Kalshi cut Chicago's playoff odds to 46% after the Bears lost 9-3 to Minnesota and quarterback Caleb Williams left with a fourth-quarter hamstring injury expected to sideline him for weeks.
Three points marked a sharp drop from Chicago's 59-point opener, as bad weather disrupted the passing game and Williams finished 15-of-28 for 138 yards with an interception.
The ground game also cooled: the Bears managed 134 rushing yards, with D'Andre Swift at 45 and Kyle Monangai at 47 after both topped 100 yards in Week 1.
Tyson Bagent replaced Williams late and failed to lead a touchdown drive, though he offers some experience after going 2-2 as a starter in 2023.
Week 3 now brings a Monday night test against 2-0 Philadelphia, with the Jets, Packers, Falcons, Patriots and Seahawks next on a tougher stretch without Williams.
