DET 2x, MIN 2x, GB 2x, LAR, AZ, SF, SEA, HOU, TEN, IND, JAX
Assuming the Bears finish 4th in the division (most likely), they would play the 4th place finishers of the NFC East and NFC South.
The NFC South 4th place finisher is gonna be the Panthers, and for the NFC East it’s really between the Giants and Commanders but I think it’ll be the commanders.
The Bears will play the 17th game against the same place finisher of the AFC East, so that will probably end up being New England.
Home games: DET, MIN, GB, LAR, SEA, TEN, JAX
Away games: DET, MIN, GB, AZ, SF, HOU, IND
As for the place-finish based games, I’m not sure how the NFL determines where those are played but either 1 or 2 will be at home.
Like I said I’m willing to bet it ends up being NE, WAS, & CAR for those three
Do we think this is a favorable schedule for next year?

Seems like a pretty good schedule. I see four really tough games with DETx2, JAX, SF, and the rest are winnable if we improve this offseason (though obviously if we have a rookie QB that likely means another year below .500)
17-0. Caleb Williams MVP and Super Bowl MVP. Montez Sweat DPOY. Harbaugh COY. Virginia dies a week before the SB.
probably 17-0 or so is my read
The NFL has too much parity to know if a schedule is easy or hard a year in advance. Teams go from the top to bottom and vice versa in a offseason. Things change even by the middle of a season, the Broncos were historically bad at the beginning of the year now they are above .500 and won a bunch of games in a row.
Any idea if the AFC East game would be home or away? How is that determined?
