Windy City Gridiron
Two very good football teams meet up on Sunday Night Football as the (11-4) Chicago Bears travel West to play the (11-4) San Francisco 49ers. Last season, these two teams combined for 11 wins and were each last in their respective divisions.
The Bears are looking for their third straight win, while the ‘Niners are looking for their sixth consecutive victory. Both teams have already clinched a postseason spot, and the winner also stays alive for the NFC’s top seed, no matter what transpires in the other weekend games.
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 7:20 p.m. CT, from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The weather will be partly cloudy, with a high of 56 and a low of 44.
Another prime time, national game for the Bears, this time on NBC and Peacock with Mike Tirico on the play-by-play and Cris Collinsworth on color.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.
Sam Householder’s game preview is right here, plus we had several other previews at WCG and 2nd City Gridiron.

The last time I checked, the odds from our partners at FanDuel had the Bears as a 3-point underdog and the over/under at 52.5.
