(CBS) With a brand new coaching staff and brand new offensive scheme, it’s difficult to predict exactly how the Bears will fare in 2013.
But Bears legendary linebacker Dick Butkus has a guess.
Speaking with Tom Musick of Shaw Media, the Hall of Famer said he expects big things from Marc Trestman’s bunch.
“I think they may win 11 or 12,” Butkus said. “The only thing is, I think their division is going to be a lot tougher. Everybody is improving. You still have Green Bay. I do think the longer you have that offense on the field, it’s going to help our defense. We should have some good, close games.”
