The Chicago Bears (5-1) visit the Los Angeles Rams (4-2) in an NFC matchup on Monday Night Football in Week 7. To prepare you for that game, here are the five best team and player prop bet predictions to consider for the Week 7 matchup between the Bears and Rams.
5 Bears at Rams prop bet predictions for Week 7
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:50 a.m. ET.
Rams RB Darrell Henderson Jr. OVER 54.5 rushing yards (-115)
Over the last five weeks, second-year running back Henderson has emerged as the team’s workhorse back. In those five games, he’s averaged close to 90 total yards per game with 68.4 on the ground.
While Chicago has one of the best run defenses in the NFL, the Rams can find ways to move the ball on the ground better than most. Look for Henderson to hit a few big runs in this game and to easily exceed the 54.5 rushing yard total.
Bears TE Jimmy Graham OVER 28.5 receiving yards (-115)
Since QB Mitchell Trubisky was benched, Graham has started to perform better for the Bears. He has exceeded 32 receiving yards in four straight games and has scored three touchdowns. While he is no longer the dynamic tight end we saw in New Orleans or Seattle, he is a reliable option in the middle of the field and in the red zone for QB Nick Foles.
He should see at least five targets in this game and should easily hit the Over 28.5 receiving yards set for him.

Rams WR Robert Woods OVER 57.5 receiving yards (-115)
Woods has become the Rams’ No. 1 receiver this season, but his usage has been inconsistent, at best. He has three games with at least 70 receiving yards, but also three games under 37 yards.
Look for QB Jared Goff to target his top receiver close to 10 times in this contest as the two will need to create explosive plays down the field in order to move the ball against this Chicago defense. Take the Over on receiving yards for Woods as he should approach 70-80 yards in this contest.
Bears QB Nick Foles UNDER 36.5 passing attempts (-125)
The Bears have a specific way they want to win games; they want to run the ball and play solid defense. While head coach Matt Nagy has been a little too pass-happy in the past, look for him to establish the run Monday night and limit the number of passing attempts for Foles.
They will certainly take their shots down the field to players like Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, but don’t expect Foles to be throwing 40 times in this contest. Take the under 36.5 passing attempts for Foles.
Bears TE Jimmy Graham to score and Bears to win (+550)
The Bears are 6-point underdogs in Week 7, but they have one of the strongest defenses in the league and have had success again Rams head coach Sean McVay’s offense. If you believe they have a chance to win this game, consider parlaying that with Graham to score a touchdown at +550.
We have seen Foles target the former All-Pro tight end multiple times in the end zone as he has quickly developed into one of his favorite receivers. Considering the odds, this might be the best bet available on the board.
