💰 Best Bears vs. Bengals player props

⬆️ Caleb Williams player prop: Over 237.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the NFL’s worst defenses, which should create plenty of opportunities for Caleb Williams to have a big game. The Bengals have allowed a whopping 262.4 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, including a 244-yard performance to Justin Fields last week, who was coming off consecutive weeks with fewer than 50 passing yards.

Cincinnati’s defense lacks talent across the board. The defensive front ranks fourth-worst in pressure rate (15.4%) and fifth-worst in pass rush win rate (32%). The secondary leaves much to be desired and opened the year ranked 25th in PFF’s personnel rankings. New defensive coordinator Al Golden hasn’t turned things around, but he probably doesn’t have the tools required to do so.

Back Williams for Over 237.5 passing yards at FanDuel for -114 (53.3%), which will yield a $8.77 profit on a $10 bet.

⬆️ Coston Loveland player prop: Over 22.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

The Bears have been making an effort to get tight end Colston Loveland the football lately, with him logging a career-high 84.6% route participation rate last week. That turned into five targets and 38 receiving yards, well above this line, and it should continue into this week’s matchup versus the shaky Bengals defense.

Cincinnati’s defense has allowed the second-most receiving yards per game to tight ends this season, coughing up a steady 74.3 per contest. Last week, that looked like 34 yards for Mason Taylor and another 24 for backup Jeremy Ruckert. If Loveland plays the same role he did last week, he should sail Over this line with ease.

Lock Loveland in for Over 22.5 receiving yards for -114 (53.3%) at FanDuel.

6️⃣ Best Bears vs. Bengals touchdown scorer bet

🔥 Cole Kmet TD pick: anytime touchdown scorer (+380) ⭐⭐⭐

I like Loveland to go Over his receiving yardage prop, but I also like Cole Kmet to actually find the end zone, especially at the generous price of +380 (20.8%). The Bengals have given up a ton of receiving yards to tight ends, but they’ve also given up the most touchdowns to the position with 10, four more than the next-worst Dolphins, who have also played an extra game. 

While Kmet has been losing snaps to Loveland, he will still be in for two tight end sets, which the Bears should use plenty of near the goal line. Further, the injury to running back D’Andre Swift will force the Bears to change up their red-zone offense, and that should benefit a player like Kmet. Back him to find paydirt to score a $38 profit on a $10 bet.
