The Chicago Bears are not going to be one of the better NFL teams in 2022; at least, that is not the expectation.
Chicago is going through a bit of a rebuilding process, but there is enough talent on the roster to end up being a pleasant surprise.
There are some great Chicago Bears season futures that you can look to wager on, and you don’t have to bet on them to make a ton of noise. This article will explore some of those betting options, and the latest odds that are available.
Chicago Bears Week 1 Matchup Preview
The Chicago Bears begin the 2022 season by hosting the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field. San Francisco has opened up as a 4.5-point betting favorite, and the location of this game has impacted the odds.
San Francisco was a playoff team a season ago, and made it all the way to the NFC Championship. The 49ers are making a change at quarterback, and that could be a story to watch in Week 1.
Bears’ 2021 Rough Season
Chicago had a rough 2021 season, and it ended with the firing of head coach Matt Nagy. The Bears are set at quarterback with Justin Fields, but he isn’t going to have a ton of weapons to throw the ball to.
NFL injuries during the preseason can always have an impact on Week 1 results, but it’s hard to see the Bears being good enough to get past the San Francisco 49ers or even cover the spread.

Chicago Bears Season Props
There are a number of different ways to bet on Chicago Bears season futures that don’t involve betting on them to win the division or the Super Bowl.
There will be some player prop betting options that emerge at some point, but you can bet on regular season win totals from very early on.
NFL Betting Picks
The odds make it pretty clear that they aren’t going to be featured in many NFL betting picks throughout the year. The over/under for regular season wins is set at over/under 6.5.
You can bet on the Bears to win over 6.5 games at +120, and taking them to finish at six wins or less has odds set at -140.
Chicago Bears 2022 Season Odds
Bears 2022 Super Bowl Odds
The NFL betting trends don’t point to the Chicago Bears being even a remote threat to win the Super Bowl in 2022. Chicago has odds set at +10000 to win the Super Bowl this season, and there are only a few teams with worse odds than that.
The hated Green Bay Packers are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season at +1200. It is the Buffalo Bills that are the top favorites to win the Super Bowl entering 2022 at +650.
Chicago Bears Playoff Odds
Breaking the playoff drought is a big goal for the Chicago Bears this season, and it would be a pretty big accomplishment if it were to happen.
The odds don’t give Chicago much of a shot to sneak into the playoff field, and they would have to exceed expectations by quite a bit.
The NFL odds for the Chicago Bears to make the playoffs are set at +410 and the odds for them to miss out on the postseason are set at -600.
Chicago Bears NFC North Odds
The Green Bay Packers have been the clear leaders of the NFC North Division over the last few years, and that is reflected in the future odds. Green Bay does have some question marks entering the season, but they also have Aaron Rodgers.
Here are the complete betting odds to win the NFC North Division:
- Green Bay Packers -170
- Minnesota Vikings +300
- Detroit Lions +850
- Chicago Bears +950
Chicago Bears NFC Championship Odds
Not only are the Bears a long shot to win the Super Bowl in 2022, but the odds are similar for winning the NFC Championship.
The Bears have odds set at +5500 to win the NFC Championship this season, and only the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons have worse odds.
