Chicago Bears Prop Bets: Week 3 vs. Texans

The Chicago Bears couldn’t come out of Green Bay with a victory in Week 2, but anyone who took our prop bets may have still won some money. We went 2-1 last week, with the only loss coming via a questionable spot on Justin Fields’ fourth-quarter sneak attempt. Hopefully, we can have the same success this week paired with a Bears win.

Khalil Herbert over 21.5 rushing yards (-120)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The one thing the Bears did well last week was to run the ball. David Montgomery stole the show with 122 yards on just 15 carries, but Herbert actually outgained him per carry.

With 38 yards on just 4 carries, Herbert had no problem hitting his prop in Green Bay, and we should expect the same this Sunday. The Bears will again lean on the run game to get ahead and stay ahead. Montgomery can’t take every carry, and Herbert will fit in seamlessly whenever he needs a break.

Equanimeous St. Brown longest reception over 15.5 yards (-110)

The Bears’ passing attack has been underwhelming through two weeks, to say the least. Even with those struggles, St. Brown has managed one long reception in each of the first two games. Throughout his career, St. Brown has found success on downfield routes.

When Justin Fields has time to throw, he has done a great job putting the ball where it needs to go. These will combine for multiple opportunities for the two to connect on a long completion. Additionally, The Texans have allowed 8 receivers over two weeks to have a reception of 16+ yards. Expect Fields to look downfield, and St. Brown will be one of many benefactors.

Justin Fields anytime TD scorer (+190)

Fields’ legs may be his best weapon, and his favorite place to run is in the red zone. Fields had one rushing score against the Packers, and it arguably should have been two. Fields doesn’t have too many designed runs in the playbook, but he still found a way to average 9.5 carries through the first two weeks.

Fields’ creativity has allowed him to weasel out of numerous tough spots in his second season as a starter. Once he decides to run, his field vision and conviction consistently lead to positive yardage and points. Whether by design or off-script, Fields will find a way into the end zone on Sunday afternoon.
