Week 3 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Chiefs

The Chicago Bears will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, where the Bears will look to break an 12-game losing streak.

Chicago is coming off another brutal 27-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But it’s also been quite a week for the Bears, including Alan Williams resigning as defensive coordinator, Justin Fields’ comments toward coaches and left tackle Braxton Jones landing on injured reserve.

Bill Bender – Chiefs 31, Bears 15

The other game with a 12.5-point spread. The Chiefs bounced back in Week 2, and Travis Kelce had four catches for 26 yards and a TD in his return. Kansas City averages 18.5 points per game through two weeks, but the Bears have struggled with turnovers and they are facing Patrick Mahomes II at the wrong time. Look for the Chiefs to pull away in the second half, where the Bears have been outscored 42-21 through two weeks.
