Bears Super Bowl odds take massive leap after ‘Monday Night Football’ win

The Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl odds shortened sharply after they beat reigning champions the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, putting them among the leading contenders in the betting market. The surge reflects strong support for the team and an improved season under coach Ben Johnson, though a difficult schedule and a challenging position in the NFC North remain obstacles.

BetMGM lists Chicago at +900, behind the Buffalo Bills at +550 and San Francisco 49ers at +600; the Bears opened the season at 25/1, and have attracted 30 per cent of the money wagered on Super Bowl futures. Quarterback Caleb Williams ranks second among qualified quarterbacks in QBR (78.9) and completion percentage (70.9), while his MVP odds have moved to +800. Chicago is 0-2 within its division and trails the 6-1 Minnesota Vikings; its remaining opponents include the Lions twice, the Bills, Jaguars, Packers and Vikings.
