Betting the Quarterback

Caleb Williams had a steady improvement last week and we don't need to rehash the enormous issue that is the offensive line that has been written about all week. If the Bears can run the football this week, passing lanes should start opening up for the rookie. It feels like this could be a breakout game.

DraftKings thinks he is going to continue to improve as well as the over-under is at 213.5 (almost a 50-yard improvement from last week) at -115 odds. We haven't seen enough consistency from Williams to know where he is going to fall, but I like the under for this week. I think he throws for over 200 yards, but not 215.

Results: Take Williams 213.5 yards and the under at -115.

Betting the Running Back

Josh Jacobs just rushed for 151 yards against the Colts in Week 2 only to be outdone by Joe Mixon's 159 yards rushing in Week 1. Both backs averaged over 5.2 yards per carry. D'Andre Swift just needs 60 to be in the money, and you know the Bears are going to focus on the run this week.

Results: Take Swift with 60+ yards at +110.

Betting the Receivers

Figuring out what receiver might break out this week is going to be difficult. Last week, Rome Odunze, Khalil Herbert, and Gerald Everett had two catches, DeAndre Carter had three receptions, Cole Kmet and Swift had four receptions (phenomenal work getting these guys involved, hopefully, that will continue this week), while DJ Moore had six. Keenan Allen is showing as questionable this week, but that could throw another set of hands to feed in the mix.

Though low yards, DJ Moore has been the most consistent receiver with at least five catches in both games so far. He has some connection with Williams at this point. However, the good odds for Moore still come at too high of a yardage level (70+ yards).

Results: Take 25+ yards for Kmet at +105 (better odds than the over 22.5 at -115) and the very juicy +175 for Swift at 25+ yards. Yeah, we are hoping for an improvement in Williams' game and that transferring to a pretty good game for Swift.
