Patriots vs Bears Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
Hunter Henry Anytime Touchdown (+240)
Hunter Henry has scored in each of the last two games and leads the Patriots in red-zone targets (5) while running nearly triple the routes of fellow TE Eli Raridon.
Henry is facing a Bears defense that tends to play a bit more man coverage and two-high safety looks. That’s good for Henry, who tends to see higher target rates against those defenses.
The Bears also gave up two touchdowns to Kyle Pitts last week, so look for the Patriots to try and exploit that weakness.
Pick: Hunter Henry Anytime Touchdown (+240; betMGM)
Caleb Williams Anytime Touchdown (+350)
Caleb Williams scored twice in Week 1. He scrambled a couple of times in his return from injury but didn’t really need to run with the game script out of hand.
The Patriots' run defense is above average, but they’ve faced a lot of stiff quarterbacks who don’t rush with the ball often, like Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith and Kirk Cousins.
When they faced mobile QBs like Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence, both had success running against this defense.
Coming off injury, Williams is still a threat to run inside the red zone. If he’s healthier, these odds are too high for his TD prop. His average anytime TD odds last year were +285.
Kyle Williams Anytime Touchdown (+750)
Kyle Williams caught a TD last week and could see a boosted role in the offense with Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins out.
Williams is the Patriots' main deep threat and leads the team in aDOT. After Doubs was injured against the Jets, Williams' route participation rate nearly doubled to 57%.
The Bears defense is also giving up a lot of deep shots, ranking bottom five in catches of 20+ yards allowed and last in catches of 40+ yards allowed.
If Drake Maye has found his deep ball touch again, I think he can find Williams in the end zone.
