Chicago Bears (4-0) @ Las Vegas Raiders (3-1) - Bears (-2.5)
Stephen A. Smith (1-2)
THE PICK - Raiders
STEPHEN'S TAKE - These Bears shouldn't even be favored. They have gotten away with riding a powerful defensive unit and making a lot of mistakes, but they have to come back down to earth eventually and I think the Raiders do just that. Im not buying Bears stock. Raiders 34-14.
Field Yates (2-1)
THE PICK - Raiders
YATES' TAKE - The Raiders have sneaky good weapons on offense and a coach very familiar with his guys. I am still on the fence with Fields at QB whether hes going to go out and complete 75% of his passes or end up throwing 10 passes and 3 are intercepted. When you are sneaking out wins over the 0-4 Lions, that's not very reassuring.
Tony Gonzalez (1-1)
THE PICK - Bears
TONY'S TAKE - N/A
Rich Eisen (3-0)
THE PICK - Bears
RICH'S TAKE - Give me Daaaa Bears & lay the 2.5. You know what travels in football? Defense & a running game. The Bears have both! Now factor in these two coaches are fresh off a cycle in the same division I have to take the Bears. Fields just has to turn it over less then Carr & they will win. Chicago 24 - Vegas 20
Donovan McNabb (2-1)
THE PICK - Raiders
DONOVAN'S TAKE - Championship pedigree gets the nod every time, unless it's Brandon Beech.
Shannon Sharpe (3-0)
THE PICK - Bears
SHANNON'S TAKE - The Bears have been on a roll so far this season, and I don't see that stopping here. Chicago has the #4 scoring offense in the league (36 ppg), while the Raiders have been giving up 24 a game. And while the Raiders are top 10 in passing yards, da Bears have an equally impressive passing defense. I give the edge to Chicago for 5 wins straight.
Nick Wright (2-1)
THE PICK - Raiders
NICK'S TAKE - The Bears are total frauds. Who even believes these guys will continue to win? Not I captain. They’re more unstable than Nick’s group chat facilitation of his escorts.
Will Cain (1-2)
THE PICK - Bears
WILL'S TAKE - I’m a believer in the Bears! This game will be close, but Fields has been spectacular. Give me the Bears defense to give the edge!
John Clayton (1-1)
THE PICK - N/A
JOHN'S TAKE - N/A
Jeff Darlington (0-1)
THE PICK - Bears
JEFF'S TAKE - I’m picking the Bears. This defense is amazing and the Raiders offensive line will not be able to protect Carr.
Deion Sanders (0-0)
THE PICK - Bears
JEFF'S TAKE - This is gonna be a Real Spectacle, man. The Return of the Mack, baby! Adrenaline is gonna be HIGH in Vegas Locker Room. But at the end of the day this Bears defense is just too damn good, man. Bears win this off of Raider turnovers.
