Chicago Bears NFC North Odds 2026: Champions Priced Third

Winning the division bought this club third favouritism in it, and Chicago Bears betting odds are where that contradiction shows up.

Chicago went 11-6 last season, won the division for the first time since 2018 and took the conference's second seed.

PowerPlay Sportsbook has them 4.00 to win it again. Detroit, who finished last in the same division, are 2.55. Green Bay are 3.25.

The Bears are 30.00 for Super Bowl LXI and 15.00 in the NFC.

They scored 441 points and conceded 415, and they led the NFL with a plus 22 turnover differential, the first time the club has topped that category since the 1985 season.

The Biggest Playoff Comeback Since 1933

Chicago beat Green Bay 31-27 in the wild card round having trailed by eighteen points.

It's the club's biggest playoff comeback since 1933.

They then lost 20-17 in overtime to the Rams in the divisional round, so the season ended one game further on than any Chicago season since 2010.

The turnover run was not a single afternoon. They forced a turnover in ten consecutive games, their longest sequence since 2008, and won seven games after trailing, the most since 1970.

They also went 5-0 in November, the first time the franchise had won five games in a calendar month since November 1959.

Caleb Williams set the club's single season passing record with 3,942 yards, breaking Erik Kramer's 3,838 from 1995. Chicago remain the only franchise in the NFL never to have had a 4,000-yard passer.

Joe Thuney won the inaugural Protector of the Year award, and Ben Johnson finished runner-up to Mike Vrabel for Coach of the Year.

They Sold Their Best Receiver and Their Best Young Defender

D.J. Moore went to Buffalo in March, Chicago sending him and a fifth round pick for a second.

The deal saved 16.5 million dollars of cap space and left twelve million in dead money.

Moore had a career low 682 yards on fifty catches last season, which is the argument for the trade.

He is also the most productive receiver the club has had in years, which is the argument against it.

On cutdown day they made a second one. The defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr went to Atlanta for the cornerback Clark Phillips III and a 2027 fifth.

Dexter was a 2023 second round pick with at least five sacks and eleven quarterback hits in each of his two seasons as a starter, entering the final year of his rookie deal.

The rookie Colston Loveland led the club in receiving with 713 yards, the first Chicago rookie to do that since 1983.

Kevin Byard III led the NFL with seven interceptions and has since left for New England.

Eleven rookies made the initial 53, four of them undrafted.

Two Canadians on the 53 and One of Them Inherits a Starting Job

Both of Chicago's Canadians came through the cutdown.

Neville Gallimore, a seven year veteran on a two year deal, is in the primary interior rotation and is the likeliest player to inherit the job Gervon Dexter left behind.

Theo Benedet started eight games at left tackle last season and is the swing tackle this year.

That is two Canadians with defined roles on a division winning roster, which is more than most clubs can say.

Off the field the club's board voted on 5 June to advance its stadium project to Hammond, Indiana, with a pledged two billion dollar contribution and a possible 2031 opening.

Arlington Heights, where Chicago own 326 acres bought for 197 million dollars, has not formally been ruled out.

Where Could the Market Be Wrong?

A plus 22 turnover differential is the least repeatable statistic in football and it is the foundation of an 11-6 season.

That is the case for 4.00 in a division the club just won.

Against it, Chicago won seven games after trailing and produced the biggest playoff comeback the franchise has managed in 93 years, which is not the profile of a team that was merely lucky.

They are 1.70 to go under 9.5 regular season wins. Detroit finished last in this division at 9-8 and are 2.55 to win it.

The market has effectively swapped the top and bottom of the NFC North, and only one of those two readings can be right.
