The last week of the NFL Preseason is upon us, and we are getting a fun match to kick things off on Thursday Night Football when the Kansas City Chiefs face the Chicago Bears.
These two teams come from opposite sides in their preseason, as the Chiefs have lost all their encounters while taking things lightly. Meanwhile, the Bears, who have won all their matches, including the Hall of Fame clash from the first week, have been going hard as they figure out their roster.
We still believe that things will be contested, as Kansas City now has a perfect warm-up game before they kick the season off, and, there is a chance that they will take this last clash seriously.
| Chiefs 1.56 | Bears 2.5 |
| When? | Thursday, August 22nd at 8:20 pm ET, 7:20 pm CST, 6:20 pm MT, and 5:20 pm PT |
| Where? | Arrowhead Stadium |
| Where can I watch it? | CBS, ESPN, NFL Network and Fox Sports |
Why Bet on the Chiefs?
Patrick Mahomes put on a show in Week 2, tossing a touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy and making several highlight reel plays. That said, we doubt we see any starters or key backups playing in this matchup.
Kansas City has averaged about 270 yards of total offense in each game this preseason, and it might be hard to get behind the likes of Ian Book or Chris Oladokun to play winning football.
The Chiefs hope to conclude the preseason with one win, again considered prime Super Bowl contenders after securing another championship last season. Still, they have taken the preseason lightly and can’tbe blamedfor it.
Why Bet on the Bears?
The man compared to a young Patrick Mahomes – Caleb Williams looked every bit an NFL quarterback while leading the Bears offense to two scoring drives last week. Williams played the entire first half, so you’d have to think the Bears remain cautious with the future of their franchise in Week 3.
However, Chicago’s defense was the real star of the show. Da Bears’ suffocating unit has now gone nine quarters without allowing a touchdown. They forced three turnovers against the Bengals last week and look ready for the regular season to start.
They played great defense in the preseason opener at the Hall of Game, and it continued in a dominating 33-6 win against the Bills in the second preseason bout, so they seem ready for this last dance.
Final Betting Analysis: Chiefs vs. Bears Preview
Both teams will want to remain cautious with the regular season on the horizon.
However, the Chicago Bears are dazzling this preseason, winning all three games including dominating wins against the Bills and Bengals. They have the advantage of getting into a groove considering they have played in one extra game in the Hall of Fame match. Bears coach Matt Eberflus is now 6-2 in his last eight preseason games.
For us, it seems that Chicago’s winning streak may continue, although the Chiefs could put up a good fight. Given both teams’ offensive capabilities, we expect a fun and contested clash with total points going high.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.5. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $150 for a total payout of $250.
