Tom Waddle
Overall record entering Week 5: 6-6
D’Andre Swift: 2.5 receptions – OVER
Chuba Hubbard: 60 rushing yards – OVER
Andy Dalton: 0.5 interceptions – OVER
Bears total points: 23.5 – OVER
Waddle believes a breakout game is coming for the Bears offense and they will tally at least 24 points in this game. He also sees Swift as a big part of the passing game for the 2nd straight week but believes the Bears defense is susceptible to the run and thinks Hubbard could have another solid game.

Robbie Gould
Overall record entering Week 5: 4-4
Bears total points: 23.5 – OVER
Total points: 42 – UNDER
Game spread: Bears -3.5
Cairo Santos: 1.5 field goals – OVER
Like Waddle, Gould is buying what the Bears offense is selling. He sees this team handling the Panthers pretty easily and keeping the Carolina offense at bay so the under hits.
Scott Bair
Overall record entering Week 5: 6-6
Caleb Williams: 217 passing yards – OVER
Caleb Williams: 0.5 interceptions – OVER
Total points: 41.5 – UNDER
Cole Kmet: 29.5 receiving yards – OVER
Bair thinks this is a game the Bears control almost from the outset, with a defense that can control Andy Dalton and play solid run defense despite recent issues in that area. The Panthers defense wasn’t great before losing both starting linebackers, and the Bears, especially Cole Kmet, should be able to take advantage of a weakness in the middle of the field. Chicago will put up a decent tally, but Panthers scoring will be so low that staying under 41.5 won’t be a problem.
Lance Brozdowski
Overall record entering Week 5: 4-4
D’Andre Swift: 49.5 rushing yards – UNDER
Andy Dalton: 1.5 pass TDs – UNDER
Andy Dalton: 0.5 INT – OVER
Xavier Legette: 47.5 receiving yards – OVER
Brozdowski thinks the Chicago defense makes life difficult for former Bears QB Andy Dalton while rookie Legette has another strong day and Swift struggles to build on his breakthrough game last week.
