Predict the Score: Chicago vs. Carolina

The Bears are on a roll and now face the 1-5 Panthers! Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch baseball cap!

The Bears are rolling, having won their last four games, while the Panthers are headed in the opposite direction, dropping their last four. Can Chicago make it to 6-1 this week?

Patch is getting in on the action.

Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch baseball cap. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.

Congratulations to Kimberly, of New Lenox, who predicted the Bears would beat the Lions 17-6 last week (the actual score was 13-7).

 HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

• If you’re a Patch reader, simply comment on the bottom of this article with your name and what you think the final score of the next Bears game will be. (Example: Benny Bears Fan, Bears 102, Panthers 0.)

• All entries need to be received by the start of the game. Because the Bears' game is at noon Sunday (CST), we'll need all entries by then.

• To determine the winner, we will take the difference between actual points scored and predicted score for each team, and add them up for everyone who posted in the comments section. The person whose combined total is closest to zero wins. And it doesn't matter if the points you give are higher or lower than actual points scored, we're just looking for the person who has the lowest differential.

• If two or more people tie for being the closest to the actual total of points scored, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner.

• Only one entry allowed per person. All participants must be 18 years or older. You can read our official giveaway guidelines here.

So, please, comment away. And tell your friends!
