Choices for the game

DJ Moore 60+ receiving yards

Tyler Fulghum: The Jaguars are getting shredded by opposing WRs. The opposing team’s leading receiver has racked up 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 after five starts in Caleb Williams’ career. I think this is another spot where we can trust Williams and his No. 1 WR to do a good job on Sunday.

Trevor Lawrence under 224.5 passing yards.

Eric Moody: Lawrence posted 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 faces the Bears, who rank second in pass rush wins and have a secondary that allows just 174.0 passing yards per game. Lawrence has averaged 182.2 yards from weeks 1 through 4. This could be a tough game for the Jaguars quarterback against the best secondary defense he has ever faced.

Bears -1.0.

Eric Moody: The Jaguars head to London for back-to-back games after earning their first win against the Colts in Week 5. 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 fifth in points allowed per game. On the other hand, Caleb Williams from Chicago is growing before our eyes. He has thrown for over 300 yards in two of his past three games, showing improvement against the blitz and on deep throws (over 15 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.
