The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Here are the odds and predictions for this Week 9 NFL matchup.
After a sluggish start to the 2021 season in which Pittsburgh started just 1-3, the Steelers have since won three straight games to advance to 4-3. Their sudden resurgence has given this team new life and a fresh perspective on their potential playoff outlook.
Coming off an impressive defensive performance on the road against the Browns in Week 8, the Steelers hope to make their win streak four straight as they look to fend off the Chicago Bears at Heinz Field on Monday Night Football.
Pittsburgh is a relatively healthy team that all of the sudden has climbed back into the hunt not only for a Wild Card spot but possibly for the AFC North. Will they advance to 5-3 after this week?

Steelers vs Bears Prediction Week 9
The Chicago Bears have been up and down this year. While their offense finally showed signs of life in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, their defense didn’t have its best performance — surrendering 33 points on the afternoon. The Bears have now lost three straight games by multiple scores.
Pittsburgh, meanwhile, is playing some of their best football of the 2021 season so far and their defense has cranked it up a notch. Though the passing game isn’t where Ben Roethlisberger would like it to be, the Steelers have rushed for over 100 yards in each of their last three contests and things are trending in the right direction.
I think this game has the potential to be closer than desired, but I have the Steelers coming away with their fourth straight win under the lights at Heinz Field with a final score of 23-17.
