What is your Chicago Bears 2026 record prediction?

The Chicago Bears announced their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, and they've already tweaked it. But top to bottom, this is an interesting group of players. Ben Johnson's offense looks to be one of the league's best again, but the defense is still full of question marks. A whole lot of things need to go right for Dennis Allen's bunch to come through, but the young talent is definitely intriguing.

Check out the latest show from Evan McLean and Ross Read as they dive into the roster, discuss the Gervon Dexter Sr. trade fallout, and give their 2026 Bears record prediction.
