Because they think that the Bears are who they thought they were.

Im a Bears fan as well but im still not sure the Bears are all that good this year thats why no one ever picks the Bears plus Atlanta is a very good team with home field advantage tonight

From an analytic staindpoint, I think Cutler's erratic play scares people and they don't have faith in their recievers, even Devin Hester.

Also, this defense isn't exactly amazing. 13th in total defense, so they mediocre, so far. 22nd in total offense? Not so good. So they may be able to hold good offenses off but not for long and like a typical Chicago Bears team, can't keep up on the scoreboard.

That's why analysts don't pick them, especially on the road against a good Atlanta team.

Because their offensive coordinators have always been so conservative and gutless. I am hoping they win their division, and happy for them to finally have a quarterback, but sorry, their coaches stink! And Lovie just might be the worst NFL coach at using the Red Flags/ challenges.

Additionally, maybe many analysts chose the Falcons to beat the Bears because Atlanta has a really good team this year.

cause the dirty birds look pretty good this year, and the bears really do not. the O line is weak, Def is old. Cutler is not a good QB, and they have the worst Wr Corps in the NFL.

they need to start planning for the Draft.
