The Chicago Bears rebounded last week to beat the St. Louis Rams, but now a bigger test awaits as they head to Dallas for Monday Night Football.
Patch is getting in on the action.
Predict the score prior to Monday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch T-shirt. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing for a larger prize.
Congratulations to last week's winner, York, who predicted the Bears would beat the Rams 24-13 with an eight-point difference from the actual score of 23-6.
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, Cowboys 0.)
• All entries need to be received by the start of the game. Since the Bears' game is at 7:30 p.m. Monday (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!

Dottie should win she was 38-31 = 7 (Bears) and 18-12 = 6 (Cowboys) which equals 13. WAAYYYY closer than John. Good job, Dottie, way to root for your team! (p.s.: I know this involves more math for Patch, but I'd be happy to do it for you since it gives a way more accurate result)
Never hit a system what was set up this way. Most are team 1 (actual) - team 1 (guess) + team 2 (actual) - team 2 (guess). And often require one to have selected the winner correctly too. And no, I wouldn't have won using this calculation...just ove playing with numbers and have run some fun pools in the past and present.
The Patch, myself, Mayor Dicianni and the entire city council are in with a cabal of corrupt insiders to take over all the assets of the patch website and to corrupt the T Shirt award process. I also plan on using corrupt judges to mandate court ordered busing to bring communists, democrats, atheists, and libertarians to speak at all of our public schools, except for the ones that are ESL. I will speak to them myself, in english, which they wont understand, but unlike my wife,at least they will smile and nod. Then I will go out for lunch with evil developers using taxpayer dollars (i.e. my own) and talk discretely about TIFs.
John guessed 24 for the Bears! 34-24 = 10 13+10 = 23 Your explanation still doesn't make sense. It's okay though, I'll just end this by not playing any more.
And don't worry John, I'll set you up with some Patch swag too for your troubles. I sent you an email earlier today to get your info. Thanks for the interest, everyone!
Flipping John's scores...that makes more sense. You just trying to prove you're human? :)
