Tennessee Titans:  N/A

Chicago Bears:  N/A

The Titans finished last season with a 6-11 record overall and they were 1-5 in their division games too. They had a 5-4 record in their home games and had a 1-7 record in their road games where they will be in this game. Last season, their offense was averaging 17.9 points per game and their defense was allowing an average of 21.6 points per game. Their offense was also averaging 289 yards per game and their defense was allowing an average of 335.1 yards per game. Will Levis led the team in passing yards with 1808, Derrick Henry led the team in rushing yards with 1167, and DeAndre Hopkins led the team in receiving yards with 1057.

The Bears finished last season with a 7-10 record overall and they were 2-4 in their division games too. They had a 5-3 record in their home games and had a 2-7 record in their road games, but they will be at home in this game. Last season, their offense was averaging 21.2 points per game and their defense was allowing an average of 22.3 points per game. Their offense was also averaging 323.2 yards per game and their defense was allowing an average of 324.2 yards per game. Justin Fields led the team in passing yards with 2562, Justin Fields led the team in rushing yards with 657, and D.J. Moore led the team in receiving yards with 1364.

The current betting odds have the Bears listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bears finished last season with a 7-10 record overall, but things are going to be different this season with their new starting QB. They drafted Caleb Williams with the number 1 overall pick and they are ready to start a new era in Chicago. This was already a 7 win team last season while juggling 2 different quarterbacks, but now there will be more stability at the position with a Heisman Trophy winner, and they also improved the team a lot with their draft picks. Meanwhile, the Titans were 6-11 last season and they are also entering a new era. Will Levis will be taking over as the starting QB this season, but they also have a new head coach after letting Mike Vrabel go at the end of last year. The Titans were only 1-7 in their road games last season and even though they have some talent in their receiving corps, losing their running back Derrick Henry was also a big loss for them. Their defense wasn't great last season either since they have been trading away key defensive players over the last few years. The Titans still have some talent to work with but this is going to be a really difficult 1st game for their new head coach on the road, especially with all the hype surrounding this Bears team this season. Caleb Williams and the Bears will be looking to live up to the hype and exceed expectations in this 1st home game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bears to cover the spread in this game.

"You guys are probably familiar with looking at a duck underwater. I’m sure internally he’s incredibly excited, but he’s done a really good job of staying consistent and calm in his approach. I know Will well enough to know that he’s very excited to go play." - Brian Callahan on Will Levis coming into this new NFL season. 

“That’s the thing about having core beliefs. When you have core beliefs, you stand on those. And when things are good, you got to make sure that they’re right. When you have adversity, those are things that you stand on to make sure things are right. And you always come back to those core beliefs. Those never change.” - Matt Eberflus on his mindset coming into this season.
