NFL Betting Picks in Summary

• Under 36.5

Chicago and Cincinnati meet Saturday night, and the Bengals appear to be turning the page from last week's Deshaun Watson storyline entirely.

Depth Chart Notes

Cincinnati: Joe Flacco has the only live market on this board — a real shift from last week, when Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins all had confirmed props in Burrow's return from injury. That points to a much deeper rotation this time out.

Chicago: No Bears player has a posted prop for this game, suggesting a similarly backup-driven approach on the other side.

NFL Predictions and Picks for Preseason Week 2

Chicago Bears at Cincinnati Bengals (Sat, 7 p.m. ET)

Bears -2.5 (-114)

With Cincinnati stepping well down its depth chart to Flacco and Chicago showing no confirmed skill-position markets of its own, this comes down to overall roster depth — and the market's short favorite here reflects that fairly evenly.

Joe Flacco 20+ Passing Yards (+172)

Flacco is a genuine NFL veteran with a Super Bowl MVP on his résumé, and even in a clear reserve role, a plus-money price on a modest 20-yard floor looks fair for a passer of his experience.

Under 36.5 (-110)

With Cincinnati's top three offensive weapons from last week absent and Chicago showing no confirmed markets of its own, this looks like a much quieter, backup-heavy game than what these two rosters produced a week ago.
