Chicago Bears vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction

I’m on the Bears here. I just like what I’ve seen from Chicago in the preseason and while we aren’t completely sure of who we will see in the preseason finale. I think the Bears will be a lot more open to getting starters and key backups more playing time, while the Chiefs just need to focus on getting their key guys into week 1 healthy, so I doubt we’re seeing much of Mahomes, Kittle and others here. I am impressed with what Chicago’s brought to the table so far and I think they get it done here. Give me Chicago.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Chicago +1.5
