Betting Experts Tracking the Bears Super Bowl Odds: September 2023

Bears Super Bowl LVIII Odds: September 20, 2023

The Bears Super Bowl odds are +15000, according to DraftKings Illinois. That ranks them near the bottom of the league per DraftKings, with only three teams having worse odds. Below is a look at Chicago’s odds to make noise throughout the playoffs this season, all according to DraftKings:

Despite their rich history, the Bears have only hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy once. According to Illinois sportsbooks, it doesn't look like that will change in 2023. At +7500, the Bears have the 3rd-worst odds to win the NFC conference, according to DraftKings Illinois, ahead of only the Carolina Panthers (+10000) and Arizona Cardinals (+20000). It is worth noting that Chicago has lost by more points than both Carolina and Arizona through the first two weeks, falling by double digits each time.

The worst part for the Bears is that they blew a chance to improve their odds to win the Super Bowl against a seemingly beatable foe in the Packers, who did just that and now stand at +5000 to take the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The path does not get any easier for Chicago either, with visits to two of the past three Super Bowl champions the next couple weeks.

Bears Super Bowl Odds vs. NFC North

Chicago's odds to win the Super Bowl are dwindling due in part to the continued struggles of third-year QB Justin Fields – and the team's porous defense. Fields has not yet shown he can be a proficient NFL passer even though he remains a dangerous runner whenever he decides to tuck the ball and go. And despite adding some key players on the defensive side of the ball in the offseason such as linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards along with defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, the Bears are giving up 32.5 points per game -- the second-highest number in the NFL -- and 383 yards per game (ranked 29th out of 32 teams). One of the biggest hurdles for Fields moving forward will be staying on the field, as his style of play is conducive to injuries. Not only does Fields need to start showing progress quickly before the season gets away from Chicago, but he also must avoid missing time in 2023.

The only positive thing for the Bears that happened in Week 2 does not even involve them but rather the other three teams in the division who all joined them in the losing column. The Detroit Lions (+2000 to win the Super Bowl) suffered a setback in losing at home to the Seattle Seahawks 37-31 in overtime after upsetting the Chiefs on the road in the season opener. The reigning NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings (+7000) fell to the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles 34-28 in the Thursday Night Football matchup and the Green Bay Packers (+5000) lost 25-24 to the Atlanta Falcons.

Bears Week-by-Week Super Bowl Odds

Heading into Week 1 of the 2023 regular season, Chicago was in the middle of the pack at +5000 to win the Super Bowl. However, those odds doubled to +10000 following the team's poor performance versus Green Bay in Week 1. The odds tumbled again after another loss in Week 3, dropping to +15000, and they may not fall much more with the team's record losing streak expected to hit 13 at Kansas City.

Week 1: +5000
Week 2: +10000
Week 3: +15000

Chicago's odds to win the Super Bowl plummeted as expected following a 27-17 road loss to Tampa Bay in Week 2. The Bears opened at +5000, fell to +10000 after Week 1 and currently sit at +15000. Only the Carolina Panthers (+20000), Houston Texans (+40000) and Arizona Cardinals (+40000) have worse odds, and none of those teams will likely pick up their first victory before Chicago.

Chicago's odds to win the Super Bowl figure to plummet even further with another loss in Week 2 while the team's odds would likely only slightly improve with a victory. As it stands now, only the Indianapolis Colts (+15000), Houston Texans (+30000) and Arizona Cardinals (+40000) have worse odds. Could the Bears' odds double yet again with another setback?

Key Contributors Toward Bears Super Bowl Odds

The biggest key on the field for the Bears is obviously Justin Fields, who entered Week 1 as a dark horse candidate to win NFL MVP with the ninth-best odds on the betting board at DraftKings at +2000. Fields went to +5000 after Week 1 and those odds doubled to +10000 with the team's 0-2 start.

On the sideline, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is no longer in the running for Coach of the Year honors either and is now clearly at the opposite end of the spectrum at +10000. Eberflus was surprisingly +1400 a week ago after one loss, but he and Brian Daboll of the New York Giants are bringing up the rear in terms of the worst odds on the betting board through two weeks. Daboll won Coach of the Year last season and has a lot of work to do with the 1-1 Giants this year as well.

Bears Super Bowl LVIII Outlook and Predictions

The Super Bowl outlook for the Chicago Bears is very bleak at this point. Before the season kicked off, the Bears were favored to beat both the Green Bay Packers AND Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Chicago won neither of those games and next faces an opponent that is expected to win and win BIG. With tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones back in the lineup, the Kansas City Chiefs are the most formidable foe on the rest of the schedule for the Bears, so covering the spread would be considered a moral victory. That said, their Super Bowl odds are not expected to dip much more with an 0-3 start.

Looking ahead though, Chicago should get some relief. Two of the team's next three opponents are also winless at 0-2 and may be 0-3 after this week's action. The Bears defeating the Chiefs would be a major upset, and their odds would definitely improve in that case. Regardless, the best they can hope for is to play a competitive game at Kansas City, with Fields taking steps in the right direction and the defense playing better. They desperately need something positive to build upon going into Week 4.

Bears Super Bowl History

Despite their long history in the NFL as one of the founding franchises, the Chicago Bears have made the Super Bowl just twice. Chicago is 1-1 in those contests. The Bears blew out the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX by a score of 46-10. In Super Bowl XLI, Chicago lost to the Indianapolis Colts 29-17.

Have the Bears Ever Won the Super Bowl?

Yes, the Bears have won one Super Bowl. The 1985 Chicago Bears featured one of the most tenacious defenses in NFL history. Under head coach Mike Ditka and defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, the Bears went a league-best 15-1 during the regular season. After shutting out the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs, Chicago rolled past New England in one of the most lopsided Super Bowls ever, with defensive end Richard Dent taking home the game’s MVP trophy.

How Many Super Bowls Have the Chicago Bears Won?

As noted earlier, the Bears have won just one Super Bowl, despite winning eight NFL championships before the AFL-NFL merger. A 46-10 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XX served as the largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history at the time. The Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts in their only return trip, 29-17. Chicago ranks second all-time with nine total titles, including the Super Bowl win.

Which Years Did the Bears Go to the Super Bowl?

• 1985-86: Bears won Super Bowl XX vs. the New England Patriots 46-10
• 2006-07: Bears lost Super Bowl XLI to the Indianapolis Colts 29-17

How Many Times Have the Bears Been to the NFC Championship Game?

The Chicago Bears have been to the NFC Championship Game five times during their storied history, which is a far cry away from how they performed in the postseason prior to the AFL-NFL merger en route to winning eight NFL championships. The Bears are 2-3 in those five NFC title game appearances, with two of the three losses coming to the San Francisco 49ers on their way to winning two of their five Super Bowls.

The last NFC Championship Game for Chicago came following the 2010 regular season when the team won the NFC North over Green Bay but lost to its bitter rival for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The Packers went on to win the Super Bowl that year, so all three NFC title game losses came vs. the eventual champs.

Bears Preseason Super Bowl Odds Every Year Since 2000

The Chicago Bears are hardly among the top contenders to win the Super Bowl this season, according to Illinois sportsbooks. Here’s a look back at the preseason odds for Chicago in the past:

At +5000, the Bears actually held their best preseason odds since 2020. For those Windy City optimists, the Bears did make the playoffs that season. The last time that Chicago held better odds was in 2019 when it began the year with +1200 odds. That season, however, the Bears finished just 8-8.
