What channel is Bears vs. Panthers on today? Time, TV schedule for Week 5 game

The Chicago Bears (2-2) will battle the Carolina Panthers (1-3) on Sunday in Week 5, where the Bears are looking to stack back-to-back wins.

Chicago is coming off a 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams (1-3), where all three phases played a role in the win. The defense continued its dominant effort, holding their opponent to 21 or fewer points in their 10th consecutive game and coming away with some timely takeaways. The Bears offense appeared to find its identity with an impressive performance on the ground, led by D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, while rookie Caleb Williams continued to make strides. Even rookie punter Tory Taylor played a part with two late fourth-quarter punts that pinned Los Angeles deep.

Meanwhile, Carolina is coming off their third loss of the season, a 34-24 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals (1-3). The Panthers offense has looked more in sync since the switch from second-year pro Bryce Young to veteran -- and former Bear -- Andy Dalton. But Cincinnati's pass defense remains their Achilles heel, as they've allowed nine touchdown passes in four games and more points than any team in the NFL.

Bears vs. Panthers predictions, picks, odds

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Saturday, Oct. 5

Bears 24, Panthers 17: This game doesn’t look as easy as it did a few weeks ago back when Bryce Young was the starting quarterback, especially with Andy Dalton and co. averaging 30 points per game in the last two weeks. But Dalton hasn’t faced a defense like Chicago’s yet this season, and there will be opportunities to force him into the mistakes that have helped the defense have their hand in a victory. The Bears offense will look to once again establish the run with D'Andre Swift, who's coming off his best game of the season, to help open up the downfield passing attack for Caleb Williams, who continues to make strides with each passing game. This game will be closer than previously expected. But I still expect Chicago to pull off their eighth straight home win.
