It’s all on the line for these Rams veterans against the Bears. For some players, it may be their last chance to make a run for the Lombardi trophy. Who knows what departures the future may hold? Davante Adams, the active NFL leader in touchdown catches, will have plenty to say in this game before it’s over.
The Rams are 4.5-point favorites for tonight’s matchup on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the point total set to 48.5. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Adams.

Davante Adams 2+ Touchdowns Scored (+475)
OK, hear me out. Because this one is a bit risky.
This Bears defense is not good, especially for a playoff team. They rank 21st in total EPA on the season. Chicago is 17th in EPA per play against the pass and 24th against the run. Competent offenses have been able to carve them up all season long. They’ve been saved by their incredible ability to force turnovers, generating 33 such mistakes on the year. But offenses still find ways to score, especially through the air.
Here is a list of the teams that allowed more passing touchdowns than the Bears: the New York Jets, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s not exactly an inspiring list. The Rams and Bears have both found themselves in shootouts many times this year. Red zone trips won’t be hard to come by. And these Rams sure know how to capitalize: throw it Adams’ way.
Matthew Stafford is going to trust his veterans to get it done. No receiver can claim to be better in the red zone than Adams, a three-time league leader in receiving touchdowns. If there’s any game where Adams can record multiple scores, something he did four times during the regular season, this is the one. I’m backing Adams to reel in a pair of touchdowns against this butter-soft Bears defense.
