On a Thursday the blue line shouldn't have many service delays, but it might be worth checking to see if any scheduled work will lead to a delay.

As others have said, plan the round trip to take at least 2 hours. If your flight leaves ORD after 8pm I think you shouldn't have a problem with security.
