Full Week 1 Stat Predictions for Chicago Bears' Offense

The NFL season kicks off this Sunday and Chicago Bears fans will finally get their first real look at Marc Trestman's offense.

Fans were teased with the team's aggressive play-calling and success against the Oakland Raiders during the third preseason game, and hope for much of the same this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals finished sixth behind the Bears in total defense last season, allowing just 319 yards of total offense per game.

The defense is highlighted by a stout defensive line that features one of the league's best young defensive tackles, Geno Atkins, and has two athletic and quick defensive ends in Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap.

Trestman's offense will be faced with a difficult task on Sunday, but new additions along the offensive line, and a new philosophy will be on displayed against one of the league's best.

Here are full Week 1 state predictions for the Chicago Bears' offense:

Quarterback

Jay Cutler

23-of-35, 318 Yards, 2 Touchdowns, 1 Interception

It has been no secret that the key to the Bears' success this season on offense will fall on the shoulders of quarterback Jay Cutler.

The Bengals boast one of the better cornerback trios in the league with starters Leon Hall and Terrance Newman as well as Adam Jones. 

Hall and Newman both finished last season with two interceptions each and Jones gave up just two touchdowns all of last season.

Expect Cutler to come out slinging on Sunday afternoon and while he has thrown an interception or less in 15 of his last 18 regular season games, he has thrown at least one interception in Week 1 during his first four years in Chicago.

In order for the Bears to win against a stingy Bengals defense, Cutler will have to be at the top of his game.

Running Back

Matt Forte

18 Rushing Attempts, 77 Rushing Yards, 1 Touchdown, 4 Receptions, 53 Receiving Yards

Forte is expected to play a big role in the Bears offense, but will be faced with going up against a tough Bengals defensive line.

The Bengals did allow over 107 yards rushing a game last season, and if Forte's solid preseason runs are any indication of what he can do this season, he could put forth a solid game against the Bengals.

The Bears will try to not only use him in the running game but also as a receiver. Expect him to get opportunities out of the backfield as well as lined up as a wide receiver.

Michael Bush

4 Rushing Attempts, 18 Rushing Yards

The Bears may utilize Bush more in the backfield alongside Forte but I expect him to only get a handful of carries as the bigger emphasis appears to be on the passing game.

Wide Receiver

Brandon Marshall

6 Receptions, 88 Yards

2012 was a record breaking year for Brandon Marshall as he set career highs in catches (118), yards (1,508) and touchdowns (11) and he will look to get back on that pace on Sunday afternoon.

Marshall returned to practice Monday according to ESPN Chicago following a four day excused absence but is expected to make an impact Sunday afternoon.

He was able to impose his will at times last season, but will matchup against two solid cornerbacks in Leon Hall and Terrence Newman. He should benefit from the added weapons on offense and Trestman's new offensive philosophies.

Alshon Jeffery

5 Receptions, 77 Yards, 1 Touchdown

Jeffery was expected to have a bigger impact on the Bears offense last season but injuries slowed down his rookie campaign.

He was impressive in the team's third preseason game against the Raiders, where he hauled in seven catches for 77 yards, including a long of 22 yards.

He has shown the ability to run after the catch and could be an effective weapon in the slot against a smaller Leon Hall or Adam Jones, depending on which defensive back they play in the slot.

Marquess Wilson

2 Receptions, 30 Yards

Wilson may of been considered a long shot to make the roster after being a seventh round pick, but he was able to prove his worth and lock in a spot on the 53-man roster.

If Earl Bennett is not able to return from a concussion for Sunday's game, Wilson could get some work in the slot, but also has the ability to stretch the field.

Look for the Bears to utilize his size and speed and to slowly work him into the wide receiver rotation.

Joe Anderson

1 Reception, 13 Yards

After a strong showing in the final few games of the 2012 season, Anderson came into camp with some buzz.

While his play trailed off a bit towards the end of training camp and the preseason, he should still find himself getting a lot of playing time on Sunday afternoon.

Tight End

Martellus Bennett

4 Receptions, 63 Yards, 1 Touchdown

After enduring Kellen Davis for the past couple of seasons, Bears fans have openly embraced tight end Martellus Bennett.

He can create matchup nightmares with his size and speed and will likely become a focal point for Jay Cutler in the redzone and in the middle of the field.

The Bengals have a solid trio of linebackers (James Harrison, Vontaze Burfict, Rey Maualuga) that could slow down Bennett but he should be able to have a productive afternoon if he can find space in the middle of the field.

Dante Rosario

1 Reception, 9 Yards

The Bears acquired Rosario Monday afternoon from the Dallas Cowboys and it will not be a shock to see him on the field this Sunday.

He is another tall receiver for quarterback Jay Cutler, and with the Bengals likely honing in on Bennett, he could find a pass or two coming his way.
