Bears vs. Panthers: TV map, preview, odds, weather and more

The (2-2) Chicago Bears host the (1-3) Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and if the Bears are what we think they are, they should win this game relatively easily.

Chicago's offense made small strides each week, its defense was consistently good, and its special teams were among the best in the league.

The running game should be able to make some noise against Carolina's depleted front, and the Panther defense was vulnerable to slants and passes in the middle of the field, so this should be another good game from Caleb Williams.

But will we get that “wow” moment from him?

Here's everything you need to know for the Bears vs. Panthers game!
