Chiefs vs Bears Prediction
It feels like the Chiefs are getting love because of the name, they’re at home, and you can do worse than a combination of Gardner Minshew and Bailey Zappe. However, the Chiefs are a team that knows who they are, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence they’ve lost five straight preseason games. Usually, the best teams in the league don’t fair well in exhibitions.
Good teams coach these games differently. The Bears have had success in the preseason dating back to last year, and there’s more competition on this roster in terms of open playing time. I’ll take a stab with the Bears and the points.
