Here are my top Jordan Love prop bets for the Bears vs. Packers Wild Card Weekend matchup on Saturday.
Best Jordan Love Prop Bets
Jordan Love is back at full health for the postseason. Love left the Packers’ Week 16 matchup against the Bears early, then missed Week 17 and sat out Week 18 with the other Packers starters. Love should be fresh and confident heading into this matchup, however. He threw for three touchdowns in the Packers’ win over the Bears in the first matchup of the regular season. In fact, Jordan Love has gotten the best of the Bears throughout his career. He is 4-0 against the Bears in games that he plays from start to finish. He also has a 9-2 TD-INT ratio in those four games. Love should be in for another strong performance in this huge game against Chicago.
My favorite Jordan Love prop bet is for Love to throw for at least two passing touchdowns against the Bears. He is averaging over two passing touchdowns per game in his career against the Bears, including throwing for three scores in the matchup that he played in full this season. The Bears’ defense ranks 24th in defensive dropback success rate and 20th in defensive EPA/dropback. Chicago also ranks 27th in the NFL in opponent passing touchdown percentage, giving up passing touchdowns on 65% of opponent scores. Josh Jacobs has not been very efficient down the stretch, with only two rushing touchdowns over his final six games. When the Packers get into the red zone, they should allow Jordan Love to make the plays with his arm.
It has been all or nothing for Jordan Love this season. There have been a few games this season where the Packers’ offense has been completely shut down, in addition to the injuries that Love has dealt with. However, when they get into a rhythm, they look as good as any offense in the NFL. There have been 11 games this season where Love has thrown for at least one touchdown pass. In those 11 games, he has thrown for at least two scores in seven of them and for at least three scores in four of them. He can hit the explosive pass to Christian Watson or Romeo Doubs, in addition to standard red-zone scoring. Love should throw for at least two touchdowns in this massive postseason game against his division rivals.
