We’re at the midway point of the 2026 season, and the Mothership is trying something new with the season-long confidence results from our Reacts polls. They took results dating back to the preseason and, using ChatGPT, made a graphic for each team that shows the data and adds contextual moments along the way that likely contributed to the fluctuation in our confidence.
This graphic was created using AI.
As expected, our low point was the loss to the Green Bay Packers, which was the third consecutive
game that Caleb Williams missed.
Following the Bears’ third straight prime time win, our confidence remains high.
And why wouldn’t it?
The Bears are sitting at 7-2, in first place in the NFC North, with the second seed in the NFC, and they get their bye to rest up and regroup for the second half of the season.
Our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook currently have the Bears with the fourth-best odds to win the Super Bowl (+850).
The three teams ahead of them are the Buffalo Bills (+550), the San Francisco 49ers (+550), and the Jacksonville Jaguars (+800).
A refresher on those numbers, in case you need it: +850 for the Bears to win the Super Bowl means a $100 bet would return $850.
The Bears are -820 to make the NFC playoffs, which is only behind the 49ers (-4,500).
Our other Reacts question this week was how many more games you think the Bears can win, and most of us have them at 12 or more. If you are confident in that, you can get the over on the win total from FanDuel at 11.5 at -165, the over on 12.5 at +160, or the over on 13.5 wins at +480.
