Over 7.5 wins (-130)
I am a big believer in what the Bears have done to help Justin Fields take his game to the next level. Acquiring DJ Moore gives Fields a proven No. 1 receiver and allows Darnell Mooney to slot into a more appropriate role as a No. 2 receiver. Robert Tonyan joins Cole Kmet at TE and Chicago has a deep stable of running backs and an offensive line that should have improved ability and depth. The Bears are primed to make a big leap in 2023 because I believe Justin Fields is the most talented QB in the division by a wide margin. Chicago has widely used its assets this offseason and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them finish top-2 in the NFC North and flirt with being a playoff team. If I had to play the win total right now, I would lean to the over. I don't see imposing competition in the division. It's wide open and Chicago has the ability to make a move in 2023 if Fields builds on what he showed at the end of 2022. -- Tyler Fulghum
Justin Fields under 875.5 rushing yards
This is such a big number for a QB (it has already fallen to 775.5/-115 as of early August). I would have to yield to the under. If all goes to plan for Chicago, Fields won't need to run the ball as much as he did last season. I fully expect him to have a few games where he rips off a 50-plus yard TD run because he's that dynamic of an athlete. But I also expect Chicago to call fewer designed runs for Fields now that he has more capable pass catchers and a better OL on paper. -- Fulghum
*Record against the "Over" line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
