Kyler Murray, Justin Fields and Michael Wilson Prop Bets for Cardinals vs. Bears in Week 16
The Cardinals will spend Christmas Eve in Chicago in a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.
I think an upset is possible, as Chicago's passing attack is still a concern.
That belief has also played a role in my prop bet predictions for this matchup.
Prop Bet Pick: Cardinals QB Kyler Murray Over/Under 0.5 Interceptions
The Bears have forced a mind-boggling 14 turnovers over their past four games, and while the defense does look better than the poor early-season iteration, turnovers can be finnicky.
The defense still isn’t great, and Murray’s career interception percentage sits right around 2%, as he has always done a decent job of taking care of the ball.
Murray is coming off a two-pick game but the Cardinals have shown a propensity to run the ball when the game script is neutral, and I don’t think Arizona will fall behind in this one.
At +105 odds I like the underdog play of Murray not tossing a pick against the Bears.
Prediction: Kyler Murray Under 0.5 Interceptions (+105 at BetMGM)
Prop Bet Pick: Bears QB Justin Fields Over/Under 57.5 Rushing Yards
The Cardinals have faced a bunch of pocket passers this season, but I think Lamar Jackson is a good example of what could happen in this game.
Jackson only carried the ball five times for 17 yards against Arizona, as the traditional running game and the passing attack were both solid.
Fields is very reliant on his legs but this number seems high. The Bears should be able to run the ball with their stable of backs and find some openings through the air against a bad cornerback group and pass-rush.
I don’t think Fields will be in scramble mode too often, which will keep the rushing yardage total down.
Prediction: Justin Fields under 57.5 rushing yards (-119 at Caesars)
Prop Bet Pick: Cardinals WR Michael Wilson Over/Under 32.5 Receiving Yards
Wilson missed multiple games due to injury and then went catch-less on three targets last week. But with Hollywood Brown sidelined, he is one of the top options in the passing game beyond Trey McBride.
Wilson’s production has been up and down this season but he is likely to play almost every snap and should see more targets than last week.
Wilson has amassed 33 receiving yards or more in six of his 10 games this season and I think that continues here.
Prediction: Michael Wilson over 32.5 receiving yards (-110 at BetMGM)
- Last Time: 2-1
- Overall Props Bet Record: 46-37
