Thursday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET as the Chicago Bears (-3.5)
host the Carolina Panthers (+3.5) at Soldier Field. Da Bears are 3.5-point favorites, according to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook, and the total is set at 38 points.
The biggest smallest thing I’ll be watching for tonight is Bryce Young.
Carolina selected the former Bama star first overall despite his generously listed 5’ 10”, 200-pound frame. Young became the first Crimson Tide quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy back in 2021, but his height-weight combo is near-unprecedented at the pro level.
