Rejuvenated following their first win of the season this past weekend, the Chicago Bears (1-2) travel to Las Vegas for a game Sunday afternoon against the Raiders (1-2).
Bears’ Nation is cautiously optimistic following Caleb Williams’ breakout performance against the Cowboys last weekend. Yes, the Dallas defense is at best, porous. However, Williams took advantage of that unit unlike any previous game during his young career. The obvious hope among Bears’ personnel and fans alike is that the young quarterback will be special again this weekend in Sin City.
After a win in their opener in New England (20-13), the Raiders have been handled with relative ease the last couple of weeks. The Chargers (20-9) and the Commanders (41-24) rolled Geno Smith and the Raiders. There was optimism when Pete Carroll was hired. Three games into the 2025 season, fans and NFL executives are wondering if anything has really changed with this organization.
Each club takes an important step towards determining their fate for the season this Sunday. Lets dive into the matchup and see if we can find an angle or two to play.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Las Vegas Raiders -1 (-102)
The Bears and Raiders are very similar teams with respect to strengths and weaknesses however the explosive passing attack is more likely to do damage to the injured Bears secondary than the other way around. Hoping the Raiders’ pass rush can bring out the worst in Caleb Williams as the Raiders cover the small spread.
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports): Bears +1.5
Caleb Williams wasn’t sacked once last week, and it resulted in four touchdown passes and a blowout win over Dallas. The Raiders have played Weeks 1 and 3 on the East Coast and Week 2 on the West Coast at home. They are going back to the West Coast for a home game and since the conference realignment in 2003 -- Las Vegas has the worst ATS mark when traveling from ET to PT. Chicago has Las Vegas, Washington, and New Orleans over the next three games, so I think Ben Johnson will have this team ramped up to make a run.
