Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 11/23/25, 9:42 AM  by Bill Christy | Modified on 1/16/26 at 4:56 AM in NFL Picks

Early Sunday afternoon the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) will head into Solider Field to take on the Chicago Bears (7-3) with a banged-up offense.

Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers and Jaylen Warren re both listed as questionable as both are nursing injuries they suffered last week in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals. That win put them in sole possession of the AFC North. In the win, the Steelers defense looked great as they held Cincinnati under 300 total yards and forced two turnovers, which both were returned for touchdowns. If Rodgers and Warren are limited for this game, the defense will be relied upon once again to pick up the slack.

Chicago has been one of the surprise teams of the season thus far. The 7-3 record is something not many predicted, especially after their 0-2 start. They are riding a 3-game win streak after sneaking out a 19-17 road win over the Minnesota Vikings last weekend. Much like Pittsburgh, it was the defense for Chicago that willed them to victory last week. While they did not score on defense, they did hold Minnesota in check all game and forced 2 turnovers.

This game could simply come down to which team can force the timely turnover or which offense is able to move the ball just a bit better against the other’s stout defense.
