Here is our 49ers at Bears Betting preview and odds for this NFL week 1 clash.

The Trey Lance era is officially starting in San Francisco. And Lance’s first real test will come against another quarterback that is also still proving himself to be worthy of the starter position in Justin Fields.

Last season, the Niners fell just a single game short of playing the Super Bowl. But they blew a ten-point lead in the second half and ended up losing 20-17 to the eventual champs the Rams.

49ers Offseason

The offseason wasn’t easy for San Francisco, including Deebo Samuel asking to leave the team.

Thankfully for 49ers fans, the team was able to dissuade Samuel and he’s staying in San Fran after signing a 3-year deal during training camp.

The Niners still have Jimmy G on their roster, but chances are that Garoppolo won’t make it to the regular season wearing a 49ers jersey as Lance will be the starter.

And there are a couple of teams out there that are in need of a better starter than what they currently have.

When it comes to Lance, he is in for a treat as he will count on a ton of attacking weapons, including Samuel, Trey Sermon, Elijah Mitchell, and of course George Kittle.

Bears Offseason

After going 34-31 in 4 seasons and a 6-11 record last season, the Bears finally fired Matt Nagy and cleaned the house during the offseason.

Former Indy defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is taking over for Nagy as head coach.

Eberflus is the 5^th coach for Chicago in eleven seasons.

With a team that almost made it to the most important game of the season last year and a new young, eager starting quarterback, the Niners are definitely favorites.

And they are big favorites over a team with huge question marks on both sides of the field.

The focus of the Bears and Eberflus will definitely be on defense, especially when it comes to covering Deebo Samuel.

This of course is easier said than done.

Now, the running game for Chicago is strong, including great running backs such as Khalil Herbert and David Montgomery.

On the negative side, Justin Fields lost one of his most powerful offensive weapons in WR Allen Robinson.

And, although Chicago managed to acquire N’Keal Harry from the Pats, he is just not as good or reliable as vet Robinson.

This is particularly true after Harry injured his ankle in the offseason, and now he can even miss this Week 1 opener.

Now, there is always a Week 1 upset that gets everybody scratching their heads about how and why it happened.

But this one is likely not going to be it.

Yes, this is going to be a battle between two rookie quarterbacks, but Trey Lance has a better team backing him up.

This includes a powerful defensive lineup that features a guy such as Nick Bosa, who is a seasoned game-wrecker.

And, if we consider that the Bears allowed 58 sacks in 17 games for most in the league last season, Lance definitely has the edge over Fields in this battle.
