Week 1 Titans vs. Bears Props: Bet on QBs & Hopkins to Rack It Up 9/8

Both teams are in a rebuild of some kind, and this matchup should be particularly interesting, especially with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams making his first home start (no pressure at all, right?). So, grab your pen, paper, iPad—whatever you use to take notes nowadays. We’ve got some shop talk, and you won’t want to miss these NFL picks as we approach kickoff.

Best 3 Prop Bets for Titans vs Bears

1. Caleb Williams to Throw 2+ Touchdowns

Right out of the gate, since draft night, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has been the talk of the town, capturing tons of media attention throughout the offseason. Although we’ve seen very little of him in action, he looked solid during the limited snaps he took. We also got a sneak peek at how the Bears’ offense plans to operate this year—a pass-heavy system.

Caleb Williams is just ridiculous.

Chaos around him, off platform, off time, and he throws a 42 yard touch pass. This dude is special!

‘Jeremy, come on, get to the point. What should we expect?’ Well, not only have we seen that Williams can launch it—even on the run (watch out, Mahomes)—but he’s also got a couple of seasoned receivers in his corner: DJ Moore and former longtime Chargers wideout Keenan Allen.

Think about it: a rookie quarterback stepping into a franchise with the starting spot and two of the league’s top receivers alongside him. If this were poker, Williams would be holding an ace and a nine—he just needs to play his hand right to seal the deal, which he will.

NFL betting odds have Caleb Williams to throw 2+ touchdown passes at -114, and this is a steal. Normally, I’m not one to go all-in on quarterbacks, but this opportunity is practically served on a gold platter for you to cash in.

2. Will Levis to Throw 2+ Touchdowns

While we’re talking quarterbacks, let’s shift the conversation to the Titans’ Will Levis. It’s safe to say that despite the limited field time Levis saw last year, his performance was more productive than many had anticipated.

In his nine games last season, Levis threw for 1,808 yards and eight touchdowns. Not jaw-dropping stats, but certainly not a disaster run like some other quarterbacks had (as a Giants fan, I’m not holding back on that one).

Will Levis just threw his fourth TD of the day. This was a 33-yard DOT to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

As Levis takes the field for Tennessee’s first game of the season, he’ll also hit the turf with two elite receivers—Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. So, it’s safe to say that you can expect to see the ball flying from both teams’ offenses.

NFL odds for Levis to throw 2+ touchdowns are set at +146, and this is your time to capitalize and get ahead of your betting season.

3. Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins 45+ Receiving Yards

Before the questions start flying about why a Bears wide receiver isn’t on my list, let me explain: Caleb Williams has more than just a few options, making it difficult to pin down one specific receiver for a standout game.

However, for the Titans, it’s a choice between DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley. Keep in mind that Levis already played with Hopkins last season, so their chemistry will definitely influence all offensive calls, not just for this game but throughout the season.

Plus, in the Titans’ season opener last year, Hopkins finished with seven receptions for 65 receiving yards. Normally, I’d pick a wide receiver to have more than just 45 receiving yards, especially someone of Hopkins’ caliber, but it is the first game of the season.

With NFL predictions set on Hopkins to finish with 45+ yards in this game, this bet might be as easy as taking candy from a baby. And I mean it—don’t overthink it. Place your money on Hopkins to rack up at least 45 receiving yards.
