Chicago at Denver

This is a great spot for an angry Denver team that got embarrassed last week, losing 42-28 at home to Minnesota. This is their final preseason home game and they face a rebuilding Chicago squad. The Bears have a new head coach in Matt Nagy taking over a franchise that has suffered four straight seasons of double-digit losses and last-place finishes in the NFC North. The reason hasn't been coaching but a lack of talent and depth everywhere. The offensive line has little talent and QB Mitch Trubisky was weak as a rookie (7 TD passes, 7 interceptions). Last week they lost at Cincinnati as the offense had no TD passes, three turnovers, and was 5-of-13 on third down. And the defense was shredded, allowing 303 yards passing, 144 yards rushing (5.1 yards per carry). It was also their second game, losing the Hall of Fame Game to the Ravens, 17-16. So the offense has four interceptions in two games and is 11-of-30 on third down. The Bears play their third straight road game against the embarrassed Broncos. Denver head coach Vance Joseph is still feeling the heat after a lousy 2017 campaign (5-11), his first with the team, and could use a good showing in front of the home fans. They were booed by the home crowd in Week 1. Denver is still 4-1 SU/ATS in preseason under coach Joseph, including a 24-17 win at Chicago last season. That same preseason they won both their home games by a 50-19 count. Play Denver.
