Popular Season-Long Bears Bets in Illinois

There's no shortage of Bears markets available at these sportsbooks. But if you're looking for futures, two bets tend to stand out amongst fans.

Betting on Chicago's Super Bowl Odds

If you want to go big, you'll want to at least consider betting the Bears Super Bowl odds. Right now Chicago is in the middle of the pack, thanks in part to playing in the always-difficult NFC North. But after the massive influx of talent on offense this season, Chicago does look like a very intruiging long shot. 

Betting on Chicago's Playoff Chances

If you think Chicago breaks through this year, you'll want to bet on the Bears playoff chances. Right now, the Bears are favored to be on the outside looking in come playoff time. But with big-name additions like Ben Johnson, Joe Thuney, and a second-year leap from Caleb Williams, it's very possible Chicago proves the sportsbooks wrong when the season rolls around.
