Bears pull off another one.

9. The thing is, they've been beating inferior teams in really close games.

Minnesota is certainly not a legitimate Super Bowl contender, but they're far from inferior. Pittsburgh and Green Bay both have strong defensive lines, and good defensive schemes. The Bears have to play better. They're 6-3 but that is a function of their schedule. They can hang their hat on the fact that they are winning games they've found a way to lose in the past, but they need to start playing well for 60 minute games in order to stand with better teams like the ones they'll face. In the seven games remaining, they are likely to be favored in only one: Cleveland.
