The Bears are still one of two candidates to go from out of the playoffs to a first round bye this season. Seattle is more likely, however, but I still think they can win at home against the Packers next week and win out against Arizona and Detroit, going 11-5 and losing the division on a tiebreaker. They’ll go to Washington in the first round in this scenario and I give the slight edge to the home team.
