# Adam Chudwin: In his annual game-by-game Bears prediction, Chudwin went through all 17 games and landed on a 12-5 season for Chicago. **Claimed:** Sep 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Adam Chudwin — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/adam-chudwin **Outlet:** The Rich Eisen Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-rich-eisen-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/ESP7304157986.mp3 18 checkable claims — 17 game outcome picks and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 18 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > You've got them twelve and five. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to finish with 12 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Minnesota Vikings to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/lions - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/vikings ## What others said about the same people - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Pat Fitzmaurice on Kyler Murray: Fitzmaurice touts Kyler Murray as a value QB who will start Week 1 for Minnesota, Tyler Shough as the Saints' undisputed starter, and Juwan Johnson and Terrance Ferguson as late-round tight end targets. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/70a7844a-2fb6-44d7-814f-30ec9fbcc26d (scored 100) - Pat Fitzmaurice on Kyler Murray: Fitzmaurice expects Kyler Murray to be Minnesota's Week 1 starter and calls him one of the better quarterback values in 2026 drafts;
