Why bet on the Chicago Bears?
The Bears may have lost their opening two games of the preseason, but they can perhaps take some solace in the fact that they kept things close in both, losing by a combined 4 points in those games. The thing that has to be particularly worrisome for the Bears has been the number of times they have turned the ball over. Let’s forget about the Hall of Fame Game for a moment, as that is one that is usually riddled with errors. Instead, look at their Week 1 game, a 30-27 loss to the Bengals, where they had two different QB’s throw a pick, as well as a pair of fumbles, one of which resulted in a turnover. This team is not good enough to recover from those types of errors, and that has borne out in those two opening losses. We have not seen much of Mitch Trubisky at QB, so now might be the time to get him in and give him some more reps.Why bet on the Denver Broncos?
Yes, it’s only one game, but the Broncos already look as though they could be in trouble. The went out and spent a lot of money to land the services of Case Keenum, who as totally ineffective against his former team in a 42-28 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Things don’t look much better at the backup position, with Paxton Lynch struggling again and already being moved down the depth chart.
