Best NFL Player Props for Buccaneers vs. Bears

Here are my top player prop bets, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, November 8th:

Caleb Williams UNDER 21.5 Completions (-125, bet365)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONBET365

Williams has cleared this number in each of his last 3 games, but this will be his toughest test since returning from injury. Tampa Bay leads the NFL in DVOA, and their pass defense ranks 2nd in my schedule-adjusted EPA/play ratings.

The Bears run the ball well, which gives them an avenue of offensive success beyond Williams dropping back to throw. Tampa Bay also likes to play ball control, which could limit the offensive possessions for both of these teams.

Bucky Irving OVER 63.5 Rushing Yards (-113, FanDuel)

Irving had 100 rushing yards in the 1st half last weekend for Tampa Bay, as the team continues to lean into a run-heavy approach.

Since Baker Mayfield returned from injury, Irving has carried the ball 24 and 27 times. He’s had 106+ rushing yards in both of his last 2 games.

Chicago isn’t an ideal matchup, but volume alone should give Irving a chance to clear this number on Sunday Night Football.

Baker Mayfield UNDER 29.5 Pass Attempts (-116, DraftKings)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONDRAFTKINGS

Mayfield had 11 pass attempts in Week 7 and 3 pass attempts in Week 8. There has been a clear lack of desire from Tampa Bay to throw the football since Mayfield returned from injury, even accounting for last weekend’s inclement weather.

Chicago’s pass defense has performed well this season, holding 5 of the last 7 opposing quarterbacks under their season average EPA/play per game.

It would be surprising to see the Buccaneers come out with a pass-heavy approach this evening.
