49ers -3 (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears have been lucky. With a tremendous turnover margin of +21 – and quarterback Caleb Williams throwing just six interceptions on 19 interceptable passes – that luck will run out. Without turnovers, Chicago’s defense ranks 28th in EPA per play.
San Francisco has looked good with Brock Purdy back. From Week 12 to now, the 49ers’ offense ranks second in EPA per play. The Bears’ offense ranks 13th in that metric over this sample. Injuries are a red flag, but give me San Francisco -3 for -112 (52.8%) at DraftKings.
Score prediction: 49ers 27, Bears 17

Kyle Juszczyk, FB, SF: anytime TD scorer (+500) ⭐⭐⭐
George Kittle is likely out, leaving the 49ers without their third-leading red-zone target. They’ll have to get creative, which is good for Juszczyk, who has three red-zone targets and one red-zone carry this year. Backup tight end Jake Tonges is good, but Juszczyk should see some opportunities, too.
Juszczyk scored his lone touchdown in a game that Kittle missed earlier this season. At friendly odds of +500 (16.7%) at DraftKings, I love the value here, especially against a defense that is so reliant on forcing turnovers to stop opposing offenses.
