Colts vs Bears NFL Preseason Betting predictions

The total for this game keeps rising as Colts QB Anthony Richardson gets his first start since officially being named the starter. Meanwhile, Bears QB Justin Fields is also expected to play some.

Regardless, I like the under 40.5 points.

Betting on NFL - Colts vs Bears: Under 40.5 (-110)

While I think the Colts vs Bears are set to play key starters on offense, both teams have plenty to iron out when it comes to moving the football effectively. On one hand, Richardson, named the Colts No. 1 QB earlier this week, threw a pick on his first NFL drive last week, and looked quite uncomfortable doing it. As a result, he's likely to see the field a lot, and that's a good thing for under bettors because I'm not sure the Florida alum is better than backup QBs Gardner Minshew or Sam Ehlinger at this point.
