The preseason homestretch between the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs wo n’t feature numerous if any — starters Thursday night and there have been big moves in the request ahead of this contest.

The Bears have impressed with three straight preseason wins while outscoring their opponents 81- 26. Head trainer Matt Eberflus is now 7- 2 straight over and against the spread in exhibition action.

With Chicago’s strong defense and the Under hitting in 26 of the first 33 preseason games this time, the aggregate for this game has dropped vastly, important to the delight of our Bears vs. Chiefs prognostications and NFL picks below.

My analysis
This total opened at 36 at Pinnacle, but action on the Under has turned this number into a buying occasion on the Over. The Chicago Bears have equaled 27 points per game this preseason and the Kansas City Chiefs have also put points on the board( 18 ppg).

Neither platoon is anticipated to play starters and the Bears have a healthy competition for the backup quarterback job with Tyson Bagent and Brett Rypien both playing well this preseason. They’ve connected for 73.7 and 71.4 completion probabilities, independently, while raising it out for 7.9 and 10.9 yards per attempt.

Provisory quarterbacks Chris Oladokun and Ian Book should see the bulk of the action for the Chiefs on Thursday, and they’ve also been effective. Oladokun has impressed with a 76.5 competition chance to go on with 10.8 Y/ A. Meanwhile, Book has been a checkdown nut with separate marks of 76.9 and 4.8.

I’m anticipating both offenses to be effective enough to clear this dropped total following the overreaction to the Under trend this preseason and the starters for both brigades being each but officially ruled out.
