Bears have two of the least watchable games in 2025
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, but there will be no shortage of challenges given their second-most difficult strength of schedule that features slates against the AFC North, NFC East and two contests agains the rest of the NFC North.
Bookies.com recently examined the most and least watchable games on the 2025 schedule. And while the Bears didn't have any games make the most-watchable list, they had two contests on the least-watchable list -- the Bears' Week 10 game against the New York Giants and Chicago's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns.
Using their BWI (Bookies Watchable Index), the Bears-Browns game received a a score of 30.7 while Chicago's least watchable game is against the Giants (30.35).
While there's plenty of excitement surrounding the Bears heading into 2025, due in large part to the duo of Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, the same can't be said for their opponents on this list, New York and Cleveland. The Giants finished with a 3-14 record, which earned them the fourth overall selection in edge rusher Abdul Carter. Meanwhile, the Browns are also coming off a 3-14 campaign, where they landed defensive tackle Mason Graham at fifth overall. Both teams have questions, particularly at the quarterback position, while expectations are high for Williams in Year 2.
While the Bears have one of the most difficult schedules in the league, including games against the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, there are some winnable games on the schedule that should help make head coach Ben Johnson's first year a success.

Angel Reese extends double-double streak with season-high 24 points in Sky's win over Sparks
The Chicago Sky got back to winning on Sunday, and Angel Reese's big day on both sides of the ball was a main reason behind the 92-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. Reese was close to a triple-double after tallying 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists over her 38 minutes on the court for Chicago. Reese was leading the WNBA in rebounds entering this game (12.3), and she notched another game of at least 16 rebounds, marking four straight games doing so. This is also Reese's fourth straight double-double and her 36th in her first 50 career games. It was a season high with 24 points due to an efficient day shooting, as Reese went 10-of-19 from the field, while knocking down all four of her free throw attempts. Then, on the defensive end, Reese added two blocks and one steal for the Sky. But it wasn't just Reese putting in work in this high-scoring game. Guard Ariel Atkins went 7-of-12 from the field to add 20 points, while Rachel Banham (13 points, four assists) and Elizabeth Williams (12 points, nine rebounds, three steals) also handled business among the starting five. Off the bench, Kia Nurse knocked down three three-point attempts to add to her 14 points. For the Sparks, star point guard Kelsey Plum struggled from the field, though she was cashing in from the charity stripe, going 12-for-12 there. However, she went 4-of-16 shooting, including 2-of-9 from three-point land for 22 points. She had seven assists and five rebounds as well. Dearica Hamby added a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Azura Stevens collected 17 points, six rebounds and four assists.
