NFL Bet Bets: Top Tyler Higbee Prop Bet for Rams vs. Bears, NFC Divisional Round on 1/18/26

By: Cooper Albers

The NFL’s Divisional Round continues on Sunday night with an NFC matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

The Rams (12–5) advanced past the Panthers in the Wild Card round behind a three-touchdown performance from Matthew Stafford. They’ll now face the NFC North champion Bears (11–6), once again banking on a strong connection between the MVP frontrunner and his pass-catchers — including veteran tight end Tyler Higbee.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. LA enters as a 4.5-point road favorite, while Chicago sits as a +164 underdog. The game’s total is set at 48.5 points.

Ahead of the NFC Divisional Round clash, here’s my favorite Tyler Higbee prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Best Tyler Higbee Prop Bet for Rams vs. Bears

Tyler Higbee 3+ Receptions (+103)

Injuries have limited Tyler Higbee to just 13 games across the last two regular seasons, but the veteran tight end returned to the gridiron for LA’s Week 18 finale against the Cardinals. He promptly caught five of six passes for 91 yards and a touchdown.

Higbee, 33, appeared in 10 games for the Rams during the 2025 campaign, hauling in 25 receptions for 281 yards and three scores, while holding a slight edge over fellow tight end Colby Parkinson in LA’s target share. He posted six outings with at least three receptions.

The former Western Kentucky standout has appeared in 13 postseason games in his career, including a pair of Super Bowls. He showcased his postseason pedigree during the Rams’ Wild Card triumph in Charlotte, corralling two of three passes for 45 yards.

The battle-tested veteran appears well-positioned to snatch at least one more reception on Sunday night against the porous Chicago secondary. This season, the Bears allowed the 11th-most receiving yards and fifth-most receiving touchdowns in the NFL — while ranking in the league’s bottom ten in receptions allowed to opposing tight ends. 

Stafford should continue operating at an MVP level, utilizing every tool at his disposal. Count on Higbee to remain a key element of LA’s attack and haul in at least three receptions in the NFC Divisional Round.
