Sunday Night Football is a showdown between last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud and this year's favorite and the #1 pick for the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams. The Bears (+6.5) are coming off of an ugly Week 1 road win against the Titans, while the Texans open up at home after a divisional win against the Colts. The Bears come into Week 2 hobbled w ith Rome Odunze nursing a sprained MCL and Keenan Allen reaggravating a heel injury. Starting TE Dalton Schultz is likely to miss the game as he has not practiced all week with an ankle injury and would be a blow to the Houston offense.
The total is set at 45.5 and I'm excited to see if Caleb Williams can improve upon a poor Week 1 outing, throwing for just 98 yards on a 48% completion percentage. CJ Stroud (+850) will look to stamp his name in the MVP race this season with Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Let’s break down my best Bears vs Texans player prop bet for Sunday Night Football, while you can also find our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY Week 2 game.
