The Chicago Bears (1–2) travel west to face the Las Vegas Raiders (1–2) this afternoon at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Chicago is coming off a morale-boosting win over the Dallas Cowboys, where QB Caleb Williams threw for 298 yards and 4 TDs with a 142.6 passer rating. Luther Burden added 101 yards on three catches, and the Bears converted 57% of third downs while forcing two interceptions. But they’ll be shorthanded again, missing key pieces up front and on defense.
Las Vegas, under Pete Carroll, fell 41–24 to the Washington Commanders in Week 3. Geno Smith passed for 289 yards and 3 TDs, but the Raiders managed just 93 rushing yards, with 63 from Ashton Jeanty, while allowing 201 yards on the ground.
Tight end Tre Tucker was the lone bright spot with 145 yards and 3 scores. With Michael Mayer out, the Raiders promoted Albert Okwuegbunam and Carter Runyon to fill depth.
It’s a matchup of two 1–2 teams: Chicago’s rising offense against a Raiders squad searching for balance and defensive stability.
4 Things to Watch
Chicago’s weakened front & edge protection
The Bears will be without Darnell Wright (right tackle), Grady Jarrett (defensive line), and T.J. Edwards (LB). That leaves them vulnerable to pressure, especially when Williams has to buy time.
Raiders’ TE room & Bowers’ health
With Mayer out, Brock Bowers carries more load. How well he can hang in games while managing his knee brace will matter for Las Vegas’ offense.
Caleb Williams vs. veteran QB matchups
Williams has shown flashes. How he handles pressure, reads pre-snap, and limits mistakes will be a major factor against a Raiders defense trying to pressure and force turnovers.
Turnovers & special teams influence
This may be a tight game. The team that wins the turnover battle — and executes in special teams (returns, coverage) — could tilt this one.
Predictions
Given Chicago’s injuries, Las Vegas may have a slight edge at home. The Bears’ offensive upside with Williams is compelling, but too many weak links could be exposed. If the Raiders’ offense can protect and exploit mismatches — even with Bowers limited — they should be able to push a win. Expect the Bears to keep it close.
Projected Final Score: Raiders 23, Bears 20
