These teams last met in 2017. The 49ers won this game 15-14.
Chicago Bears
For the first time since 2010, the Chicago Bears have been crowned as the NFC North champions. There was no better way to clinch the division then to beat arch rivals, the Green Bay Packers. The Bears will now try to improve their playoff seeding by winning out and receiving help.
The offense is by no means a strong point for the Bears. They do average 27.4 points per game, which ranks 6th in the NFL, but their total yards per game are near the bottom of the league. Their best offensive category in terms of rankings is their running game.

Of course the defense has been the backbone of this team all season long. They allow 310.9 total yards per game. This ranks 3rd in the NFL. Furthermore, they allow 227.3 passing yards, which ranks 10th and 83.6 rushing yards, which ranks 2nd in the NFL. Another important stat is they allow an average of 18.9 points per game, which ranks 3rd in the league. Look for the Bears to once again play shut down defense and improve their record to 11-4.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers may not have a good record, but they managed to defeat Seattle this past weekend. This hurt their chances of making the postseason and was their first win against the Seahawks in many years. Now they will once again be looking to
The emergence of Nick Mullins has really helped the 49ers this season. With Garoppolo suffering that early season injury, and C.J. Beathard not panning out, Mullins has provided a spark for the 49ers and now have led them on a two game win streak. Overall offensively, the 49ers are putting up decent numbers in yards, but where they are hurt is their inability to score enough points. They only average 21.5 points per game, which ranks them at 22nd in the league. This is now even more of a concern because they will be facing one of if not the best defense in the NFL. If the 49ers are going to pull off an upset, they will need to have no turnovers in this game and must finish drives with touchdown instead of field goals.

The 49ers have decent numbers defensively, but the main problem lies in how many points they allow. They allow an average of 26.6 points per game, which ranks 26th in the NFL. Luckily for them, the Bears do not have a great offense, so the 49ers may be able to take advantage of this factor. For the 49ers to win they need to force the Bears into turning the ball over and limit as many scoring opportunities as possible.
