NFL Week 2 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bears vs. Packers
The Bears beat the 49ers last week in a muddy, wet game at Soldier Field. Justin Fields only threw 17 passes in the game, while the team had 37 rushing attempts. The play-calling could be quite different this week since the weather dictated it last week. They only averaged 2.7 yards per carry in the season opener, so they will look to capitalize against the Packers’ pass defense that just let Justin Jefferson run free all day in Week 1.
The Packers were held to seven points by the Vikings in their Week 1 loss, as Aaron Rodgers only threw for 195 yards and an interception. He was without his number-one target, Allen Lazard, who will be returning this week. His return should help tremendously, as a rookie, Christian Watson, dropped a would-be TD last week. The Packers averaged 6.2 yards per carry and will look to run against a Bears’ defense that allowed 4.8 yards per attempt.
Picks: Bears +10.5 | Lean o41.5
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
