Week 17’s Sunday slate concludes the Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup. Brock Purdy and company are still trailing the Seattle Seahawks for the top spot in the NFC West, and they need some help to climb out of the Wild Card.
The Bears and 49ers are two of the hottest teams in the NFL. Chicago is on a two-game winning streak and has won 11 of its last 13, while the 49ers boast a five-game winning streak. San Francisco’s offense has not punted in December.
The 49ers are 3.5-point favorites and -185 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Bears are +154 underdogs, with the game total set at 51.5 points.
There are numerous ways to get involved in the action beyond backing a side or total. This article will look at my top Brock Purdy prop bets ahead of tonight’s Week 17 Sunday Night Football matchup.
Best Brock Purdy Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Brock Purdy Over 252.5 Passing Yards (-112)
Brock Purdy deserves more praise for his play this season. While he’s battled some injuries, Purdy looks like one of the best quarterbacks in football when healthy. In seven games, Purdy has completed 68.8% of his passes for 1,737 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He is coming off back-to-back games with 295 passing yards, and has tallied over 252.5 passing yards in four of seven games overall.
This is a great matchup for Purdy, as Chicago’s defense is flawed. Although the unit leads the NFL in forced turnovers, the Bears rank 19th in points allowed and 24th in total yards conceded. They rank 28th in net yards per pass attempt, 29th in passing touchdowns conceded, and 30th in adjusted yards per target allowed.
Purdy is playing well lately, and this matchup could become a shootout considering the Bears’ solid offense and lack of defense. It’ll give Purdy an opportunity to throw for more than 252.5 passing yards for the third straight week and fifth time this season.
Brock Purdy to Record 3+ Passing Touchdowns (+175)
In addition to throwing for 295 yards in back-to-back games, Purdy scored eight touchdowns in this stretch. He’s recorded at. least one touchdown in all seven games, at least two in five games, and at least three in three games.
Chicago has allowed the fourth most passing touchdowns (28) this season. Jared Goff threw five touchdowns against the Bears earlier this year. Joe Flacco threw for four, and Jayden Daniels threw for three. The 49ers may just have the best offense in football lately, making this a dangerous spot for the Bears’ defense. San Francisco has not punted in December, and has not been held under 20 points in a game since October.
Although the 49ers don’t have a traditional No. 1 wide receiver, there are a handful of quality options on offense. From Jauan Jennings to George Kittle to Christian McCaffrey, Purdy has great players surrounding him.
