Preview and Odds
After a disappointing 6-11 season in 2023, the Tennessee Titans enter the new year with a new roster, without their star player, Derrick Henry. They now have a lot of young talent on their roster, but their chances of success this season are still in doubt. The same is true for their rivals, the Chicago Bears, who are counting on their rookies to start on September 8.
Tough spots for the Tennessee Titans
The Titans had a disastrous season last year, and their prospects for 2024 are not looking good either. The loss of Derrick Henry is a major blow to their offense. There are no players on the current roster who can match his skill level, and while quarterback Will Lewis has been good, he’s hardly an elite player.
Tennessee’s passing game is also a concern, with none of its receivers standing out from the competition. On the bright side, the team’s defense looked solid last season, ranking 15th in points allowed, and they’re expected to maintain that level in 2024.
Chicago Bears Looking to Start the Season with a Win
Chicago Bears fans have been waiting for a reason to cheer for a long time, and they finally have hope in 2024. One of the key parts of the upcoming season will be the work of their revamped offense, which will feature rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Chicago also bolstered their offense by adding Rome Odunze, a talented receiver who promises to be a big part of the team. With veteran receiver Keenan Allen joining the Bears in the offseason, Chicago’s offense looks impressive.
The Bears also bolstered their ground game by signing D’Andre Swift, who spent last season in Philadelphia and was named to his first Pro Bowl.
Tennessee Titans vs. Chicago Bears Prediction
The Chicago Bears look significantly stronger than their Tennessee rivals in 2024. We expect Chicago to start the season with a win, possibly with a solid spread. The game will be played on their home field, which gives them confidence and motivation to start the season successfully.
