The Tennessee Titans (0-0) will visit the Chicago Bears (0-0) at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday afternoon.

Opening the week, the Titans were listed as 4.5-point road underdogs but that line has improved slightly with Chicago now at -3.5.

Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 1 matchup:
