and moving the ball around will only allow the Bears to continually get better each week on offense.
Especially with their receiving corps and backfield stepping up over the past couple of games and taking the Bears offense to the next level. With all this in the fold for Chicago, there's no doubt that they'll be firing on all cylinders in Week 5 and come away victorious against the Raiders.
