Saints vs. Bears Player Prop
For this week’s matchup Roschon Johnson has a rushing yards prop set at 27.5. The over is offering a payout of -110, which implies odds of 52%, while the under is paying out at -122 (55%). In six games, Roschon Johnson has rushed the ball 31 times for 143 yards. Currently, he ranks 51st among running backs in rushing yards gained. For Johnson’s prop of 27.5 rushing yards, I recommend taking the over. New Orleans has been in the middle of the pack in terms of run defense, and I expect the Bears to run the ball effectively, with Johnson leading the way.
- The Prop: Roschon Johnson Over 27.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Saints VS. Bears Predictions
From the time the lines were first released, New Orleans has transitioned from -5.5 point favorites to their current line of -8.5 (-110). Conversely, Chicago is currently +8.5 (-110) point underdogs on the road.
Chicago is my choice on the spread at +8.5. I expect the Chicago rushing attack to take advantage of the New Orleans defense, which struggled to defend the run in their recent game. Don’t miss out on Chicago at +8.5.
