Bears at Raiders prediction: Odds, expert picks, QB matchup, injury update, betting trends, and stats
Rejuvenated following their first win of the season this past weekend, the Chicago Bears (1-2) travel to Las Vegas for a game Sunday afternoon against the Raiders (1-2).
Bears’ Nation is cautiously optimistic following Caleb Williams’ breakout performance against the Cowboys last weekend. Yes, the Dallas defense is at best, porous. However, Williams took advantage of that unit unlike any previous game during his young career. The obvious hope among Bears’ personnel and fans alike is that the young quarterback will be special again this weekend in Sin City.
After a win in their opener in New England (20-13), the Raiders have been handled with relative ease the last couple of weeks. The Chargers (20-9) and the Commanders (41-24) rolled Geno Smith and the Raiders. There was optimism when Pete Carroll was hired. Three games into the 2025 season, fans and NFL executives are wondering if anything has really changed with this organization.
Each club takes an important step towards determining their fate for the season this Sunday. Lets dive into the matchup and see if we can find an angle or two to play.
