NFL Pro Hall of Fame Game Betting Pick: Over 32.0 Points

• The 2024 Pro Hall of Fame Game features the Chicago Bears as 1.5-point favorites against the Houston Texans.
• The total is set at 32.0 points, with -110 odds for both the over and under.
• A 32.0-point total went over in consecutive Hall of Fame games and hit in four of the last six games.

CANTON, Ohio – The long wait for the NFL to return ends on Thursday when the preseason kicks off with the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. After more than 170 days since the Super Bowl, fans can bet on the NFL again with the Chicago Bears as 1.5-point favorites against the Houston Texans.

Before getting into the odds, it’s worth noting why the Bears and Texans headline this year’s Hall of Fame Game. NFL legends like Devin Hester, Julius Peppers, and Steve McMichael will be inducted into the Pro Hall of Fame for the Bears, with Andre Johnson representing the Houston Texans.

NFL Pro Hall of Fame Game Betting Odds

Thursday’s ceremony will focus on the players of the past, but betting on the game puts all focus towards the present players who one day hope to get enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Two exciting young quarterbacks likely won’t play for more than one series, but there’s enough firepower from the backups for the 32.0-point legal sports betting total to go over.

Hall of Fame Game Betting Odds

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Houston Texans	+1.5 (-110)	+105	O32.0 (-110)
Chicago Bears	-1.5 (-110)	-125	U32.0 (-110)

The Texans likely won’t roll out their Rookie of the Year winning quarterback C.J. Stroud for more than one drive (if at all), so most of the load will be on Davis Mills and Case Keenum. Mills is still just 25 years old and has some upside after starting 29 games, while Keenum has plenty of experience as a veteran to put up points.

As for the Bears, 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams will be the starter in the regular season but will likely get some live reps in the Hall of Fame Game. After Williams, Tyson Bagent and Brett Rypien will handle most of the snaps.

These two quarterback rooms have what it takes to go over the 32.0-point total at Texas sports betting sites on Thursday night. Besides, rooting for the over is more entertaining than rooting for the under.
