The Chicago Bears fanbase is hyped that quarterback Caleb Williams was their number-one overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Chicago has not won the NFC North title since the 2018 season. That was also the last time that they have beaten the Green Bay Packers in a single game. Chicago has lost 10 straight games to Green Bay.
The Bears have been featured on the training camp edition of Hard Knocks. Chicago revamped the offense this offseason and it wasn’t only by drafting Caleb Williams. They also drafted wide receiver Rome Odunze with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Washington.
The Bears also traded for wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. Allen will be in the final year of his contract and he may not re-sign him at the end of the season.
It is also going to depend on the offensive line play for the Chicago Bears this season. Chicago also has to deal with the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Detroit Lions twice a year in the NFC North.
FanDuel Sportsbook Passing Yards Odds For Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams
Last season with the USC Trojans, he completed 68.6% of his passes for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns, and five interceptions. The over/under on FanDuel Sportsbook for Williams passing yards this season is 3500.5 passing yards. The over/under odds for this is -112. It will be hard for him to do it in his rookie season.
There is no doubt that Williams is very talented. However, it is going to be different against facing bigger, faster, and stronger defensive players in the NFL. C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans was tremendous during his rookie season. Caleb Williams is going to have high expectations in his first season because of it. Despite the offensive talent on the roster, bet the under 3500.5 passing yards at -112 odds in his first NFL season.
Passing Touchdowns
The passing touchdowns on FanDuel Sportsbook for Williams is set at 22.5. The over odds are at -122 and the under odds are at -104. There are a lot of offensive weapons for Chicago. Outside of the three wide receivers, Williams also has Cole Kmet at tight end and D’Andre Swift in the backfield.
It would be worth the bet to take the over 22.5 touchdown pass for Caleb Williams entering the 2024 season at -122 odds. This could feel like a year where Williams throws a lot of red zone touchdowns rather than deep touchdown passes.
