This former Rutgers star running back could have an immediate impact with the Chicago Bears in his rookie season.

Before the Bears' 2025 schedule is officially released, we're taking one last stab at predicting the entire 17-game slate.

A coaching overhaul, a franchise quarterback, and more offensive weapons should make the Chicago Bears a better team in 2025, but will it be enough to compete in a stacked division?

To do that, we're going to turn to the over/under win totals and try to gauge whether each NFL team is more likely to go over or under. We started on Monday with the AFC East, and we'll continue in the space below with what has recently been one of the NFL's best divisions: the AFC North.

Welcome back to Chicago, Matt Eberflus. The Bears welcome their old head coach back to Soldier Field here, in what might be a low-scoring affair that pits Johnson against fellow first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. This game will be proof if Johnson's offense can find ways to circumvent a defense with plenty of playmakers.

With expectations much higher due to a busy and headline-making offseason, the NFL is giving the Bears the spotlight to prove themselves. Chicago will come into the year with a new look roster, on both offense and defense, and a new leader in Johnson, which has built them into one of the most-talked about teams coming into the 2025 season.
