Week 2 NFL Free Pick Article
By Adam Barone—The Bears should have an easy
time covering the 12.5 points they’re favored by against the Chiefs
this weekend at Soldier Field.
Both teams are 0-1 coming in, both putting a sad “3” spot
on the score board last weekend.
The Bears shut down L.T. in San Diego, allowing
just 25 yards on 17 carries. The Chargers broke through the fantastic
Bears’ defense toward the end of the game and easily outscored
Chicago’s single field goal. Philip Rivers had mild success throwing
against Chicago, completing 22 of 31 passes for 190 yards.
Kansas City played in Houston as Matt Schaub made his first start at
quarterback for the Texans.
Schaub tore through the Chiefs’ pass defense, accumulating 225 yards on only 22 pass attempts.
Chiefs RB Larry Johnson had only 10 carries for
a disappointing 43 yards. Those low totals suggest that he’s not
at full strength after missing the entire pre-season. The Chiefs’
performed unimpressively, letting Texans’ WR Andre Johnson torch
them for 142 yards receiving.
Expect more of the same from both teams, as the Bears will come out
fired up and ready to go in their home opener. The Chiefs’ offensive
line won’t be able to handle Tommie Harris and the rest of the
Bears’ D, which will likely result in turnovers.
After their slow performance last week in San Diego,
including a terrible rushing attack, it’s tough to see the Bears
finding a way to score enough points to win by 13, even against a much
softer D. Both teams should have trouble establishing a running game.
Neither team will have an easy road to the end zone, simply because
they’ll beat themselves with mistakes. This will make for some
sloppy football. Take a look at the under in this game as well.
