Chicago Bears vs. Tennessee Titans odds predictions pick betting line spread

The Chicago Bears (1-1) and Tennessee Titans (2-0) meet Saturday for the teams’ final tune-up game ahead of the regular season. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Nissan Stadium. Below, we look at the Bears vs. Titans odds and lines.

Chicago was able to secure a comeback victory over the Miami Dolphins in its preseason opener but looked lackluster in a 41-15 defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.

QB Andy Dalton played the entire first half for the Bears and finished 11-for-17 for 146 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception while rookie QB Justin Fields finished with 80 passing yards on a 9-for-19 performance and added 46 yards on 4 carries.

As the team heads into its final preseason game the Week 1 starting quarterback picture is no clearer. It seems likely Fields will take the reins sooner rather than later, but it appears the young signal-caller still needs to develop.

The Titans improved to 2-0 in the preseason on the heels of a commanding 34-3 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The win featured a hard look down the depth chart for Tennessee as the club was led by QB Matt Barkley‘s 12-for-16 performance with 115 yards and 2 TD; RB Mekhi Sargent added 78 yards on 16 carries.

The Bears, at -125 odds, have an implied 55.56% chance of winning. This can be listed as 4/5 fractional odds or 1.80 decimal odds. Chicago would need to win by 2 or more points to cover the spread and win an ATS bet.

The Titans (+100) have an implied 50.00% chance of winning at home. This is also listed as 2.00 decimal odds or 1/1 fractional odds. Tennessee would need to win outright, tie, or lose by no more than 1 point to cover the spread and win an ATS bet.

There would need to be a combined 37 points scored Saturday for an Over (-110) ticket to cash, while a combined point total of 36 or fewer points is a win for the Under (-110). Based on the odds both the Over and Under have an equal implied chance of cashing.

Bears at Titans: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Titans 27, Bears 17

Money line (?)

As disappointing and shocking as the Titans’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals was last week, it’s not an indication of what this team is. They’re far better than the Bears, who haven’t gotten much better at quarterback since switching to Nick Foles.

The Titans can control this game with their rushing attack, which is an area where the Bears have struggled this year. Take the TITANS (-304) to win outright

Against the spread (?)

The Titans are favored by 6.5 points over Chicago. It’s a fairly large spread for a team that has lost back-to-back games, but the Titans match up well with Chicago. QB Ryan Tannehill is efficient and takes care of the football, avoiding costly mistakes.

RB Derrick Henry will be the difference, however, putting together a strong performance against the Bears. Take the TITANS -6.5 (-115) to win this one by a touchdown or more.

Over/Under (?)

The Titans offense isn’t a concern here, but it’s the Bears who won’t pull their weight. The Over/Under of 47.5 is fairly high considering how poorly Chicago’s offense has played, which makes me lean more toward the Under.

Tennessee’s defense isn’t great but it’s good enough to contain the Bears offense. Take the UNDER 47.5 (-110) in this matchup, with the Titans expected to limit each team’s possessions by running the ball often.
