It was 4-2-2 ATS at home.

The Titans had a similar preseason story, winning all 3 games. They scored at least 16 points in each and gave second-year QB Will Levis a good amount of drives. The Titans also beefed up their offense this season by adding RB Tony Pollard and WR Calvin Ridley. Tennessee finished last season 6-11 and were 7-9-1 ATS.

Titans at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 24, Titans 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bears (-196) are just too expensive to play here, and the Titans, without Adams, aren’t worth the upset play either. Avoid a moneyline bet in this one.

Against the spread

BET BEARS –3.5 (-118).

The Titans will be without their starting safety and don’t have a great offensive line set to protect Levis — their offensive line ranks 26th in the NFL, according to ActionNetwork.com.

Sweat has had at least 6 sacks in 3 straight seasons and should be able to hurry up Levis, who wasn’t impressive a season ago. Williams looked good in preseason and has a far higher ceiling. Expect the rookie to put on a show, and take BEARS –3.5 (-118).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-106).

While Williams should outplay Levis, neither quarterback has really proven themselves at the NFL level. Williams looked good in preseason, but that was against backup defenses. Levis had a 58.4% completion rate last season, which won’t sustain drives well.

Given both teams have an offensive line ranked in the bottom half of the NFL, the defensive lines should feast, suggesting limited lengthy drives. With that in mind, take UNDER 44.5 (-106).

The Titans finished up the preseason 3-0 after taking down the New Orleans Saints 30-27 Aug. 25. QB Will Levis went 7-of-8 passing for 118 yards in his limited time on the field. Tennessee is expected to turn things around from last season after acquiring RB Tony Pollard in the offseason.

The Bears also ended their offseason undefeated with a 4-0 record after beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-21 Aug. 22. Chicago outscored its opponents 94-30 in its final 3 preseason games. QB Caleb Williams, the 1st overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is expected to revitalize Chicago’s offense for a promising season.

Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears kick off their preseason schedules Saturday in a Soldier Field matchup at 1 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Titans vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Tennessee’s biggest offseason move was the signing of star WR DeAndre Hopkins, who will be a key addition to a barren receiving core. I expect the Titans to continue to be a team known for their phenomenal defense and star RB Derrick Henry, but Hopkins will add something on the offensive side of the ball that the Titans didn’t have last season.

Expect to see a lot of new faces on offense in this preseason game as Tennessee spent its entire draft focusing on offensive talent, headlined by 11th overall pick OL Peter Skoronski (Northwestern) and 2nd-round QB selection Will Levis (Kentucky).

Chicago’s almost complete offensive line overhaul and the big addition of star WR D.J. Moore from Carolina led to a busy offseason for the Bears. They ranked last in passing yards per game last season (130.5 YPG). With the new offensive additions, they look to change this season.

Chicago became known for its rushing ability last season, particularly that of QB Justin Fields. After ranking 1st in rushing YPG (177.3) a season ago, expect that aspect of the offense to take a bit of a hit as the team looks to focus more on passing. The Bears defense was bottom 5 in the league in terms of total yards allowed per game — 375.9 YPG to rank 29th — which is a huge concern heading into this season, especially in a very talented NFC North.

Titans at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 17, Titans 14

Moneyline

LEAN BEARS (-165).

I like the Bears to win here with their improved offense and home-field advantage. I like the advances the Bears made this offseason over those of the Titans, but at -165, the line is slightly risky. If you feel very confident in the Bears, you can place a small wager on them here.

Against the spread

BET TITANS +3.5 (-110).

With Hopkins, the Tians should have more offensive firepower and versatility than in recent years, and I trust their defense to keep them in this game.

While I like the Bears offensive additions, I still don’t trust Chicago to generate a lot of offense.

Look for the TITANS +3.5 (-110) to at least make this come down to a field-goal finish.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 37.5 (-110).

Even with the offensive improvements, I don’t trust the Titans to generate a lot of offense in this game, but I do trust their defense to get stops on the Bears.

The Chicago defense is questionable and so is its offense, especially with their recent injuries to the WR corps and interior OL.
