Best Bucky Irving Bet for Buccaneers at Bears on Sunday 11/8/26

The Buccaneers are visiting the Bears for Week 9’s edition of Sunday Night Football. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Chicago is favored by six points, and the game total is O/U 47.5 points.

Let’s dive into the top Bucky Irving prop bet for Sunday’s matchup.



Best Bucky Irving Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Bucky Irving O 64.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Irving has been on a tear, rushing for over 100 yards in three of his last four, most recently with a career-high 170 rushing yards last week vs. the Falcons. This season, he has 16 rushes of 10+ yards, and he has forced 34 missed tackles, both of which rank top-10 among all backs.

With Irving at the helm, the Buccaneers lead the NFL in rush rate (48.3%). Irving is handling a huge role, averaging 18.4 carries per game on a 62.7% snap rate. While the Buccaneers may be forced to pass the ball more than are used to as a six-point underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook for this Sunday Night Football matchup vs. the Bears, Irving seeing anything less than 15 carries would be surprising.

The back should continue to be Tampa Bay’s main weapon, and Irving should exceed 64.5 rushing yards in this solid spot –– Chicago is allowing the 11th-most yards per rush this season (4.4).
