Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Bears | +222 | +6.5 (-120) | 48 over (-120) |
| 49ers | -278 | -6.5 (-120) | 48 under (-120) |
San Francisco enters as clear favorites, boasting a -6.5 spread and a commanding -278 moneyline. Chicago’s recent struggles, including six straight losses, make them an underdog worth considering only for risk-tolerant bettors. For those targeting totals, the under appears favorable, given both teams’ tendencies toward low-scoring games.
Caleb Williams QB vs. Brock Purdy QB
Caleb Williams has shown glimpses of promise but has not had much help from Chicago’s offensive line. In 12 games, he managed to pass for 2,612 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions, completing 61.6 % of his passes suggests that there are issues to his problem. Williams’ game has also been hampered by 49 sacks, which turned out to provide the Bears with lost momentum. He will also need to limit mistakes and make the best use of opportunities against San Francisco’s defense.
For the 49ers, Brock Purdy has been more efficient with 2707 passing yards and a passer rating of 94.8. While he had only 13 touchdown passes and 8 interceptions which hints at inconsistency, Purdy’s ability to stretch the field with 8.4 yards average per attempt means he is a dangerous player. Against Chicago’s struggles in the secondary, Purdy has a very good chance to perform well once again.
Bears’ Ground and Air Attack Needs a Spark
D’Andre Swift and DJ Moore are called upon to step up for the Chicago offense as they aim for recovery after their loss against Detroit. Swift has 704 rushing yards this season but has only managed to average 3.9 yards per carry which indicates a persistent problem with the run blocking on the offensive line. DJ Moore has the highest impact on the receiving unit, with 663 yards and five touchdowns, however, he will be up against San Francisco’s strong and organised defensive backs.
49ers’ Balanced Offense Could Dominate
In the San Francisco lineup, Jordan Mason’s 789 rushing yards and Jauan Jennings’ 684 receiving yards made the team’s offensive structure more balanced. The 49ers now boast Mason’s 5.2 yards per carry which indicates his power and Jennings, the ability to stretch the field to offer Brock Purdy a deep strike option. That said, the 49ers have suffered a tough defeat, 10-35 against the Buffalo Bills, where aspects of their offensive performance were quite concerning.

Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Previews
In this instance, the 49ers seem to have an edge over their opponents, as they have better form and will be playing at home. With the 49ers having a more rounded attack and the Bears failing on defense, too much logic to Manhattan the 49ers to win the handicap. The under remains attractive as well, based on trends for both teams.
Such prop bets as Jennings’ pass receiving yards or Mason’s rushing yards may give some value, as both should be able to take advantage of some mismatches.
Score Prediction: 49ers 27, Bears 13.
