Week 4 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Broncos

The Chicago Bears will face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, where the Bears will look to break an 13-game losing streak.

Chicago is coming off an embarrassing 41-10 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, which brings their losing streak to nearly a full calendar year. The Bears’ offense has been ineffective, the defense can’t stop anybody and the coaches don’t have control.

Bill Bender – Broncos 28, Bears 24

It’s a battle between two winless teams that were outscored 111-30 last week in college-style blowouts. That makes this one a true toss-up, and it will revert to quarterback play. Russell Wilson does not turn the ball over as much as Justin Fields in this game, and that’s the difference. That over (46.5) seems hard until you realize how bad the defenses have been.
