The Chicago Bears are one of the worst teams in the NFL, thanks in large part because of a horrendous secondary. The Bears rank near the bottom of the NFL in coverage against wide receivers, which sets up well for Philadelphia Eagles top target A.J. Brown.
Since being traded to the Eagles, A.J. Brown has shown he’s their true No. 1 wide receiver. FanDuel is offering him to find the end zone at a tremendous value of +100. Let’s break down why and be sure to always visit the OddsShopper tool to find the best bets.
Eagles-Bears Best Touchdown Bet: AJ Brown
Slated to be across from Brown on Sunday is rookie Kyler Gordon. Gordon’s first season in the NFL hasn’t been up to par for the second-round pick. Gordon has allowed the 50 completions on his 61 targets, which ranks 6th-worst in the NFL. This has resulted in him to allow a horrid 118.2 passer rating with 12.3 yards per reception. This makes him 114th out of 119 cornerbacks in the NFL when it comes to coverage.
The other possible matchup on Sunday for Brown will be cornerback Jaylon Jones, who like Gordon is a rookie. Jones is struggling as well, allowing a 99.3 passer rating with 11.1 yards per reception. That puts him near Gordon at 103 out of 119 cornerbacks.
AJ Brown ranks second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns at 10. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has a passer rating of 133.2 when trying to Brown with 15.7 yards per reception. Brown is easily Hurts’ favorite target.
With the Eagles spread being -9.5, look for this high-powered offense led by A.J. Brown to pile on the points today in Chicago.
