Things just keep getting worse for the Chicago Bears this season.

It's bad enough that the team is 0-3 to start the season and the players continue to point fingers over the issues in the organization, but now Vegas has completely turned its back on the Bears.

Following Week 3's Sunday slate, the opening odds for the Week 4 matchups were officially released. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Denver Broncos (0-3) are 2.5-point favorites on the road against the Chicago Bears.

This news should come at an utter embarrassment for the Bears and the fans in Chicago. Week 3's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was an overwhelming defeat, but it's not quite as bad as what happened to the Broncos on Sunday.

The Broncos margin of defeat to the Miami Dolphins was a colossal 50-points in Week 3. The final result was 70-20 as the Dolphins mercifully avoided scoring the most points in NFL history.

Miami still finished the game with the second-most points scored of all time, in what could possibly be Sean Payton's worst loss of his coaching career. Even still, it seems the national media and the odds makers trust this team over the Bears.

The Bears have been looking for the ultimate bulletin-board material to use in order to fire up the locker room. They finally got it last night, now let's see if the entire Bears organization can finally rally around a common enemy this weekend and prove the odds wrong.
