Yearly Prop Bet Record: 15-15
Justin Fields Under 170.5 Passing Yards -115
I LOVE THIS PROP. Through five games this season, Wentz has passed for under 170.5 yards in three games. He’s averaging 135.8 passing yards per game and the Bears receiving core is fairly weak. Fields has shown that he’s talented on his legs, but through the air has been a bit of a dud. That’s why I’m taking Fields under 170.5 passing yards.
Carson Wentz Over 11.5 Rushing Yards -110
In five games, Wentz has been active on his feet. He’s averaging 15.4 rushing yards per game and has four games over 11.5 rushing yards. Chicago has also allowed two players over 11.5 yards as Trey Lance rushed for 54 yards in week one and Daniel Jones had 68 in week four. With starting tackle Sam Cosmi out, Wentz won’t have as much time to throw which will lead him to run maybe a bit more than usual.
Carson Wentz Over 20.5 Completions -120
Wentz hasn’t blown the NFL out of the water stat wise, but in every game this season, he’s attempted 38 or more passes and completed an average of 26.4 passes per game. In every game, he’s completed 25 or more passes. I’m not calling it free money…but it’s free money. In addition, on Thursday nights, Wentz has a 15-2 touchdown to interception ratio and has passed for 1,443 yards. On Thursdays, he plays clean football. Hammer Wentz over 20.5 completions tonight.
Terry McLaurin Over 3.5 Catches -150
In three of the five games this season, McLaurin has caught over 3.5 passes. Chicago has also allowed six players over 3.5 catches this season through five games. I don’t have a ton of faith in the Bears cornerbacks matching up against McLaurins shifty route running. McLaurin is Wentz’s second favorite targets behind Curtis Samuel so the Bears will most likely game plan to have Eddie Jackson play overtop Samuel which’ll free up McLaurin.
