The Chargers are 8.5-point favorites over the Bears in Week 8 of the 2023 regular season. The over/under is 46.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 46.5 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 27-24 win for the Chargers, with a combined total of 51 points. So if I were putting money behind my prediction, I’d bet the over.
As for game picks, the majority of analysts believe that the Bolts will snap their losing streak.
