In 2025, the Panthers finished with an 8-9 record and still won the NFC South title; many downplayed that success, citing the low level of the rest of the division. Carolina in 2026 has come to prove that wasn't a fluke; they've strengthened their defense and are looking to start the new season with a win against the Bears, even though Chicago is the -165 favorite to win.
The Panthers' offense has retained its key pieces, Chuba Hubbard at running back and McMillan at wide receiver; therefore, the biggest investment came on defense with the acquisition of Lloyd and Phillips. Their preseason has been positive with wins against Jacksonville, Arizona, and Houston, but a loss to Buffalo.
The Bears are aiming for another season in which they hope to rely on Williams; the quarterback was a major reason why the Bears won their division, throwing 27 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions.
