It’s Week 13 and the Bears are atop the NFC North. Just last year, they were the only team in that division to not make the postseason. They’ll take on the Eagles, who are coming off a tough loss to the Cowboys.
Philadelphia is a seven-point favorite and -325 on the moneyline, while Chicago is +260 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 44.5 points.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 13 NFL game between the Bears and Eagles.
Bears vs. Eagles Best Prop Bets
Rome Odunze under 51.5 receiving yards (-110)
Since the Bears selected him ninth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, I expected Rome Odunze to be the team’s No. 1 receiver quickly. He’s taken noticeable steps in his sophomore season, but he’s not quite a superstar receiver.
Odunze isn’t immune to tough defense as shown last week against the Steelers. He caught three of his nine targets for 53 yards. The Bears still won, but it was a less-than-ideal showing from their top wideout.
This week’s matchup with the Eagles should be even more challenging. Philadelphia has a handful of great players in its secondary, making it difficult for receivers to get open. Although the team lost last week, it limited the Cowboys to 24 points. The Eagles also held CeeDee Lamb to 4-of-11 targets for 75 yards. They did, however, give up 146 yards to George Pickens.
Stopping Lamb and Pickens entirely is something few teams can do, especially with Dak Prescott playing so well. It’s a different story when trying to stop Odunze, DJ Moore and Caleb Williams. Despite the record, Chicago’s offense is not as lethal as many other playoff teams.
Philadelphia should bounce back with a win and shut down the Bears’ offense entirely.
Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown (-105)
There’s been a lot of grumblings within the Eagles’ offense this season, but one thing for certain is that Jalen Hurts will get tush-push chances each game. The Philadelphia quarterback has rushed for eight touchdowns this season, including two last week.
Even with Saquon Barkley in the backfield, Hurts is often the top choice when needing a couple yards. The tush-push is inevitable, which leads to this week’s anytime touchdown bet. Hurts is listed at -105 to score a touchdown, which is the second shortest odds behind Barkley.
The Bears rank 19th in terms of rushing touchdowns allowed, but they’re tied for seventh with three rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks. If Hurts converts this week, it would mark his third consecutive game with a rushing touchdown.
