The NFL season is quickly approaching! Mandatory Mini Camps are here, and the Hall-of-Fame game between the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears takes place at the end of next month. We’re taking a look at all 32 NFL teams and our best bets for each prior to the 2025 season kicking off. The Chicago Bears are up next, so let’s take a look at this edition of the 2025 NFL Best Bets: Chicago Bears.
The hottest head coaching candidate on the market, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, had his choice of teams and picked the Bears. He steps into a team loaded with young talent as Caleb Williams returns for year two. The Bears overhauled the offensive line, adding players like multi-time Super Bowl champion Joe Thuney, and continued to add more talent to the team. They used the 10th overall selection in the NFL Draft to add Tight End Colston Loveland out of Michigan.
2025 NFL Best Bets: Chicago Bears
Bears to Make the Playoffs (+150)
It feels like it’s all falling into place. After going 5-12 last year, rebuilding their offensive line, and snagging Ben Johnson. The Bears feel like a playoff team in 2025 with a big step forward this year.
DJ Moore Under 975.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
While I love this offense, I think Moore is the odd man out. He’s had good seasons, but never really lived up to all the hype. Last year, he only accounted for 966 yards, the second time in the last three seasons he’s failed to hit this number. Bear stock up, Moore stock down.
2025 NFL Best Bets: Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams Over 425.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Honorable mention to D’Andre Swift rushing touchdowns, which I wanted to play the over here, but it isn’t available yet. Williams already topped this number last season. We’ve made the case for them to be much better this year, which is going to give him more time and space to scramble.
