Bears vs Jets expert picks
Adam Kaufman: Bears 23, Jets 20
Former Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn know each other well. After three seasons of matching wits in Detroit practices, they'll do it for real as head coaches. The Bears just shocked the Eagles behind Case Keenum, though it remains unclear whether Johnson will stick with the veteran or turn to Tyson Bagent while Caleb Williams recovers. Glenn's Jets may be without Breece Hall, but Geno Smith threw for 321 yards against the Lions, so they're hardly helpless. Call this a vibes pick if you want. I trust Johnson to have Chicago ready at home, regardless of who starts at quarterback.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz: Bears 27, Jets 21
Geno Smith has taken command of Gang Green's offense with heady play, posting just one turnover
while exhibiting impressive precision. If New York can avoid the negative plays that have sustained Chicago's defense, an upset is hardly out of the realm of possibility. But Ben Johnson's ingenuity should keep the Bears rolling for at least another week.
Nicholas Brinkerhoff: Jets 24, Bears 23
We've seen this movie before. Backup quarterback shocks the world and turns into a pumpkin the following week. The Case Keenum story is great, but will it last? The Jets have been a frisky team in 2026, playing a physical style with a 'no-quit” attitude for Aaron Glenn. That's the last thing the Bears will want to deal with on a short week. More importantly, Glenn coached alongside Ben Johnson in Detroit for years. If anyone can slow down Chicago's offense, it's him. The Jets win a close one.
