The Indianapolis Colts have had a rocky 0-2 start under second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson and will be looking to avoid 0-3 against rookie No. 1 pick Caleb Williams and his 1-1 Chicago Bears, who also haven’t torn it up on offense quite like many had expected yet.
It’s tough to predict what will happen in a game featuring two young, erratic, and explosive quarterbacks, but Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James recently gave his prediction ahead of the Week 3 battle.
James appeared on GoJo and Golic recently and shared that he believes “I think the Colts get their first win at home” and thinks Richardson will have a great game with the crowd behind him while pointing out that pressure has been an issue for the Bears so far and should be a deciding factor.

It doesn’t look like LeBron was just reciting takes from a second screen like he did on National Tight End Day, but it’s a solid prediction given how poorly the Bears offensive line has looked through two games.
Fans haven’t gotten a full scope of what Caleb Williams is capable of yet since he has been constantly running for his life and Keenan Allen hasn’t suited up yet to take some pressure off him.
Richardson has completed just 49.1 percent of his passes so far and has been a feast-or-famine type of QB so far.
Learning to take what’s given to him and be a little more conservative will be the next step in his development, and this Bears defense will be a good test.
