The Baltimore Sun's Ravens editor, reporters and columnists make their pick for Sunday's game between the Ravens and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Monique Jones
Bears 24, Ravens 21
Backup quarterbacks have had success against the Ravens recently and another is up next in the Bears' Josh McCown. The Ravens' offense continues to search for answers, and that could be a problem on the road.
Ravens 21, Bears 17
The Bears have the No. 31-ranked run defense, so even the Ravens should be able to run against this group. The Ravens need to learn to play well on the road, and this is a good opportunity.
Bears 23, Ravens 16
The Ravens are back on the road, and they still haven't proven they can run the ball or — for that matter — take care of it.
Matt Vensel
Ravens 20, Bears 19
The Ravens are 1-4 on the road, but they will eke out a win against a banged-up Bears team missing its star quarterback, cornerback and linebacker.
Aaron Wilson
Ravens 23, Bears 20
The Ravens manage to pull out a rare road victory on a 50-yard field goal by Justin Tucker, in regulation this time. The Ravens defense does a solid job of generating a pass rush on McCown and shadowing Brandon Marshall, while the offense moves the football decently against a depleted Bears defense.
Bears 27, Ravens 24
Running the football and sustaining drives are imperative to winning on the road. Until the Ravens prove capable of doing those things, it's going to be hard for them to win away from M&T; Bank Stadium, even against a banged-up and average Bears team.
Stan "The Fan" Charles
Ravens 19, Bears 17
The offense showed a couple wrinkles this week, and that's the way it'll have to be for the rest of 2013. However, you had to like the "coming together" party the defense had against the Bengals last week. Can the Ravens defense stop the Bears from running the football? I think they can and will hurry and harass McCown and make him beat them through the air.
