Your open thread for Sunday Night Football
This week Sunday Night Football is a showdown between to of the most highly-touted young quarterbacks in the NFL. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will travel to take on C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in Houston.
Both teams are 1-0 after Week 1, but the odds are firmly in the Texans favor as they enter the game 5.5-point favorites at home per FanDuel Sportsbook. Stroud has emerged as one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL, with his arm strength, quick release, and precision placement lifting the Texans’ offense and elevating the players around him.
The Bears have a lot of upside on defense, but their offense is still finding its way behind 1st overall pick Caleb Williams.
Chris’ pick: I have to go with Vegas here and go for the Texans. Chicago has positioned itself well for a rebuild, but this is only Game 2, while the Texans are in the second year and expect to be competing for the playoffs.
