And the bad-news Bears' season-ending record will be …

How about those Bears, everybody?

To put a finer point on it: Will they ever win again?

In this week’s “Polling Place,” your home for Sun-Times sports polls on the social platform X, we asked what the Bears’ record will be after the 17-game season. They’re 4-6 heading into Sunday’s game against the Vikings at Soldier Field.

“Could be 7-10, but probably 6-11,” @JeffreyCanalia commented.

“All these choices are pathetic,” @JTurco60 wrote. “What a freaking embarrassment from top to bottom.”

Next, we asked about the Bulls’ projected season win total of 29½. Over or under?

“Over,” @DeyoSahler replied. “The East is bad, and the team plays hard. Young guys will carry them even if [Zach] LaVine and [Nikola] Vucevic are traded.”

Finally, got any plans for New Year’s Eve? We asked if you’d go to the Blackhawks’ Winter Classic game at Wrigley Field that night if offered a free ticket.

“Saying no to this is crazy work,” according to @arrosen76.

“I’d pay $100 not to have to go,” @TheChrisSchultz wrote.

On to the polls:

Poll No. 1: Some are saying the Bears (4-6) might not win another game. With seven to go, predict their final record.

Upshot: Bears fans, bless ’em, somehow keep getting out of bed on Sundays anyway.

Poll No. 2: The over/under on wins for the Bulls (who are 6-10 with 66 games left) is 29½. What are you taking?

Upshot: One of these years, the Bulls will have a team we all can’t help but be excited about. OK, fine, one of these decades.

Poll No. 3: If you were offered a free ticket to the Blackhawks-Blues Winter Classic game at Wrigley Field on New Year’s Eve, would you go?

Upshot: Just so everyone knows, this New Year’s gala is black-tie optional. Alas, it’s also Blackhawks-score-a-goal optional.
