NFL preseason matchups feature Bears, Bengals, Browns, and Bills

The NFL preseason continues with several matchups scheduled for late August. The Chicago Bears are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET. Betting odds for the matchup show the Bengals as slight favorites with a moneyline of -111, while the Bears sit at -107. The game total is set at 40.5 points.

In another preseason matchup, the Cleveland Browns are preparing to face the Buffalo Bills at Huntington Bank Field. Browns head coach Todd Monken and Bills coach Joe Brady have reached an agreement that if starters perform as expected during joint practices, they may not participate in the game. This arrangement suggests that second- and third-string players will likely see the majority of the action. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to be among the players featured as the team continues to fine-tune its roster for the regular season.
