Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 7 | 2025 NFL season

The Chicago Bears, who have won three games since Week 3 after suffering two straight defeats to begin the season, will have an opportunity to continue their winning streak on Sunday when they face the New Orleans Saints.

Chicago's most recent game was intense, culminating in a 25–24 win over the Washington Commanders.

New Orleans is 1-5 after six games, which is one of the worst records in the NFL. However, three of the Saints' five losses have been by a single score, indicating that they have been more competitive than their record suggests.

Following a 25–19 setback to the New England Patriots, the Saints will see this Week 7 road game as an opportunity to reset and breathe fresh energy into their season.

Here, we will take a look at the predicted starting lineups of both the Bears and the Saints ahead of the game.
