Broncos Vs. Bears Odds: Denver, Chicago In A Push, Essentially

Peyton Manning, if fully healthy, should be able to lead the Denver Broncos to a healthy offensive output this fall. We won't fully know that until September, but the oddsmakers do see a pretty close game between the Broncos and the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

According to Odds Shark, Chicago is favored by 2.5 points and the over/under has been placed at 34 points. The line has stayed steady throughout the week for the most part (two places have moved it to a straight three points), but when it comes to a contest between backups on both teams, these numbers might prove foolish.

Essentially, this game is a push since a field goal is the favored point differential. For all we know, Brock Osweiler might look like a pass-throwing god against the Bears' backups (but don't hold me to that!).
