The Chicago Bears won a wild one last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, which resulted in the Bears amassing over 500 yards of offense and 47 points scored. When that happens, and you are a prop better that loves to bet overs, you are going to have a good week, and that’s exactly what we had. We went 3-0 last week, which elevates are record to 16-7 on the season.
Can we stay hot this week with the Bears facing the Giants? Only one way to find out. Here are 3 props to play this week.
Kyle Monangai OVER 53.5 Rushing Yards -114
I would never
tell people how to bet. Someone always used to tell me, “Never bet the grocery money,” and I think that’s very true. Always gamble responsibly. But I can tell you, I am making the largest bet I am comfortable with on this bet. The weather could be an issue on Sunday. D’Andre Swift is dealing with a groin issue and missed practice completely on Friday due to a personal reason and is questionable to play on Sunday. Even if Swift plays, I think Monangai’s share is close to 50-50, if not more than Swift. The Giants’ run defense is one of the worst in the league, and the Bears’ run blocking has been knocking people on their heels. This feels like an over I want to slam and feel really good about it hitting.
Colston Loveland OVER 28.5 Receiving Yards -114
I think this is the week we see Colston Loveland take over as the TE1 officially on the roster. Loveland was injured earlier in the year, and Kmet saw the TE1 spot pretty exclusively. Kmet was out recently with a concussion. So it really hasn’t been since the beginning of the season that we have seen both tight ends playing when both have been healthy for the full game. Coming off Loveland’s performance vs Cincinnati, I think Ben Johnson (and Caleb Williams) look to make sure Loveland remains a key part of the offense. With the weather being an issue, I think the passing game may also keep tight ends and running backs involved in the passing attack.
Jaxson Dart to throw an interception- YES -128
The Bears’ defense looked horrendous against the Cincinnati Bengals. It didn’t look too strong against the Baltimore Ravens the week before that either, but we can be confident that Dennis Allen is going to throw some looks against a young quarterback, and he’s going to confuse them. The Bears have had an interception against every QB they’ve faced this year that’s in their first or second season. I think the Bears will have a lead against the Giants and force them to throw more than they want. I think the weather plays a factor as well, and I believe with Dennis Allen’s scheme, Dart will throw an interception.
