NFL Monday Night Football best bets Week 3
The Eagles and Bears meet up with Caleb Williams inactive, and it presents interesting prop betting opportunities.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears are set to face each other in a Week 3 NFL Monday Night Football matchup. Chicago’s starting quarterback is in doubt due to a hamstring injury suffered by Caleb Williams. However, this presents some potential betting opportunities for certain player props.
One such opportunity is on Chicago’s Dontayvion Wicks. The wide receiver has already demonstrated his value to the Eagles’ passing game, ranking second in targets and catches, and leading in yards per target. With the Bears allowing the fourth-highest explosive-pass rate in the NFL, Wicks is well-positioned to exceed the 42.5-yard receiving yard threshold on Monday night.
Another prop bet to consider is on Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley has only 92 rushing yards through two games, but is expected to return to full workload after a stinger injury in Week 2. Chicago has allowed 122 rushing yards per game, ranking 22nd in the league. Given the odds, Barkley could be primed to clear the 71.5-yard rushing mark.
Lastly, there is a prop bet on Chicago wide receiver Rome Odunze. Odunze has accumulated 95 yards on 5 receptions through two games, and may see even more action with their quarterback situation up in the air. With the Eagles’ defense likely to force the Bears into more passing plays, Odunze may clear the 2.5 reception mark on Monday night.
