Expert Picks: All But One Picking Bears To Lose To 49ers
(CBS) It's another tough week for the Bears and our experts from 670 The Score, CBS2 and WBBM Newsradio 780 & 105.9 FM don't have much faith in them leaving San Francisco with a win. Here are their picks as the Bears travel to San Francisco for a Monday night matchup against the 49ers.

| Come Monday, it won't be all right. Time to get those not named Brandon Marshall up and running--or receiving--as the Bears head into the stretch run of what still can be a special season. | I have all the faith in the world in Jason Campbell to be every bit as mortal as Jay Cutler is against a top shelf defense. | The great Dick Van Dyke was so happy to hear from me he actually tripped over his ottoman. I told him not to worry, I talk to mine. But that's not why I called. It's the Bears-49ers game. He said he was petrified to make a pick, but we finally agreed. |
| Record: 7-2 | Record: 8-1 | Record: 7-2 |

| Bottom line is this is about the defenses and the QB who does just enough to win. Right now I'm hearing there's a good chance Smith plays and if he does it's the Niners. | The stakes are high as Jim Harbaugh puts onus on Frank Gore and the offensive line to win and control the No. 2 seed against a Cutler-less team that refuses to score on offense. | A trend I can't ignore: In the last six times the Bears have played at Candlestick, they've been outscored 195-27. Including 2 shutouts. Niners at home minus Smith > Bears on the road minus Cutler. |
| Record: 6-3 | Record: 7-2 | Record: 8-1 |

| 49ers 21, Bears 13 | 49ers 24, Bears 9 | Bears 10, 49ers 6 |
| With or without Jay Cutler, the offense is a work-in-progress. Going to the West Coast and facing a dominate defense won't help either. They'll get another chance to turn a 7-3 start into a playoff appearance. | The offense stumbles as the Niners' running game controls the clock and outscores Robbie Gould. | How soon we forget the 49ers played arguably the ugliest game in the NFL last week. Getting Alshon Jeffery back is bigger than you think. Plus, the 49ers' special teams unit is bad. Hester might finally break one. |
| Record: 7-2 | Record: 6-3 | Record: 9-0 |

| Jay Cutler won't be the only one in a fog come Monday night in San Francisco. The Bears misery by the Bay continues. 49ers 17, Bears 10 in a defensive battle. | The Bears' defense will have a solid day against Alex Smith and Frank Gore, but with Jay Cutler concussed, the offense will struggle and the Bears won't win this Monday Night showdown. | The six game winning streak was a fragile balance. The correction continues with or without Jay Cutler. Even with the loss though, the Bears remain NFC contenders. |
| Record: 7-2 | Record: 9-0 | Record: 8-1 |
