Why This Trend Exists

The Bears' underwhelming Sunday performance stems largely from their organizational instability and tendency to start seasons unprepared. Chicago has cycled through multiple coaching staffs and quarterback situations over this period, creating a franchise that often lacks the consistency needed to execute game plans against well-prepared opponents on the NFL's marquee day. Sunday games typically feature more balanced matchups and extensive film study from opposing teams, exposing the Bears' frequent tactical limitations. Chicago's defensive-minded culture has historically struggled to generate consistent offensive production, particularly problematic on Sundays when games often become shootouts or require sustained drives. The franchise's quarterback carousel has been especially damaging in prime viewing slots, where pressure and scrutiny amplify decision-making deficiencies. Weather conditions at Soldier Field during late-season Sunday games have also worked against a team that's rarely built for aerial attacks. The recent improvement suggests some stabilization under current leadership, but the underlying structural issues persist. Bettors should be particularly cautious backing Chicago as Sunday favorites, especially early in seasons when their preparation and execution typically lag behind more established organizations. This trend carries the most weight in September and October Sunday games when Chicago's seasonal struggles are most pronounced.
