Bears-Jets: 6 prop bets for Sunday’s game

Feeling lucky? Try predicting these six proposition bets for Sunday’s Bears-Jets game.

The Chicago Bears (3-8) are looking to break a four-game losing streak when they travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Jets (6-4) in Week 12.

Chicago is a 4.5-point road underdog against New York, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 39.5.

With all that in mind, Bears Wire presents six proposition bets for Sunday’s Bears-Jets game.

Bears open as underdogs vs. Jets in Week 12

The Bears are underdogs for the ninth time this season ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Jets.

The Chicago Bears (3-8) will battle the New York Jets (6-4) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to break a four-game losing streak.

With the Bears coming off a 27-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (5-6) and quarterback Justin Fields nursing a left shoulder injury, oddsmakers are leaning in favor of the Jets in this Week 12 matchup.

The Bears have opened as 4.5-point road underdogs against the Jets in Week 12, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 41.

All eyes will be on the quarterback situation for both teams. For Chicago, Fields suffered a left shoulder injury that could force him to miss time. If that’s the case, it would be Trevor Siemian getting the nod. For New York, Zach Wilson’s starting job is up-in-the-air following a brutal outing in Week 11. If the Jets bench Wilson, they’d likely turn to backup Mike White.

This is the ninth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, Week 6 against the Commanders and Week 10 against the Lions.

Bears open as underdogs vs. Falcons in Week 11

The Bears are underdogs for the eighth time this season ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

The Chicago Bears (3-7) will battle the Atlanta Falcons (4-6) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to break a three-game losing streak.

With the Bears coming off a 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions (3-6) and quarterback Justin Fields’ continued dominance, oddsmakers believe this Week 11 matchup against Atlanta is a toss-up (but they believe a lot of points will be scored).

The Bears have opened as 3-point road underdogs against the Falcons in Week 11, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 50.5.

While Chicago’s defense has struggled mightily over the last three games, the Bears offense has thrived. Fields has emerged as one of the league’s most electric players and the offense is averaging 31 points per game over the last month.

This is the eighth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, Week 6 against the Commanders and Week 10 against the Lions.

Bears odds: Chicago opens as favorite vs. Lions in Week 10

The Bears are favored for just the third time this season ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

The Chicago Bears (3-6) will battle the Detroit Lions (2-6) on Sunday, and Chicago is looking to snap a two-game losing streak as they welcome their NFC North foes to Soldier Field.

Even with the Bears coming off a 35-32 loss to the Miami Dolphins, oddsmakers feel confident about Chicago’s chances at home against the Lions.

The Bears have opened as three-point home favorites against the Lions in Week 10, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 48.5.

That surely has a lot to do with the emergence of quarterback Justin Fields, who had his coming-out party with a record-setting performance against Miami. Fields accounted for 301 yards and four touchdowns, including rushing for 178 yards — a regular-season NFL record for a quarterback.

This is just the third time this season that Chicago has been favored (previously against the Houston Texans in Week 3 and the Washington Commanders in Week 6).

They were underdogs against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys.

Bears open as huge underdogs vs. Cowboys in Week 8

The Bears are underdogs for the sixth time this season ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys.

The Chicago Bears (3-4) will battle the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday, where Chicago will look to build on an impressive prime-time win where all phases excelled.

Despite the Bears coming off that dominating 33-14 win over the New England Patriots (3-4), oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Cowboys.

The Bears have opened as 9.5-point road underdogs against the Cowboys in Week 8, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 42.5.

Following their impressive Week 7 win, Chicago has plenty to build on. The Bears offense scored their most points (33) since 2020, and Justin Fields put together his best game as a pro. On defense, they continue to be one of the best second-half teams in the NFL and forced another four turnovers. But they’ll be tested against a dominant Cowboys team.

This is the sixth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans and Week 6 against the Commanders.

Bears open as 7.5-point underdogs vs. Patriots in Week 7

The Bears are underdogs for the fifth time this season ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Patriots.

The Chicago Bears (2-4) will battle the New England Patriots (3-3) next Monday night, where Chicago will be looking to clean things up after their Week 6 loss against the Washington Commanders (2-4).

With the Bears are coming off a frustrating loss to an underwhelming Commanders team, oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Patriots.

The Bears have opened as 7.5-point underdogs against the Patriots in Week 7, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 39.5.

There are plenty of concerns surrounding this Chicago team, especially the development of quarterback Justin Fields. The offensive line, down their best in Cody Whitehair, remains a liability, and there could be changes on the way.

Now, the Bears will go up against Bill Belichick, who’s beaten them five straight times dating back to 2002.

This is the fifth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans and Week 6 against the Commanders.

Bears open as 0.5-point favorites vs. Commanders in Week 6

The Bears are favorites for just the second time this season ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Commanders.

The Chicago Bears (2-3) will battle the Washington Commanders (1-4) on Thursday night, where Chicago is looking to build off an encouraging loss in Week 5.

While the Bears lost 29-22 to the Minnesota Vikings (4-1), it wasn’t a demoralizing loss. In fact, it was an encouraging one, especially as it pertains to quarterback Justin Fields’ development.

The Bears have opened as 0.5-point favorites against the Commanders in Week 6, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 38.5. It doesn’t show a lot of confidence in Chicago, given the home team is usually afforded 3 points.

But there are reasons to be encouraged looking ahead to the rest of this season, especially with Fields, who is coming off his best game of the season. With the Commanders on deck, this is another opportunity for Fields and the passing offense to take a step forward. And it’s a chance for Chicago to play an entire game, rather than being a second-half team.

This is the second time this season that the Bears are favorites (previously in Week 3 against the Houston Texans). They’ve been underdogs in four games this season (San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings).

Bears open as 7.5-point underdogs vs. Vikings in Week 5

The Bears are underdogs for the fourth time this season ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Vikings.

The Chicago Bears (2-2) will battle the Minnesota Vikings (3-1) this Sunday, where Chicago will be looking to clean things up after their Week 4 loss against the New York Giants (3-1).

With the Bears are coming off a frustrating loss to an underwhelming Giants team, oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Vikings.

The Bears have opened as 7.5-point underdogs against the Vikings in Week 5, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 44.

There are plenty of concerns surrounding this Chicago team, especially the development of quarterback Justin Fields. The passing game remains the worst in the NFL, by far, and the offensive line, now down Cody Whitehair, has struggled mightily. And with Dalvin Cook on deck, this Bears run defense could be in for another long afternoon.

This is the fourth time this season that the Bears are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and New York Giants). They were favored in Week 3 against the Texans.

Bears open as 2.5-point home favorites vs. Texans in Week 3

The Bears are favorites for the first time this season in their Week 3 matchup against the Texans.

The Chicago Bears (1-1) will host the Houston Texans (0-1-1) this Sunday, where Chicago will be looking to rebound following a brutal loss to the Green Bay Packers (1-1) in Week 2.

Despite the Bears coming off that loss, oddsmakers are feeling good about Chicago’s chances of taking care of business at home.

The Bears have opened as 2.5-point home favorites against the Texans in Week 3, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 40.5.

Both Chicago and Houston are coming off disappointing losses in Week 2, and the Texans remain winless through the first couple of games. These are two bad teams playing each other, and the Bears have a chance to follow up a disappointing loss with a victory.

This is the first time this season that the Bears are favorites, as they were underdogs at home against the San Francisco 49ers and on the road against the Packers.

Bears open as 5.5-point home underdogs vs. Packers in Week 17

While Chicago has been on a hot streak, there’s not a lot of confidence in the Bears slaying their demons with a win over the Packers.

[jwplayer 9XFNYAPO-ThvAeFxT]

With just one week left in the 2020 regular season, the Chicago Bears have an opportunity to secure their first postseason berth since 2018. The Bears are in control of their own destiny, where all they need to do is win in Week 17 to make the playoffs.

But that’ll be easier said than done against the Green Bay Packers, a team with plenty to play for on Sunday, including the No. 1 seed, a first-round bye and home field advantage through the postseason. It also doesn’t help that the Packers have had the Bears’ number for more than a decade.

While Chicago has won three straight games and has found a rhythm on offense, there’s not a lot of confidence in the Bears slaying their demons with a win over the Packers. Chicago has opened as 5.5-point home underdogs against Green Bay, according to BetMGM.

This is the 13th time the Bears have been underdogs this season. They’ve been favored just three times this year, with two coming in home games against the New York Giants in Week 2 and Detroit Lions in Week 13, and a road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It’s not really a surprise to see the Bears as underdogs in this contest considering their history against the Packers. After all, Chicago only beat Green Bay four times in the last decade. And it doesn’t help that Aaron Rodgers has been playing at an MVP level.

Can Chicago hold on to their playoff spot and shock the world with a win over Green Bay? Or will the Packers once again beat the Bears? We’ll see when the Bears and Packers kick things off Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
