2024 NFL Week 2 betting - Bears-Texans odds, picks, lines - ESPN

«Sunday Night Football» features the reigning offensive rookie of the year against this season's favorite when C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans host Caleb Williams (+165) and the Chicago Bears.

Coming off a 3-13-1 campaign, the Texans drafted Stroud No. 2 overall in 2023 and went from the AFC South basement to division champs last season. The Bears, coming off a 7-10 season in which they tied with Minnesota for the worst mark in the NFC North, are hoping for a similar turnaround under their first-year quarterback.

The Texans (-320 to make the playoffs) squeaked past the Indianapolis Colts last week and are nearly a touchdown favorite in Week 2 against the Bears (+115 to make the playoffs), a squad that rode its defense and special teams to a victory over the Tennessee Titans last Sunday.
