Saints vs. Bears 2013: Game Time, TV Schedule, Online Streaming, Odds and More

The New Orleans Saints head to Soldier Field! Following a win over the Dolphins, the Saints hope to widen their undisputed lead in the division with a win against the Chicago Bears! Below is everything you need to know to follow along as they represent their division against the NFC North: game time, TV schedule, radio coverage, online streaming, odds and more!

The New Orleans Saints (4-0) head to Chicago to represent the division against the NFC North. After being handed their first loss of the season in Detroit during Week 4, the Chicago Bears (3-1) should present a challenge as they look to bounce back at home.

Those who have been predicting a high-scoring affair might not have checked the weather forecast. After three days of rain, more thunderstorms on game day could slow the game and give the home team an extra edge against Drew Brees, who has never won a game at Soldier Field... as a Charger or as a Saint. At least the temperature -- expected to be in the 50's -- should not be too terribly frigid for the Southern dome team; though it will be cold enough to add another layer of misery to whichever team finds themselves soaked, muddy, and losing.
