Chicago at Kansas City

August 22, 2025
img8:20 PM Eastern

Buffalo didn't play its starters, but still it was an impressive performance for Chicago as it buried the Bills 38-0 on Sunday night. New head coach Ben Johnson wants to establish a winning atmosphere as the Bears held a 528-180 edge in total yards. The game stayed UNDER thanks to Buffalo's inept offensive display while Caleb Williams threw for 107 yards and a TD. Tyson Bagent went 13-for-22 for 196 yards and a TD, and third-stringer Austin Reed also made a contribution with 6 of 7 passing for 66 yards. Andy Reid, as usual, hasn't put too much stock in preseason games as Kansas City is 0-2, dropping Reid's preseason record to 46-52 straight up and 43-51-4 ATS. The Chiefs have lost their past five preseason contests, including all three in 2024. Seattle racked up 268 rushing yards while routing the Chiefs 33-16 last week. Kansas City backup QB Gardner Minshew threw for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven of nine passing. The Chiefs only totaled 156 yards of offense, including just 68 on the ground. Take the Bears on the moneyline and the UNDER.
