Rams vs Bears Betting Guide: 3 Player Prop Predictions for Sunday, January 18

And then, there were eight. The NFL’s Wild Card Weekend truly lived up to the hype and craziness that everyone was hoping for, and we’re now left with eight of the best teams in the league. Four games are taking place between Saturday and Sunday to determine the conference championship matchups, and we’re certainly looking forward to all of them.

We’ve got you covered with the best player props from each matchup, including the battle between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears on an early edition of Sunday Night Football. The Rams are 3.5-point favorites on the road, but truly anything can happen in a game of this magnitude.

We, like everyone else, are wondering if Caleb Williams can keep the magic alive to keep the Bears in this one, or if Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ experience will ultimately win out. Let’s get into it!

Matthew Stafford OVER 265.5 Passing Yards

Matthew Stafford led the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns this season, a feat that nobody expected from the 37-year-old veteran. He’s been nothing short of unstoppable all year, and we’re expecting his dominance to continue in this one.

The Bears have been one of the worst teams against the pass, allowing 232.5 yards per game through the air. Stafford threw for over 300 against the Carolina Panthers last week and shouldn’t have any trouble getting close to that number here. Don’t overthink the potential MVP in this spot.

Caleb Williams OVER 219.5 Passing Yards

Caleb Williams might not have led the NFL in passing this year like Stafford, but he was seventh in this statistic, an impressive feat considering it’s his second year. The 24-year-old isn’t afraid of the bright lights, as demonstrated by his fantastic, 361-yard performance against the Green Bay Packers last week.

Williams’ arm is even better than people expected, and his ability to pick up yardage on third and fourth downs is a true marvel. Look for this to be a shootout between two of the game’s best passers.

Colston Loveland OVER 55.5 Receiving Yards

Colston Loveland was a first-round pick in 2025, and he wasted no time in letting the Bears know they made the right decision. Williams’ connection with Loveland has been palpable since the get-go, and he’s continued to be a reliable weapon as the season has gone on.

Loveland was huge in the Bears’ win over the Packers last weekend, reeling in eight catches for 137 yards and a touchdown. His ceiling might not be quite that high here, but it’s not out of the question for him to have 75+, making it an easy decision to take the over in this spot.
