The Chicago Bears are back in primetime in Week 7's Monday night showdown against the New England Patriots, and I'm back with another set of Bears prop bets to help you win some money.
After going 2-1 last week, I've moved to 11-5 on the season. Let's see if we can stay positive and the Bears can get back on track in Foxboro Monday night.
Justin Fields over 207.5 passing + rushing yards (-115)
It's no secret that Justin Fields has struggled this season. He is still young, and the coaching staff must tailor the offense to his skillset. I don't expect everything to magically click this week, but I foresee another promising performance from Fields.
In Week 6, Fields showed flashes of greatness even as the Bears came up short with just seven points. Fields got to 278 rushing and passing yards last week, and I expect a similar number in New England. The Bears will likely be playing from behind, forcing Fields to stack yards.
Justin Fields longest rush over 14.5 yards (-105)
Don't look for too much information in this paragraph because it is all listed on the previous bet. Fields has shown a knack for performing under the brightest lights. His willingness to run and exceptional field vision have led to multiple electric runs over the past few weeks. This week will be more of the same.
No matter the score, Fields knows his legs are a weapon. He has a run of 15+ yards in each of the last three games, and the coaching staff has encouraged him to run when needed. Expect another strong performance in the ground game from Justin Fields.
Cole Kmet over 2.5 receptions (+135)
Sunday was National Tight End day, so we have to have a Kmet prop, right?
I know Kmet's career has been beyond disappointing so far. I don't think he is the guy long-term, but that won't stop him from catching three passes on Monday night. Kmet has three or more receptions in two of the last three games. He is a nice safety blanket for a struggling QB, and the Bears know they need to get Fields into a rhythm.
Short completions to your tight end are the best way to get your QB rolling.
Add that the Patriots' defense focuses on limiting the run game, and you have the perfect equation for a Cole Kmet breakout game. The Bears will throw the ball this w
