We’re still months away from the start of the 2026 NFL season, but it’s never too early to look ahead to what’s shaping up to be an exciting year for the Chicago Bears.
Following an impressive 11-6 season, where first-year head coach Ben Johnson took his team from worst to first, an NFC North title and the team’s first playoff win in nearly two decades, there are high expectations for Chicago. But it won’t be an easy task as the Bears have the most difficult strength of schedule (based on last year’s results). Still the combination of Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams should produce results.
Despite the Bears’ impressive 2025 season, which included 11 wins, Chicago’s expected win total is less than that ahead of the 2026 season (9.5), which ranks third in the NFC North. But what about the rest of the league? Here’s every team’s projected win total for the 2026 season, according to DraftKings.
