Bears at Chiefs picks and predictions
Prediction
Bears 24, Chiefs 16
Moneyline
PASS.
There is better value on the Bears spread.
Against the spread
BET BEARS -1 (-110).
The Bears have scored 21 or more points in each of their 3 preseason games while allowing 9 points total in their last 2. They have found a rhythm on offense between Willams and Bagent, while their defense has performed at high levels. While the Chiefs also have a deep QB room, they will not be able to keep up with Chicago.
Over/Under
BET OVER 32.5 (-110).
While Chicago’s defense has allowed just 26 points total in its 3 games, the offense has scored 27 points or more in each of the last 2 games. Kansas City has allowed 24 or more points in both of its games while scoring 13 or more in both. With a line as low as 32.5, the Over is the best wager.
