Rams vs Bears Player Props: Overs on the Menu for Potential Shootout

Last Updated: 5 hours ago

Sunday’s playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears is a dream for player props.

In addition to having the highest over/under of the NFL Divisional Round games, both teams feature quarterbacks who are playing at a high level and talented playmakers. It also helps that neither defense has looked particularly good lately.

With so many options, here are my four favorite Rams vs Bears Divisional Round props.

All NFL odds used for these Rams vs Bears player props are current as of Thursday, Jan. 15, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Best Rams vs Bears Player Props

Matthew Stafford: Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+144) @ Bears

This is my NFL pick of the day for props, especially if you want to be a little aggressive.

The 32 passing touchdowns the Bears allowed during the regular season were the fifth-most by any team.

That doesn’t include the four passing touchdowns Jordan Love had last week. In Week 17, Brock Purdy also threw three touchdown passes against the Chicago defense.

Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford has thrown multiple touchdown passes in 12 straight games, including eight outings with at least three touchdown passes.

If you want good value, take a chance on Stafford throwing at least three touchdowns against a lackluster Chicago defense.

Caleb Williams: Over 220.5 Passing Yards (-113) vs Rams

This number is surprisingly low, especially since the Rams gave up an average of 234 passing yards per game this season.

In fact, the Rams have only held one quarterback below 220.5 passing yards in their last six games. Even Jacoby Brissett (243) and Bryce Young (264) have topped that number against Los Angeles in the last two weeks.

Since the Bears might have to air it out to keep up with the Rams, Williams throwing for over 220.5 passing yards is among the safest Rams vs Bears props.

Consider this wager with the top sportsbook promotions for 2026.

Kyren Williams: Over 75.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-112) @ Bears

Last week, Williams totaled just 75 rushing and receiving yards, so he would have fallen just short of this threshold.

However, he easily surpassed that total in his previous five games to close out the regular season, and he has a favorable matchup against the Chicago defense this week.

The Bears allowed five yards per carry by opposing running backs during the regular season, while Williams averaged at least five yards per carry in seven of his last 10 games.

With Williams getting regular touches as a pass-catcher, it’d be shocking if he didn’t rack up at least 80 total yards against such a subpar defense.

Luther Burden III: Over 2.5 Receptions (-162) vs Rams

The value for this bet isn’t that high, but the threshold is so low that it can’t be ignored.

Granted, Williams has done a good job of spreading the ball around to half a dozen wide receivers and tight ends this season, making it hard to guarantee regular touches for any one player.

But Burden has caught at least three passes in nine straight games, including last week’s win over the Packers.

During that stretch, he’s averaged 5.2 targets per game, as Williams has shown plenty of trust in the rookie, which makes me think Burden’s streak of three or more receptions will continue.
