After yet another fun weekend of NFL action, all eyes now turn to Thursday Night Football in Week Seven. This will see the New England Patriots traveling to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.
Here are my plays for Thursday Night Football in Week Seven.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from Fanatics, BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings.
Straights
To be honest, this game might be a complete stay away from me unless I live bet a side. I originally came into this week liking the Chicago Bears, but the 3.5 points with the New England Patriots has had me kind of tempted to flip the other way. I like what both of these teams did last week in their games, so that also makes it a bit hard for me to want to choose one or the other. I’m not the biggest fan of the over or under either, so I think I will just watch this game as a fan.
The primetime underdogs are on a crazy covering streak, so I may look to take the Patriots if I can get them a bit better than +3.5 points. That is my lean as of now due to the dog covering streak
Player Props
AJ Brown over 68.5 receiving yards (-114) & over 4.5 receptions (-172)
To be honest, this play is just straight up betting on AJ Brown to bounce back. He had a horrendous game last week, and part of me wonders if that was because he came back a week too early. I look for AJ Brown to show up and show out in this primetime matchup against the Chicago Bears, redeeming himself for how he played last week.
Hunter Henry over 33.5 recieving yards (-114)
Henry has hit this over in three straight games, putting him on an NBA Jam. I also believe that the injury to Romeo Doubs will mean more targets and receptions for Hunter Henry.
D’Andre Swift over 15+ recieving yards (-158)
D’Andre Swift has hit over 15+ receiving yards in three straight games, putting him also on an NBA Jam. It feels as if the Bears are going to be one of those offenses where a different guy will eat every week. Due to that, I’m going to stick with the one of the more constant guys on the field, which is the running back.
As for anytime touchdown scorers, I like: AJ Brown (+135), D’Andre Swift (-160), Drake Maye (+350) & finally Rome Odunze (+175). If you want to get super nasty, a sleeper pick is Eli Raridon (+500).
