Kalif Raymond Over 2.5 Receptions
Raymond’s track record on this bet has been solid over the first 6 weeks of the season, he has delivered 4 winners so far, while in the two games he failed to do so he was just 1 reception short. The Patriots rank 13th for Receptions allowed vs opposing WRs, if Chicago uses him on underneath routes and quick throws, getting to 3 receptions shouldn’t be too big of an ask here.
Demario Douglas Over 38.5 Receiving Yards
Douglas has enjoyed a solid spell of play in his last two games, cashing on this line with ease against the Raiders and Jets. His quickness makes him a useful option on crossing routes, screens, and short passes, giving him multiple ways to impact games. The Bears didn’t have an answer for him the last time he faced them, Douglas finished with 50 receiving yards. Chicago allows the 11th most receiving yards vs opposing WRs.
D’Andre Swift Over 20.5 Receiving Yards
The thing I like about D’Andre Swift is that he has the ability to impact the game both as a runner and as a pass catcher. The Patriots have shown weakness against opposing RBs this season, allowing the 6th most receiving yards against them. He cleared this line with ease in the last two games vs the Packers and Falcons, I feel quite confident in him doing so again on Thursday.
A.J. Brown Over 69.5 Receiving Yards
Brown’s last 3 games against the Bears read 23 catches for 414 yards and 3 touchdowns scored. The ankle injury he’s dealing with has somewhat limited him, but I’ve not yet given up on him. He was targeted 10 times in his latest game against the Jets, showing that the Patriots were willing to feature him even when he wasn’t delivering. Chicago ranks 11th for Receiving Yards allowed v WRs this season, I’m counting on Brown to bounce back here.
