The Arizona Republic: Bears 20, Titans 13

Jeremy Cluff writes: "Will Caleb Williams' NFL career start out with a victory? The NFL appears to have set up the schedule to give him a good chance. We think the Bears rookie QB will do just enough to make the most of that chance."

BetMGM: Bet the under in Bears vs Titans game

Nick Hennion writes: "History tells us it takes time to implement new offenses. Even if the Bears offense is as explosive as advertised, immediate results are difficult to foresee.Plus, an improved Tennessee secondary should limit Chicago. In the offseason, they added both L’Jarius Sneed from Kansas City and Chidobe Awuzie from Cincinnati.That corner duo should help a pass defense that ranked 30th in dropback EPA per play allowed last season. At the same time, the brand-new Tennessee offense should struggle against a good Bears defense."

Fansided: Bears 27, Titans 20

Sayre Bedinger writes: "The Titans went out and stole Calvin Ridley from the Jaguars this offseason and then added Tyler Boyd after the 2024 NFL Draft. They've got Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears leading the charge at running back after the departure of Derrick Henry. And they may have made the most underrated move of the offseason by trading for cornerback L'Jarius Sneed with the Chiefs. I don't know if any of that will be able to spoil Caleb Williams' debut, however."

Bill Speros writes: "The Bears jettisoned Justin Fields and made No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams their QB of the future. While Williams has the makings of a top-tier NFL QB, this is the sort of game in which the Bears and their fans will miss Fields. The Titans defense gets first crack at the first pick in the draft. Hope those fans in Chicago are patient."
