The Bears covered the spread in 11 of their 17 games in 2025, more often than all but four NFL teams. Every Chicago Bears game gets its odds and our call above.
A team that paid its backers
The Bears went 11-6 in the 2025 regular season and covered the spread in 11 of their 17 games. Only four NFL teams covered more often. They did it from both sides of the line: getting points in nine games, giving them in eight.
November was the month. Five games, five wins, four covers. December was 2-2 with three covers, and the regular season closed with a 19-16 home loss to the Lions as a 3-point favorite.
Getting points, and giving them
Was the underdog role a warning? Not in 2025. As underdogs the Bears went 5-4 straight up and covered six times in nine. As favorites they were 6-2 and covered five of eight.
The road was no harder than home. They covered five of eight at home and six of nine away.
One unit on the Bears, every week
Back them to win in every game with a posted moneyline, 16 of the 17, and the season finished 2.98 units up. Nine NFL teams did better. November alone made 3.11 units; the other months, taken together, lost a little.
The best of it came at the longest prices: a 25-24 win in Washington at +200, then 19-17 in Minnesota at +135.
The division
In the NFC North, two losses to the Detroit Lions, neither covered. A split with the Green Bay Packers and another with the Minnesota Vikings, each with one cover. Then January: a 31-27 Wild Card win over Green Bay, and a 20-17 Divisional loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The total
Nine overs and eight unders: no lean either way in 2025.
