I buy it.
I wouldn't have bought it when they were 3-3, even with the Jets, Bills and Lions coming up. I fully expected them to drop at least one, because even good teams frequently under-perform over the course of multiple games.
But now, a 6-3, and seeing what we see out of the NFC, I think the stats guys are saying the Bears have a 71 percent chance of making the playoffs.
The biggest thing is that the Bears have set themselves up for so many potential roads to 10 wins:
--Win the next two games (they'll be favored in both), going to 8-3, so you only have to win 2 of your last 5 games against the likes of the Giants, 49ers, Packers, Vikings, Rams.
--Lose the next two games, but beat the Packers at home, and the Giants and 49ers. Then pick one off against the Vikings or Rams.
--Split the next two games, but beat the Packers, Giants and 49ers. (this seems most likely to me)
--Heck, you could even drop the 49ers or Giants game if you somehow figured out a way to either sweep the Vikings or beat the Rams (seems unlikely, but still...)
Point being, the Bears have a better path than most to the playoffs because they've largely taken care of business against lesser teams. But they're still going to need to flash and show they belong with at least one win against a good team. I think they will.
He’s a smart motherfucker!
Link to podcast?Actually he's not.
In fact if Schein said it, it's probably not going to happen now.
Dude has made awful predictions for YEARS.
I'll never forget absolutely OWNING him live on the air one time on the Sirius show...it was back in 2010, we had just beat the Viqueens in what happened to be Favres last ever game at Soldier. He was acting all shocked and shit and I said "Brad Childress (BTK...the resemblance is uncanny) is the problem and he'll be fired before seasons end for Leslie Frazier." He totally buried me saying Childress isn't going anywhere and Frazier wouldn't be the coach if he was.
2 weeks later everything happened EXACTLY as I told him.
He's a yutz who's knows football about as well as a possum knows quantum physics.

I don't think they called them "podcasts" in 2010, lol.
What?
I know podcasts existed in 2010 ya dweeb...but it was NFL Sirius RADIO...thus...not a podcast.

You should start a podcast.
Way ahead of ya.
The Dolphins and Packers losses hurt so much right now. Win just one of those games, and they'd nearly be a lock for at minimum, a wildcard right now.
