Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears Player Prop Picks
It looks like both QB Aaron Rodgers and QB Justin Fields will play Sunday. While both players statuses were up in the air after recent injuries, the Bears have announced Fields will play while Packers HC Matt LaFleur said he expects Rodgers to start. The two starters playing will benefit the offenses this week, so let’s predict how four of the key offensive players will perform in this matchup.
Chase Claypool Over/Under 33.5 Receiving Yards
I anticipate Claypool will be held under 34 yards versus the Packers. Though Claypool had his highest receiving total with the Bears last week reaching 51 yards, he has failed to go over 13 receiving yards or more than two receptions when Fields is the starter. Claypool has also hit the receiving yards under in 13 of his last 17 games, so sticking with the under remains the safest bet. The Packers additionally have the 4th best passing defense in the league while the Bears have the #1 rushing offense, so the Bears would be smart to focus on the ground game which will in turn limit Claypool’s production.
Christian Watson Over/Under 47.5 Receiving Yards
WR Christian Watson is the latest rookie receiver to break out this year. He has gone over 100 yards twice in the past three weeks and established himself as a top target for QB Aaron Rodgers. Not only did he hit the 100 yard mark in these two games, but did so against the top 2 passing defenses in the league and on a Packers offense with few other weapons to take attention away from him. I expect Watson to get at least 48 receiving yards no problem, which he has done each of the past three weeks. With Rodgers likely to play, this will only improve Watson’s potential output on Sunday.
Justin Fields Over/Under 65.5 Rushing Yards
I’m for sure taking the over for Fields to surpass 66 rushing yards this Sunday. Though the Bears could limit Fields rushes since he’s returning from an injury, this would not be wise as his legs drive this offense. Fields has over 80 rushing yards in 5 out of his last 6 games so this total is certainly within his usual reach. Fields also has the advantage of going up against the Packers 2nd worst run defense in the league. The Packers give up an average of 154.8 rushing yards per game and just gave up 363 rushing yards to the Eagles this last week. This included Eagles QB Jalen Hurts going for 157 yards on the ground, so watch out for Fields to do the same this Sunday.
Aaron Jones Over/Under 58.5 Rushing Yards
This was the toughest of the prop bets to predict, but I’ll bet on Aaron Jones to hit the over for rushing yards in Chicago. Though he has ran for less than 45 yards in both of the past two games, he also went up against two of the better teams and defenses in the league. The Bears are not that. The Bears have the 6th worst rushing defense in the league and even gave up 132 yards on the ground to Jones earlier this season when their defense was playing better and hadn’t traded away two of their top defensive linemen. Look for Jones to get at 59 rushing yards this week.
