The schedule looks sorta tough. Division games (MIN,DET,GB) 2-4 maybe? NFC West (SF,STL,AZ,SEA) 1-3 might be optimistic. AFC West (OAK,SD,KC,DEN) I could see a 2-2 split there, especially with Fox's familiarity with the division. Lastly TB & WAS should be easy wins, 2-0. That's off the cuff, but that makes 7-9 as a crude first glance.

Some dangerous things about CHI is the Fox factor, the guy is a crafty veteran defensive coach who should flip the defense back to being at least respectable. Then the offense certainly has the weapons, if Cutler can just play to his potential for one solid year, this team could easily go 8-8 or maybe even grab a wild card spot.
