# Adam Chudwin: In his annual game-by-game Bears prediction, Chudwin went through all 17 games and landed on a 12-5 season for Chicago. **Claimed:** Sep 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Adam Chudwin — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/adam-chudwin **Outlet:** The Rich Eisen Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-rich-eisen-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/ESP7304157986.mp3 18 checkable claims — 17 game outcome picks and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 4 of 18 have settled so far, averaging 75 out of 100, against 25 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > You've got them twelve and five. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Chicago Bears to beat Eagles** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears to beat Vikings** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Minnesota Vikings to beat Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears to beat Panthers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks to beat Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Jacksonville Jaguars** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Jets** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Bucs** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to finish with 12 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Saints** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Falcons** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Dolphins** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions to beat Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to beat Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Patriots** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Lions** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to beat Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to beat Packers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/lions - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Minnesota Vikings: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 90.48) - Connor Rogers on Detroit Lions: Rogers picked Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle and the Giants to win their Week 3 games, saying the Chiefs win by two touchdowns and the Giants by a field goal. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/83d1e88b-95a0-45ba-83d3-f86297170c6c (scored 100) - Chris Long on Buffalo Bills: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo.

He also reiterated his Super Bowl pick of Denver over the Rams, called the Dolphins destined for the No. 1 overall pick, and said the Saints are a worst-to-first candidate in the NFC South. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0b810ffd-fd93-4ea2-a208-b1353dea5fb0 (scored 0) - Nate Tice on New England Patriots: Tice picked the Bengals over the Texans in a low-scoring game, the Jaguars at Denver, the Bears over the Vikings, the Patriots over the Steelers and the Rams to edge the Giants, and his Hail Mary was the Cowboys scoring 40 on Washington.
