The Titans have made significant improvements to their offense, despite the loss of Derrick Henry. They added Tony Pollard at running back and Calvin Ridley at wide receiver, providing Will Levis with new weapons. While Levis's ability to lead the offense is uncertain, the upgrades give the Titans a more balanced attack, with Pollard expected to exploit a vulnerable Bears front seven.

The Titans' defense looks formidable, particularly in the secondary with the additions of L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie. This secondary could be among the league’s best, creating a tough debut for Bears' rookie QB Caleb Williams. The Titans' defensive line is also strong.

I expect the Titans to control the game through a more balanced attack. On the other side, the Bears' rookie QB will face a challenging debut against an elite Titans defense. The game is projected to be low-scoring, with the Titans’ defense playing a crucial role in limiting the Bears' offensive success. While a Will Levis led offense isn’t necessarily a scary thought, the Titan’s defense can potentially provide Levis with a short field often.

Give me the Titans plus the points.
