Game Overview
Date: Sunday, 2026-09-13 at 13:00 ET
Spread: -2.5 | Total: 47.5
Chicago Bears (Away)
Record: 11-6
Power Ranking: #10
Moneyline: -148
Head Coach: Ben Johnson
Offensive Coordinator: Press Taylor
Defensive Coordinator: Dennis Allen
Outlook: Chicago's upward trajectory remains clear, but injuries in the secondary and receiving corps have created early concern. The Bears still have enough talent to contend if those units regain their health.
Changes This Year: The Bears overhauled their roster this offseason, hiring Ben Johnson—formerly the Lions' offensive coordinator—as head coach to energize the offense. They rebuilt the offensive line by adding Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, and Drew Dalman, and brought in Grady Jarrett to bolster the defensive front. With Caleb Williams as the franchise quarterback and several key signings, Chicago is aiming for a major turnaround in 2025.

Carolina Panthers (Home)
Record: 8-9
Power Ranking: #23
Moneyline: 124
Head Coach: Dave Canales
Offensive Coordinator: Brad Idzik
Defensive Coordinator: Ejiro Evero
Outlook: The defending NFC South champions have already absorbed several important injuries, especially around the offensive line. Added tackle depth helps, but Carolina enters Week 1 with less margin for error than expected.
Changes This Year: The Panthers enter 2025 with Dave Canales in his second season as head coach and a focus on developing young quarterback Bryce Young. They strengthened the offensive line and added weapons around Young while bolstering the defense with a mix of draft picks and veteran signings, aiming to take a step forward after a rebuilding year.
