In an NFC divisional last-position holders’ duel, the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) will host the Chicago Bears (4-8) on Sunday, December 8 at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers and Bears were both expected to have better seasons than what their current predicament states.
The Chicago Bears are hanging by a fine thread after suffering their sixth consecutive loss last week. The Niners game would be the newly instated Thomas Brown‘s first game in charge. A loss would mean the Bears’ attempt to make the wildcard would be in shambles. The Bears are out of contention for the NFC North divisional title.
The Detroit Lions have 12 wins while the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are trailing close behind with 10 and 9 wins respectively. The upcoming games aren’t looking any good either. They face all their divisional rivals, who all defeated them once already, plus the Seattle Seahawks.
The San Francisco 49ers are in no better shape either. As quarterback Brock Purdy noted to the reporters after a cruel loss to the Buffalo Bills, each game is a must-win situation. They will look to ideally start their new mindset from the get-go. Ravaged by injuries to main players, the 49ers have suffered one of the worst downfalls of the season. From being last year’s NFC Championship, the Niners are on edge to make their first playoff absence since 2020.

Why the San Francisco 49ers will win?
The Chicago Bears are coming off a sixth successive loss and a new coach. The San Francisco 49ers can take advantage of the Bears’ lost momentum and new change to their advantage, especially being at their home stadium.
The San Francisco 49ers defense has been stellar despite their offensive woes. Ranked fifth in the NFL for total defense, San Francisco allows a moderate 24.7 points per game but excels at limiting yardage, particularly with their strong pass defense. The Niners would expect Deebo Samuel Sr. to take the brunt considering McCaffrey is out of the season.
Brock Purdy hasn’t lived up to the expectations in the last couple of weeks. As he edges into his first attempt to get a better contract, Purdy would be key to their win. As the 49ers are down a rusher, they might strengthen their passing game in Purdy to dominate the Bears.
Why the Chicago Bears can win?
The San Francisco 49ers have an injury-ruined season. A handful of star players are off the field, which is a huge advantage for the underdogs. They have almost 10 players on the Injured Reserve.
The Bears haven’t all been bad in their last three losses either. They faced their divisional rivals in the last three outings, losing each game within one score. The Bears limited the Lions pretty well with poor clock management giving away a much-deserved win. The coaching change could swing in the Bears’ way as well.
The numbers for interim head coaches changing the fortunes mid-season aren’t press-worthy. However, the New Orleans Saints were able to grab two quick wins after the Dennis Allen firing. The Bears would be expecting a similar outcome and pull off a surprise. After Brown would need some instant results to fend off the likes of Kliff Kingsbury to cement his position.
