The Chicago Bears will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14 of the NFL season at Levi's Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. EST.
All week, questions have lingered over the availability of Bears running back D'Andre Swift and wide receiver DJ Moore, both of whom were listed as questionable on Chicago's final Week 14 injury report.
With kickoff just a few hours away, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported that both Swift and Moore are expected to play against the 49ers in NFL Week 14, according to to Chicago interim head coach Thomas Brown.
Meanwhile, the 49ers have scratched all-pros Nick Bosa and Trent Williams once again.
Having lost first and second string running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason to the injured reserve last week, San Francisco elevated RB Patrick Taylor from the practice squad. Former third-stringer Isaac Guerendo will lead the 49ers' backfield on Week 14 Sunday.
In light of these updates, our data analysts conducted 10,000 simulations of the Bears-49ers matchup early Sunday morning, taking into account each team's latest roster developments. The results were compared to current NFL betting odds to inform the data-driven Bears vs 49ers betting guide below.
