New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears: Bold Predictions

It’s a pretty common occurrence for fans and analysts to make bold predictions about a game or season. If the prediction doesn’t come true, then that’s OK - you said it was bold! If it DOES come true, though... now you look like a genius!

So in that spirit, some of the Canal Street Chronicles writers were asked to share with me a bold prediction or two for the Week 8 of the regular season for the New Orleans Saints: returning home to the Dome to face the Chicago Bears. This is their chance to look brilliant!

Here are a few of the bold predictions provided by some of the contributors at Canal Street Chronicles:

Here are my three bold predictions for the game:

• Drew Brees passes for a season-high in single-game yards.
• Mark Ingram out-rushes the entire Bears team.
• The Saints start a new streak of games without a turnover, beginning in Week 8.
