In this special edition of _Logic Dictate Hot Topics_, host Steve Gibson breaks down the Chicago Bears playoff picture and answers the question dominating Chicago sports talk: is the second seed or third seed the better path to the Super Bowl? From a potential first-round showdown against the Green Bay Packers to cold-weather battles at Soldier Field against the Rams, Eagles, or 49ers, Gibson delivers a bold, strategic playoff forecast—and explains why the Bears may be closer to the Super Bowl than most fans realize.

Welcome back to _Logic Dictate Hot Topics_. I’m your host, *Steve Gibson*, and today’s episode is a special edition—because we’re talking Chicago Bears playoff football.

There’s been a major debate here in Chicago over seeding, matchups, and playoff paths. Should the Bears want the second seed or the third seed? While that question matters, I believe there’s a much bigger—and more important—question to ask: What does the Bears’ actual playoff road look like, and can it take them all the way to the Super Bowl?

Today, I break it all down—round by round, opponent by opponent, weather, matchups, and momentum—starting with the game that concerns me most and ending with the one that could define the season.

Let’s be honest—the playoff game that worries me most isn’t the conference finals or the Super Bowl. It’s the first round… against the *Green Bay Packers*.

But if the Chicago Bears can get past Green Bay—and I believe they can—everything changes. Suddenly, Soldier Field becomes a fortress. Suddenly, the cold matters. Suddenly, teams like the Los Angeles Rams*, *Philadelphia Eagles*, or even *San Francisco 49ers have to come to Chicago and deal with it.

And if that happens?

We’re not talking about playoff hopes anymore.
We’re talking about a legitimate path to the Super Bowl—and a potential showdown with the *Houston Texans*, the most dangerous defense in football.

This isn’t fan optimism.
This is logic.
