Point Spread: 4.50 | -111.00 Titans (TEN) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Bears are being overhyped because of rookie Caleb Williams and his trio of excellent wide receivers: D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.
There is more to this matchup than just the Bears' flashy passing game. The Titans no longer have Derrick Henry. But they picked up a lot of talent in free-agency that has largely gone beneath-the-radar. This includes upgrading at cornerback with L'Jarius Snead and strengthening their wide receiver depth with Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.
Will Levis isn't drawing nearly the publicity of Williams. But he flashed in his rookie season last year and should do better this season with improved offensive line play. The Titans brought in maybe the best of the free agent centers, Lloyd Cushenberry. They have first-round picks JC Latham and Peter Skoronski, too, in their offensive line, which is now coached by legendary offensive line coach Bill Callahan.
The Bears' offensive line is far more of a question mark than the Titans. Don't get caught up in hype for the Bears. At least not yet.
