Bears vs Texans: Sunday Night Football tips and open thread

The Sunday Night Football game kicks off tonight at 8:20 p.m. EST when the Houston Texans host the Chicago Bears at NRG Stadium.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Texans are 6.5-point favorites with a total of 45.5 points.

As excited as I am to see first overall pick Caleb Williams in his first NFL primetime game, I think C.J. Stroud’s Texans win tonight and cover the spread. Houston currently has a significant lead in quarterback and overall roster talent.

Former NFL scout Greg Gabriel analyzed some key matchups for Windy City Gridiron.

One of the most interesting matchups will be the Texans receivers vs. the Bears secondary. The Bears secondary played a great game last week, but Houston has a stronger wide receiver corps than Tennessee. Stefon Diggs is a great route runner who gets open consistently. Nico Collins is a big, physical X, and he also has great speed. Tank Dell is probably the best slot receiver the Bears will face this season. The group as a whole is excellent, but so is the Bears secondary. I believe the winner of that matchup will be the team that wins the game.

This is now an open thread. Let us know what you think of Bears vs Texans in the comments below!
