This is a battle of two unsuspecting division leaders in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The Steelers visit the Bears for this non-conference matchup.
Pittsburgh is 6-4 following a win against the Bengals in Week 11, while Chicago is on a three-game win streak, have won seven of its last eight, and is 7-3 overall.
Chicago is a 2.5-point favorite and -148 on the moneyline, while Pittsburgh is +124 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 45.5 points.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 12 NFL game between the Bears and Steelers.
Bears vs. Steelers Best Prop Bets
DJ Moore over 34.5 receiving yards (-115)
While Rome Odunze has taken over as the Bears’ top receiver, DJ Moore is still a great player. He makes for a nice pairing with Odunze for a Bears’ offense that’s developing in front of our eyes.
Moore has had back-to-back poor performances, but he recorded over 34.5 receiving yards in five straight and seven of eight games before that. He has a favorable matchup this week and may benefit from being the No. 2 receiver going forward.
His 34.5 receiving yards total is a low mark, especially against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is allowing the most passing yards and most pass attempts to opposing teams this season. Caleb Williams should carve up the defense to maintain Chicago’s win streak. Moore should be a major factor in the victory.
Darnell Washington over 20.5 receiving yards (-116)
The Steelers are utliizing three tight ends in their offense this year. It’s a bit unconventional since some teams don’t even have one quality tight end, let alone three.
Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith have shared pass-catching duties through the 2025 season. It’s mostly been split equal, but Washington had the edge in Week 11 once Mason Rudolph entered the game.
Washington caught four of five targets for a season-high 67 yards. Rudolph favored the third-year tight end over the two veterans, which could be the scenario again in Week 12. Aaron Rodgers is entering the week with a questionable tag, so it’s possible Rudolph gets his first start of the season. If that happens, Washington will be in line for another strong performance.
If Rodgers starts and plays the whole game, Washington’s role likely decreases. However, he did catch four of six targets for 43 yards with Rodgers under center against the Colts in Week 9. That’s two good performances in the past three games for the young tight end.
