Why Bet on the Chicago Bears?

The Chicago Bears are coming off a 41-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It’s been a roller coaster of a ride for Matt Nagy and his squad in the preseason, but after seeing them finish second in the NFC North with an 8-8 record, we look forward to watching the team grow and how they fare in the 2021 NFL season. Going back to their previous game, the Bears were able to put down 298 yards, almost 50 less than their opponents.

Andy Dalton did most of the damage, finishing the night with 146 yards on 11-of-17 passing, including an interception and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Justin Fields led the Bears with 46 rushing yards on four carries while Rodney Adams and Jesse James combined for 143 receiving yards and a touchdown.

On the other side of the ball, we witnessed a productive Marqui Christian on the field, documenting six tackles (5 solo). He’s closely followed by Trevis Gipson who finished with five tackles. Despite an underwhelming night, the Bears are eager to recover from this loss and it will be interesting to see what adjustments they make defensively.

Why Bet on the Tennessee Titans?

Meanwhile, the Titans are enjoying two preseason wins at the expense of the Falcons and Buccaneers. In their recent victory the team produced a total of 238 yards. Although the Bucs were right behind them with 207 yards, they were the better team offensively and defensively, taking advantage of every scoring opportunity coming their way.

Matt Barkley played a pivotal role in the game, finishing with 115 yards on 12-of-16 passing. On top of that, the 30-year-old quarterback recorded 2 touchdowns in the game, while fellow QB Logan Woodside had a touchdown to himself. Additionally, Mekhi Sargent spearheaded the team with 78 rushing yards on 16 carries and the duo of Mason Kinsey and Dez Fitzpatrick combined for a total of 86 yards and two touchdowns.

Previewing the defense, Elijah Molden was the centerpiece of the team with eight tackles. David Long Jr. had one sack and Jamal Carter logged an interception. The Titans held both of their preseason opponents to three points each, which tells us the level of caliber of these players.

Bears vs. Titans Expert Betting Predictions

There are several reasons to back the Bears in this game, and one of which highlights Fields with a broader role. The rookie quarterback brings plenty of attacking threat to the team, and he’s done well against top NFL defenders. However, the Titans’ defense has been exceptional since Week 1 started.

Although they come in as underdogs of the game, there’s reason to believe that they can cover the spread and even take the win if the Bears start to show some slack. Ultimately, we are in for another action-packed this weekend with the Bears vs. Titans game coming up.
