NFLX Football Pick + Preview – 49ers vs. Bears
NFL Preseason Action with San Fran at Chicago
The third week of the NFL pre-season kicks off tonight when the (1-1) San Francisco 49ers invade the “Windy City” to take on the (0-2) Chicago Bears in a Week 3 NFL pre-season football betting clash; kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 ET.
This game will mark San Francisco’s first road game of the season, while the Bears get to play their second and final pre-season home game at Soldier Field.
San Francisco bounced back from a poor Week 1 road effort at Oakland with a dominating performance last week at home against the Green Bay Packers. The NFL betting odds closed with the 49ers a one-point home favorite with the ‘total’ set at 34.5.
The 49ers blew the football betting line away covering the one-point line with ease in the 34-6 victory, and the combined 40-points sent over bettors home happy. QB J.T. O’Sullivan looked to have separated himself in the Niners QB derby by throwing for 154 yards on 8-of-17 passing with a TD:INT ratio of 1:1. The defense also helped the team win the turnover battle by recovering three Green Bay fumbles.
Chicago lost its home opener against Kansas City costing football bettors laying the points a winning ticket. The offense didn’t look much better last week in Seattle, but the defense and special teams were phenomenal accounting for 19 of their 26 overall points. The NFL betting line closed with Chicago a three-point road favorite with the ‘total’ set at 35.
Only 14 combined points were scored at the half, but the scoring took off in the second half due to a number of big plays, and the over cashed for the second week in a row when Seattle won by a 29-26 final count in overtime. Chicago announced that Kyle Orton will be their #1 QB to start the regular season, so expect him to get a bulk of the snaps this evening.
The Bears currently sit as 4.5-point home favorites in tonight’s NFL betting affair, with the ‘total’ set at 37 over -110.
