Bears vs Chiefs Prediction: Team Stats From 2021 Regular Season
Bears vs Chiefs Prediction: The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to win the NFL preseason game against the Chicago Bears as per the latest predictions.
It’s time for teams to prepare well and find the right team combination as the pre-season of the 103rd National Football League (NFL) is already underway. The Chicago Bears will kickstart their campaign by hosting the Kansas City Chiefs for the first pre-season clash on Saturday, 13 August. The game will be played at the Soldier Field Stadium in Chicago. There are already a lot of discussions going on with the turf of the stadium that is still not looking in good shape. Many players have complained of issues with footing in the past and as per reporters, the condition still doesn’t look perfect.
The Bears will look to start the new season with a lot of optimism after hiring their new general manager and head coach. The last season’s disappointing performance forced them to make some tough decisions. The transfer season has also been a good one for the Bears.
The Kansas City Chiefs seem to have opted for a path of rebuild this season. They have traded Tyreek Hill to Miami for five draft picks. Travis Kelce remains the strongest pillar in the receiving. The Chiefs might also look to reduce their dependency on Patrick Mahomes who had an average campaign last year. It will be interesting to see who will be the players getting a chance to showcase their skills in the pre-season.

Bears vs Chiefs Prediction: Recent Form
It was a forgetful campaign for the Chicago Bears in the last season of the NFL. They failed to improve their previous record of 8-8 and got eliminated from the race of the playoffs with a 6-11 finish to the regular season at the third position in the NFC north. The disappointing season led to the firing of the head coach, Nagy along with general manager Ryan Pace in January 2022.
The Kansas City Chiefs started the last season slowly but they started looking good to make their third straight Super Bowl appearance. They won the AFC West division for the sixth consecutive season with a strong 12-5 finish to the regular season. However, they failed to progress to the Conference Championship with a 24-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime.
