Sunday's NFL regular-season finale presents the ultimate conundrum for Chicago Bears fans: Do they root for the Bears to beat the Packers and stop them from going to the playoffs? Or do they root for maximizing draft position by losing in Green Bay?

The Bears are 3-point underdogs for Sunday afternoon's game, which makes sense because the Packers clinch an NFC wild-card spot with a win – and have a small chance to sneak into the playoffs even if they lose. As for the Bears (7-9), they're currently in the No. 10 spot in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they can move up or down a few spots depending on how this weekend's games shake out.
If you're looking to bet on a local team that plays tonight, then check out the Chicago Bulls hosting the struggling Charlotte Hornets. The Bulls didn't look good Tuesday against Philadelphia, but Joel Embiid and Co. make a lot of teams struggle. Plus, the Bulls might regain Zach LaVine's services tonight. The Chicago Blackhawks, meanwhile, carry a three-game losing streak into tonight's visit to the New Jersey Devils.
