Bears Try to Bounce Back After Rough Cincinnati Loss

Chicago opened the preseason impressively with a 34-10 victory over Cleveland, but the Bears couldn't carry that performance into their second game. Cincinnati controlled Chicago 27-9, leaving the Bears at 1-1 heading into their final exhibition contest.

The quarterback rotation will be important in Nashville. Chicago has also been dealing with several injuries as roster decisions approach, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

Chicago's first two games couldn't have been much different. The Bears scored 34 against Cleveland before managing only nine against Cincinnati. That inconsistency makes backing Chicago difficult, especially against a Tennessee team that has found ways to win both of its preseason games.

Titans Bring Perfect Preseason Record Into Finale

Tennessee is 2-0 after defeating San Francisco 19-13 in its opener and Seattle 19-16 last weekend. The Titans trailed Seattle 16-3 early but rallied while shutting out the Seahawks over the final three quarters.

There are still legitimate concerns. Tennessee's starting defense struggled early against Seattle, surrendering touchdowns on the Seahawks' first two drives. The Titans also enter the finale with several injury situations to monitor as they prepare to trim the roster.

Still, Tennessee has demonstrated an ability to grind through preseason games and finish strongly. The Titans have allowed just 29 combined points through two contests, and playing the finale at home provides another small advantage.

Chicago Bears vs Tennessee Titans Picks and Prediction

Pick: Tennessee Titans -3

Tennessee -3 is the side pick. The Titans are 2-0 and have shown an ability to win close preseason games, including their comeback against Seattle. Chicago's 34-point opener was encouraging, but the offense fell sharply against Cincinnati, while Tennessee has held both opponents below 20 points. With the Titans playing at home and displaying the more consistent preseason form, take the Tennessee Titans -3.

Pick: Under 36.5

The under is the total pick. Tennessee's first two games produced 32 and 35 combined points, while Chicago is coming off a game that finished with only 36. The Titans have scored exactly 19 points in each preseason contest, and Chicago's offense generated only nine last time out. With the later stages likely dominated by reserves fighting for roster positions, take Under 36.5.

Projected Score: Tennessee Titans 20, Chicago Bears 13.
