NFL Sunday Night Football: Texans vs. Bears Player Prop Predictions

As two undefeated teams prepare to clash, Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will face off against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in what promises to be an exciting Sunday Night Football showdown. Stroud, who had an impressive start to the season with 234 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 against the Colts, is set at 265.5 passing yards in the prop odds for this game. On the other hand, Williams struggled in his debut, completing just 48.3% of his passes for 93 yards. His over/under for total passing yards is set at 218.5.

For those entering NFL prop bets on platforms like PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, or DraftKings, CBS Sports recommends consulting SportsLine's AI PickBot, which uses cutting-edge AI and machine learning to generate predictions. The PickBot evaluates each player's historical data, factoring in the strength of the opposing defense to assign a matchup score.

One notable pick for this game is Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs to go under 56.5 receiving yards. Despite leading Houston with six receptions in Week 1, Diggs only managed 33 yards. With plenty of competition for targets in the Texans' passing game, including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Dalton Schultz, Diggs' yardage may be limited. Additionally, Chicago's defense allowed only 104 passing yards in Week 1, making it a tough matchup for Houston's aerial attack.

The AI PickBot predicts Diggs will finish with around 37.4 receiving yards, marking the under as a 4.5-star play. As bettors look to make their picks for Texans vs. Bears, fading Diggs on his receiving yard total may be a strong choice, especially given the depth of Houston's wide receiver corps and Chicago's strong pass defense.
