Here are my top Caleb Williams prop bets for the Bears vs. Packers Wild Card Weekend matchup on Saturday.
Best Caleb Williams Prop Bets
Caleb Williams will be making his first career postseason start in a massive divisional rematch. The Bears had a remarkable first regular season under Ben Johnson, winning the NFC North ahead of the Packers and Lions. Caleb Williams has taken a big step forward from his rookie season, and this offense is one of the most dynamic in the NFL. Williams has a great array of weapons to get the ball to, including two breakout rookies, Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III. These divisional postseason games are always fascinating, as these teams have already played twice this season. The Packers won the first matchup in Green Bay, then the Bears won the second matchup in Chicago, with Caleb Williams delivering the incredible game-winning touchdown pass to DJ Moore in overtime.
The Bears have struggled on the defensive side of the ball for much of this season. The Packers have been hit with some injuries on that side of the ball, most notably to Micah Parsons. This could end up being a shootout between two great offensive head coaches with quarterbacks who can sling it. Caleb Williams struggled in the first matchup against the Packers, with a 54% completion percentage, 186 passing yards and a pick. However, he was much better in the second matchup at home. Williams should be much more confident with this game also being in Chicago.
My favorite Caleb Williams prop bet for this game is for him to go under 22.5 rushing yards. Williams is a great athlete, but he always has his eyes downfield when scrambling. More often than not, he will try to find a receiver down the field when he is scrambling out of the pocket, as opposed to running the football. Williams has only rushed for more than 22.5 yards in one of his past seven games. The Packers are also great at containing scrambling quarterbacks. Green Bay is allowing just 14.5 rushing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, the fifth-fewest in the NFL. That should lead to Williams staying under 22.5 rushing yards for this postseason matchup.
