This time, some of the most popular bets center around the Bears’ rushing attack and where a couple of key pass-catchers (DJ Moore, Cole Kmet) fit in the passing game.
Tom Waddle
Overall record entering Week 4: 5-3
DJ Moore: 56.5 receiving yards – OVER
Cairo Santos: 1.5 field goals – OVER
Bears team sacks: 2.5 – OVER
Roschon Johnson: 34.5 rushing yards – OVER
Waddle expects the Bears to get Moore involved in the passing game and believes Johnson will be the team’s leading ball carrier in Week 4. But until the offense starts scoring touchdowns regularly, he believes the Bears will have to rely on Santos to continue to deliver for points.
Cole Wright
Overall record entering Week 4: 5-3
D’Andre Swift: 35.5 yards – OVER
Matthew Stafford: 0.5 interceptions – OVER
Cole Kmet: 3.5 receptions – OVER
Total points: 40.5 – UNDER
Wright believes this is the week for Swift to get back on track and thinks Kmet will continue to be a big part of the Bears passing attack. He also thinks the final score will come in right at 40 points – with the Bears winning 23-17.

Robbie Gould
Overall record entering Week 4: 2-2
Total touchdowns: 4.5 – OVER
Bears total points: 21.5 – OVER
First half spread: Bears -1.5
Cairo Santos: 6.5 total points – OVER
Gould is buying into a turnaround for the Bears offense, predicting there will be 6 touchdowns scored between the 2 teams and thinks Caleb Williams and Co. can pick apart the Rams defense. He also sees the Bears getting out to an early lead as it is historically difficult for a West Coast team to travel to the central time zone and play a Noon game.
Scott Bair
Overall record entering Week 3: 5-3
Roschon Johnson: 34.5 rushing yards – OVER
Caleb Williams: 0.5 interceptions – OVER
Bears total points: 21.5 – OVER
Cole Kmet: 3.5 receptions – OVER
Bair expects Johnson to be a bigger part of the Bears offense but thinks Williams will still throw a lot, so there will be a possibility he makes a mistake and turns the ball over. Bair also believes the Rams will put up at least 3 touchdowns but ultimately thinks the Bears will win, so they will need to top the 21.5 total points threshold.
Lance Brozdowski
Overall record entering Week 3: 3-1
D’Andre Swift: 35.5 yards – OVER
Caleb Williams: 0.5 interceptions – OVER
DJ Moore: 56.5 receiving yards – OVER
Game line: Rams +3.5
Brozdowski expects Khalil Herbert and Johnson to get more involved in the ground game and thinks Swift will be more of a factor out of the backfield in the passing game. He has a tough time fading Sean McVay on the road and ultimately thinks the Rams cover.
