The Chiefs are entering this game with a 1-1 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-1 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-9. Patrick Mahomes was the starting QB and he completed 29/41 passes for 305 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Isiah Pacheco led the team in rushing yards with 70. Skyy Moore led the receivers with 70 receiving yards on 3 receptions and 1 TD. L'Jarius Sneed led the defense in that game with 6 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackle while George Karlaftis and Chris Jones each led the defense in sacks with 1.5. No one on the defense came away with an interception in that game.

The current betting odds have the Bears listed as a 12.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bears are 0-2 this season and have looked terrible in their 2 games. Their defense is bad and their offense still needs a lot of work but they do have some weapons to use and will be looking for a much closer game now that they have 2 under their belt. The Chiefs are 1-1 this season but they haven't looked that great in their games either. They lost at home to the Lions in a game where their offense had many problems and they struggled on offense again in their win last week as they only scored 17 points in the game. They also have a lot of their weapons on offense, mainly the receiving game, banged up for this one so this offense is already taking another big hit when it hasn't really looked that great. The Bears aren't good enough to go into Kansas City and win this game but the Chiefs offense is not going to roll right over them with the way they have been playing and the Bears can definitely keep this close enough to cover. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bears to cover the spread in this game. 

Bears Chiefs Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, September 24, 2023 (4:25 pm ET start time) is Chiefs 24 Bears 16.
