What to expect from the Chicago Bears
with no Caleb Williams
We have all been patiently waiting to see Caleb William's debut in the NFL, but sadly we will have to wait for at least another week, as he will not be playing in this game. The Bears are not planning to start any of their regular starters, so we can guess we will be seeing a lot of action from players further down the depth chart. Tyson Bagent, Brett Rypien, and Austin Reed are all positioned below Williams in the depth chart. Bagent will be the starting quarterback for the Bears in this game, but we should also expect to see significant playing time from Rypien and Reed. Despite the Bears' efforts to strengthen their wide receiver corps during the offseason, with the addition of Keenan Allen, none of that talent will be on display in this game. While Tory Taylor is the current starting punter, Corliss Waitman may be in contention to challenge for that role. at least we get a look at what the Bears have to offer deeper into their team.
Is it Valid for The Houston Texans
to Have Such High Expectations
We all seen and watched the media about this upcoming NFL season, its no surprise that the Texans are aiming high following their impressive performance last year and especially with the addition of some key players during the offseason. While Stefon Diggs may be perceived as dramatic daisy, his talent is undeniable. In the previous season, Diggs showed off his skills by catching 107 passes for 1,183 yards and scoring eight touchdowns. A notable matchup to keep an eye on is the competition among the running backs. Joe Mixon has secured the starting position, with Dameon Pierce as the backup, while Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Johnson are vying for the third spot on the depth chart. With Denico Autry serving a six-game suspension, the players below him in the depth chart are competing for the starting position. Davis Mills, Case Keenum, and Tim Boyle are the quarterbacks behind CJ Stroud. Can the Texans truly be a problem this upcoming season?

Hall of Fame Game Prediction
The Pick : The Bears ML
While I typically avoid backing the team the books are favoring, especially in the preseason, this is a great opportunity to rock with the Bears as the favored team in this game. we wont see them favored much this season. The outcome of this game will likely be determined by the quarterback play, and I believe Bagent will do just fine in this situation. With the Texans expected to have weaker quarterbacking, this will be the deciding factor in my opinion. I'm expecting the Bears to score at least 17 points, which should be more then enough to cover the spread. This should be a low scoring game with some rough offense on both sides but my best bet is on the Bears with the spread or money line.
