Picks for the game
DJ Moore 60+ receiving yards
Tyler Fulghum: The Jaguars are getting shredded by opposing WRs. The leading receiver on the opposing team has amassed at least 70 yards in every game Jacksonville has played this season. They've already allowed four WRs to go over 100 yards. The Bears' offense is starting to find its footing five starts into the career of Caleb Williams. I think this is another spot where we can trust Williams and his No. 1 WR to put in good work Sunday.
Trevor Lawrence under 224.5 passing yards.
Eric Moody: Lawrence put up a season-high 371 yards against the Colts last week, but he faced almost no pressure (only 12 of his 49 dropbacks saw any heat). Now, he's up against the Bears, who rank second in pass rush win rate and have a secondary that has allowed just 174.0 passing yards per game. Lawrence has averaged 182.2 yards from Weeks 1-4. This could be a tough outing for the Jaguars quarterback against the best defense secondary he has faced.
Bears -1.0.
Eric Moody: The Jaguars head to London for back-to-back games after picking up their first win in Week 5 against the Colts. But this Jacksonville offense has struggled to find rhythm all season. Now, the Jags face a ferocious Bears defense that ranks seventh in total yards allowed and is tied for fifth in points allowed per game. On the other side, Chicago's Caleb Williams is growing before our eyes. He has thrown for 300-plus yards in two of his past three games, showing improvement against the blitz and on deep throws (15-plus air yards). The Jaguars are 3-8 against the spread in their last 11, while the Bears are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games.
