Las Vegas Raiders vs Chicago Bears Prediction & Picks - NFL

It's a battle between two 1-2 franchises in Vegas on Sunday, as the Raider host the Bears in a key game for both sides.

After an 0-2 start to the campaign, the Bears registered their first victory of the season last week, thanks to a surprisingly one-sided victory over the Cowboys. Much-maligned QB Caleb Williams was the star man for the Bears, with four touchdown passes and a QBR of over 140. If Williams can maintain that superb level of performance, the Bears will have every chance of forcing their way into playoff contention. 

The Raiders opened the season with a hard-fought victory in New England, but back-to-back lopsided defeats to the Chargers and Commanders have served as a reality check for Pete Carroll's men. Despite a few solid off-season acquisitions, Vegas still look slightly short on quality, and Carroll has his work cut out if he wants to end the Raiders' 22 year wait for a playoff victory.
