Bettors are bullish on the Bears.
Since the odds opened on Super Bowl LVIII, the Bears have gone from 100-1 to 50-1 to win the Super Bowl. According to Adam Pullen, Caesars Sportsbook assistant director of trading, bettors saw a lot of value in the Bears early on.
With a regular season win total set at over/under 7.5, Caesars is seeing a lot of action on the over. Same goes with whether the Bears make the playoffs. With former Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers leaving in a trade with the New York Jets, it appears that the NFC North is wide open. Nobody knows what to expect from Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who will step into the starting role for the first time since the Packers selected him with a first-round draft pick in 2020.
Despite the popularity with bettors, the Bears are not likely to have that big of a turnaround. The biggest one-year turnaround for a Super Bowl champion was the 1999 Rams, who won only four games the year prior.
"It's reflective of how the team does," Pullen said."If Justin Fields gets the Bears to the playoffs, that's certainly going to elevate his chances of winning the MVP. Obviously, he's got to put up the numbers, but it's relative to team success."

If Brisker can stay healthy throughout training camp this summer, he will have a chance to hit the ground running during the regular season. The hope is that Brisker's understanding of the game at the NFL level will continue to evolve with another year of experience and film study.
