Las Vegas Raiders vs Chicago Bears: Game preview and prediction for 2021 Week 5
By Alex Perl
The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and here is our preview and prediction of the matchup inside Allegiant Stadium.
Khalil Mack is back. Well at least back to play against his former team in the Las Vegas Raiders. This will not be the first time Mack will be playing against his former team, but it will be in terms of not only at home for the Raiders, but also within the United States.
The Chicago Bears (2-2) will be coming into Las Vegas looking to go over .500, while also fully unleashing a rookie quarterback. For a Raiders team that finally sports a solid defensive unit, this should be a feast in terms of sacks and pressures, and interceptions to boot.
Justin Fields has a very high ceiling, but it so far has not been realized, and if not for the poor play of top picks Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, his struggles at quarterback would be emphasized much heavier than what we have seen so far.
The Raiders (3-1) tasted defeat for the first time on Monday and will be looking to not taste it once again, as they face a Bears team that they should be favored to overcome. But football is not played on paper, and the Bears, sporting a solid defense should provide some challenge to the Silver and Black.
