This is new territory for the Bears.
When they take the field Sunday, they will be favored for the first time in 344 days. That was, amazingly, the last time the Bears played a team with a worse record than their own.
The Saints are 1-5 and have a -49 point differential — both are the worst marks in the NFC.
As for the Bears, every team in the NFL has lost since they last did.
New territory indeed. Dangerous territory.
The last time the Bears were favored, according to point spreads kept by Stathead.
