The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas radio host Bernie Fratto and Sunset Station sports book director Chuck Esposito preview the Bears’ season in the 10th of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

Only one team in the league was shut out in the first week of the preseason. Is it an overreaction to bury the Bears because of a pathetic performance in early August?
John Fox-coached teams historically improve in his second season. Will the trend continue in Chicago?
The Bears went 1-7 at Soldier Field last season, but five of the losses were by six points or fewer. Can quarterback Jay Cutler get the team over the hump in close games?
Matt Forte has followed Brandon Marshall to the New York Jets, so who can Cutler count on to make big plays?
Over or Under 7½ regular-season wins?
