Caleb Williams M/L Than 218.5 Passing Yards
The Chicago Bears enter this game as 4-point underdogs. Their season has been a nightmare, characterized by slow starts, falling behind early, and having to throw constantly to play catch-up.
There’s a strong likelihood we’ll see the same script tonight. Since Matt Eberflus’ termination, the defense has fallen apart, allowing 30 or more points in each of the three games following his departure.
With nothing to lose and a high probability of needing to air it out to stay competitive, this game sets up well for Williams to surpass his passing yards prop. Williams is averaging 218 yards on 21 completions and 34 attempts per game. Since Thomas Brown took over play-calling duties, Williams has exceeded this prop mark in 4 of 6 games.
The Seahawks’ defense is giving up 214 passing yards per game, with opponents averaging 10 yards per completion and a 66% completion rate. Stokastic’s NFL DFS projections have Williams throwing the ball 33 times, completing 20 passes, and finishing with 228 passing yards.
Let’s back our projections and take his over this evening.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Caleb Williams More Than 218.5 Passing Yards
Zach Charbonnet M/L Than 68.5 Rushing Yards
This season, 13 opposing running backs have rushed for 69 or more yards against the Chicago Bears.
Chicago’s defense is allowing 4.7 yards per rush attempt, ranking 29th in the league. They also sit 28th in rush EPA per Play allowed and surrender 1.2 rushing touchdowns per game. Like most teams facing the Bears, the Seahawks are likely to lean on their ground attack.
Zach Charbonnet has been a strong addition to Seattle’s offense, especially when filling in for the injured Kenneth Walker. In the three games where he’s logged double-digit carries, Charbonnet has averaged 88 rushing yards on 4.6 yards per carry. He’s also surpassed this prop mark in two of those games.
Stokastic’s NFL DFS projections have Charbonnet rushing 19 times for 73 yards. I expect his rushing total to exceed those projections, but either way, we align on him hitting 70+ yards tonight.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Zach Charbonnet More Than 68.5 Rushing Yards
