It’s been a weird offseason for Bears perceptions. Some people are SUPER in on them. Other people just want to watch the world burn. With a little over a week before the season officially starts, the people at BetOnline did us all a favor and released – quite literally – hundreds of Super Bowl matchup odds. The Bears are featured prominently enough for this to officially be Online Content, so let’s take a look. First, all the odds from best to worst:
Patriots vs Bears 33/1
Chiefs vs Bears 40/1
Browns vs Bears 66/1
Chargers vs Bears 66/1
Texans vs Bears 80/1

- People really love the Browns. That will surely end exactly how they want it to, as it always does in Cleveland.
- There are six matchups that are considered more likely than a Bears Super Bowl appearance. They’re all various combinations of the Patriots/Chiefs/Rams/Saints/Eagles.
- Poor Colts.
- There are plenty of 1000/1 Super Bowl odds, none of which belong to the Bears. Take that Andy Benoit!!!
- Hard to decide whether Raiders (200/1) or Broncos (250/1) is the juiciest unlikely Super Bowl. Khalil Mack vs. Gruden! The Students (starting defense) vs. The Teacher (Vic Fangio)!
- Good news, Bears fans: You *probably* don’t have to worry about the Bears’ Super Bowl, in Miami, being a true road game.
