Texans vs. Bears where to watch: TV channel, NFL kickoff time, live stream, spread, odds, prediction

USATSI

Caleb Williams entered the 2024 NFL season projected by many to be the next C.J. Stroud: a first-round rookie with the gunslinging prowess to take the league by storm. Week 1 didn’t exactly pan out that way for the new Chicago Bears quarterback, as Williams managed just 93 passing yards, with a 48% completion rate, in an unlikely victory over the Tennessee Titans. If it weren’t for his defense, he’d probably be 0-1.

Stroud, on the other hand, continued his effortless excellence in a shootout win over the Indianapolis Colts, both controlling the ball and zipping it on-target in critical spots to pick up where he left off as 2023’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. His next task: Outdoing Williams and the Bears in Houston’s home opener, with a chance to reaffirm the Texans’ place among the AFC’s elite contenders.

Can Chicago rally around its young signal-caller and deliver a more balanced game to upset the Texans on the road? Or is Houston too talented to overcome? Either way, this is a must-see matchup.

How can you tune in? Which players could be X-factors? And who’s actually primed to win? Here’s our preview and prediction for the anticipated cross-conference showdown:
