Money Line
Passed.
The Bears spread is more valuable.
Preventing the spread
I bet on the Bears -1 (-110).
The Bears have scored at least 21 points in each of their three preseason games, but have only allowed nine points combined in their last two. They've found their rhythm offensively between Williams and Bagent and are playing at a high level defensively. The Chiefs also have a deep QB corps, but they won't be able to keep up with Chicago.
Over/Under
Bet on 32.5 (-110) or more.
Chicago's defense has allowed just 26 points total in three games, but their offense has scored 27 or more points in each of their last two games. Kansas City has allowed 24 or more points in both games, but both have scored at least 13. With the line sitting low at 32.5, the over is the best bet.
