The Bears and Texans tangle in the Sunday Night game in Week 2 as both teams come in off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wins. Chicago rallied from 17 points down to defeat the Titans while Houston hung on for a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
two-point win in Indianapolis. We\u2019ll break down this prime-time matchup and also find some<\/p>\n\n\n\n
player prop best bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In his first professional game, top pick Caleb Williams really struggled completing less than 50%<\/p>\n\n\n\n of his passes, 14-of-29 and just 93 yards with no touchdowns. Now he\u2019s thrust into the spotlight<\/p>\n\n\n\n for his debut on national television. How will he respond? If the Bears have any chance to win<\/p>\n\n\n\n the road Williams has to play better and the defense, special teams has to contribute like they<\/p>\n\n\n\n did against the Titans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Houston Texans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Houston found success on the ground rushing for 213 yards in Week 1 with newcomer Joe<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mixon carrying much of the workload, 30 carries, 159 yards and a touchdown. He could be in<\/p>\n\n\n\n line for more work as the Bears allowed 140 yards to Tennessee so clearly there are some<\/p>\n\n\n\n holes in that Chicago defense. C.J. Stroud will look to improve from Week 1 where he went<\/p>\n\n\n\n 24-32 passes, 234 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best Bet Player Props<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe Mixon: Anytime TD (-143)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mixon will get the bulk of the work as the lead rusher and when the Texans are in the red zone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n he\u2019ll likely be their main target. Not only from the goalline situations, but he can also come out<\/p>\n\n\n\n of the backfield, he had 3 receptions against the Colts. Look for Mixon to find paydirt Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n D.J. Moore: Over 60.5 Receiving Yards (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019d have to think Caleb Williams will have a better day than last week so we\u2019ll lean on D.J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moore to have a productive day. Moore was one of Williams\u2019 favorite receivers last week as he<\/p>\n\n\n\n was targeted 8 times and had 5 catches. With rookie Rome Odunze out with an injury, Moore<\/p>\n\n\n\n should get lots of looks from his rookie QB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recent Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Houston was 10-9 ATS last season, but didn’t cover vs Indy in Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Texans were 6-3 SU in 2023, 4-5 ATS at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chicago went 8-7-2 ATS in 2023 and covered vs Titans last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2020, the Bears are 28-38-3 ATS, 4th worst in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Game Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bears +6.5 (-106)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texans -6.5 (-114)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total: 46<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bears and Texans tangle in the Sunday Night game in Week 2 as both teams come in off wins….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":25249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[146],"class_list":["post-25315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25315"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25316,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25315\/revisions\/25316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
