The Bears. The Texans. Tyson Bagent. Davis Mills.

Football is back.

The NFL preseason officially kicks off tonight in Canton, Ohio with the annual Hall of Fame game. While we likely won’t see a single starter tonight; we will still see helmets, a football, and grass. For now, that’s enough.

The Bears and Texans will actually be a legitimately fun matchup when they play each other in week two of the regular season. However, tonight will be a preview of next week’s Hard Knocks. No Caleb Williams, no CJ Stroud, no DJ Moore, no Stefon Diggs.

If you’re a real degenerate sicko, the Bears are currently a 1.5 point favorite with an O/U of 30.5. The corporate fat cats at FanDuel and DraftKings won’t let us be great and bet player props, but if you’re really itching, the spread and totals will have to do. I personally have faith in you cashing in, responsibly of course.

Welcome back, football (betting).
