Start spreading the news ... the Bears will win this game ...

I hesitate to suggest the Bears are capable of putting up 28 points, but the Giants defense has struggled all season. The Giants have allowed 27 or more points in nine of 10 games, and their pass defense has been particularly porous. Opponents are averaging 8.24 yards per attempt against the Giants, 31st in the league. Combined with a pass rush stuck in the slow lane, that’s a double whammy. It sure looks like an opportunity for Mitch Trubisky to have a good game, and it’s the worst defense the Bears will face the rest of the season.

This is the easiest game on the Bears’ schedule. The Giants defense is giving up more than 25 points per game and has surrendered an NFL-high 12 passing plays of at least 40 yards. If the woebegone Bears offense can’t have a pleasant threehour escape from reality Sunday, then it’s hopeless. (Of course, you can’t put it past them.) If the Bears can score early for a change and limit Saquon Barkley’s effectiveness, they should win comfortably. Otherwise, they’ll need Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones to help them with his tendency to turn the ball over.

An easy win probably isn’t possible for this Bears team with this offense. But the Giants — on a six-game losing streak with a defense that has held one team to fewer than 27 points this season — are as close as it gets. Jones, with his eight interceptions and 13 fumbles, represents a prime opportunity for a big game for the Bears defense, and the Bears should pull it off no matter if it’s Trubisky or Chase Daniel at quarterback.

This is the easiest game on the schedule. By far. There’s just no way they will sputter against this feeble Giants defense. Right? There’s little chance the Bears can lose at home to a 2-8 team with a turnover-prone rookie quarterback. Right? This is a gimme win. Right?
