Bears vs. Chiefs, Week 3: Pick against the spread
The Chiefs got Travis Kelce back for Week 2 and it clearly made a big difference as they followed up their Week 1 loss with a 17-9 win over the Jaguars. Kelce caught four of his nine targets for 26 yards and a touchdown, putting in a decent performance on his season debut. Patrick Mahomes had a better outing than his season opener as well, throwing 29-for-41 for 305 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
The Bears are looking like they’re on their way to a terrible start to the season unless they can get back on the right track quickly. Justin Fields had a rough time in both of their first two games, as he threw 16-for-29 for just 211 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Week 2. He also suffered six sacks on the day, but he added a little bit of value with a rushing touchdown as well.
The Chiefs, now with Kelce firmly back in the lineup, shouldn’t have a whole lot of trouble with the Bears at home on Sunday. I know the spread leaves quite a big gap, but I think KC ends up with a blowout against a struggling Chicago team that’s just trying to figure out how to move forward offensively.
