Bears vs 49ers Predictions

System Play Sunday: Backing the Bears

This Sunday, we’re rolling with a tried-and-true system play: backing a team fresh off firing their head coach. It worked when the Saints moved on from Dennis Allen, and now it’s the Bears’ turn. Chicago made franchise history by firing Matt Eberflus midseason, the first such move in their 104-year history.

After a tough Thanksgiving loss to the Lions, the Bears are heading to San Francisco to take on a struggling 49ers team riding a three-game losing streak. Those losses came against Seattle, Green Bay, and Buffalo, with the latest setback on Sunday Night Football.

While the Bears haven’t won since Week 6 against Jacksonville, they’ve been competitive. Despite going 0-3 straight up, they’re 2-0-1 against the spread in that span, all against divisional opponents (Packers, Vikings, Lions). With one of the team’s biggest issues now out of the building, morale should be at an all-time high.

Expect this refreshed and motivated Bears squad to come out swinging, feeling loose and ready to keep things close against the 49ers. This is the perfect spot for a system play.
