The Sun-Times\u2019 experts offer their picks for the Bears\u2019 game Sunday at the Ravens (noon, CBS-2).<\/p>\n
Ravens, 34-23: This is a bad spot for the Bears \u2014 provided that Lamar Jackson plays. The 1-5 Ravens are coming off a bye and can\u2019t afford to lose without sinking further into obscurity. Even if Jackson is hampered, they\u2019ll be desperate. The Bears won\u2019t be. This year: 4-2<\/p>\n
Ravens, 36-27: At 1-5, the Ravens still have better odds of winning the Super Bowl than the Patriots or Seahawks, both who are 5-2. Nobody is ready to write them off, and this sure looks like the time for them to get back on track. This year: 3-3<\/p>\n
Ravens, 24-23: Brimming with confidence, the Bears will be tough to beat whether Jackson plays or not. But John Harbaugh\u2019s Ravens are usually good after the bye, and their defense is better than it\u2019s been. This year: 5-1<\/p>\n
Bears, 20-10: In the two games the Ravens have lost since Jackson went down, they\u2019ve been outscored 61-13. This game \u2014 if Jackson remains out \u2014 could be the biggest break the Bears catch all season. Though problems with Caleb Williams\u2019 play will get louder. This year: 3-3<\/p>\n
Bears, 23-20: Will he or won\u2019t he? That goes for Jackson, whose availability to play in this game is uncertain. It also goes for Williams, whose ability to play like a star \u2014 and not just once in a while \u2014 is very much uncertain. The defense can\u2019t be counted on to create four more turnovers and take Williams off the hook. What say you, No. 18? This year: 5-1<\/p>\n
The predictions are varied, with most experts favoring the Ravens but a couple picking the Bears to win. The availability of Lamar Jackson will likely play a significant role in the outcome of the game. If he plays, the Ravens are expected to win, but if he’s out, the Bears may have a chance to capitalize on the Ravens’ struggles.<\/p>\n
