The (1-2) Chicago Bears take on the (1-2) Las Vegas Raiders in a matchup that will see one team climb to an all-important .500. It may be early in the year, but you don’t want to fall to 1-3 in the first
quarter of the season, especially in the tough divisions these two teams play in. Last year, the NFC North and the AFC West each had three teams qualify for the postseason.
GAME INFO
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. (CT) from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a dome, so the weather will not be a factor.
Bears fans always travel well, and Vivid Seats is expecting this to be a 50/50 crowd. They also have this game as the most in-demand NFL game of the week, with an average ticket selling price of $523 and a get-in price of $294.
TELEVISION
The game will air on CBS with Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta on the call, and if you live in the blue of this 506sports.com map, then you’ll get to see the game.
RADIO
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.

The last time I checked the odds from our partners at FanDuel, the oddsmakers have the Bears +1.5 points and the over/under at 47.5. Give me the Bears to win outright and the over!
