Betting Experts Tracking the Bears Super Bowl Odds: May 2023

The Bears Super Bowl odds are +5000, according to BetMGM Illinois and DraftKings Illinois. That ranks them No. 18 in the NFL per BetMGM and No. 19 per DraftKings. FanDuel Illinois and BetRivers Illinois have the Bears Super Bowl odds at the slightly longer +6000. They rank No. 24 in FanDuel's odds and No. 20 in BetRivers'. Below is a look at Chicago’s odds to make noise throughout the playoffs this season, all according to DraftKings:

Despite its rich history, the Bears have only hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy just once. According to Illinois sportsbooks, it doesn't look like 2023 will be the season to add another. At +3000, the Bears have the 10th-best odds to win the NFC conference, according to DraftKings Illinois. BetMGM's odds of +2200 rank them No. 8 to win the NFC. FanDuel and BetRivers both have the Bears' odds to win the NFC at +2500, which ranks them both 10th.

The NFC North is not particularly competitive this season. With the Vikings potentially entering a rebuild and QB Aaron Rodgers out of Green Bay, the Lions look to be the frontrunners in a division that had just one team reach the postseason last year. The Bears currently have the third-best odds behind Detroit and Minnesota, according to DraftKings. FanDuel and BetRivers both have the Bears at +350 odds to win the NFC North, which has them in third place. BetMGM's +325 odds are good enough for second place in the division.

After a 3-14 season, it was important for the Chicago Bears to upgrade their roster, which they did at several key positions. Here is a look at the notable moves made thus far this offseason. 

• 🗓️ April 29: The Bears' Day 3 draft picks include Texas RB Roschon Johnson, Cincinnati WR Tyler Scott, Oregon LB Noah Sewell, Minnesota CB Terell Smith, Kennesaw St. DT Travis Bell and Stanford safety Kendall Williamson
• 🗓️ April 28: Florida DL Gervon Dexter, Miami CB Tyrique Stevenson and South Carolina DT Zacch Pickens are selected on Day 2 of the draft.

• 🗓️ March 16: The Bears sign former Panthers RB D’Onta Foreman, who led the team with 914 yards rushing and five touchdowns last season, and former Packers TE Robert Tonyan.
• 🗓️ March 15: The Bears acquire multiple draft picks and WR DJ Moore from the Panthers in exchange for the No. 1 overall pick. Moore has three seasons with 1,100-plus yards receiving in five years.
• 🗓️ March 15: The Bears sign two-time Pro Bowl LB Tremaine Edmunds, former Titans DL DeMarcus Walker and former Eagles LB T.J. Edwards.
