Packers vs Bears player prop bet: Kyle Monangai over 9.5 rushing attempts (-115)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
Kyle Monangai had a stellar regular season for a rookie backup running back. He finished top 5 in rushing yards amongst rookies, while only totaling 17 touches through his first 4 games. He limped towards the finish line after a solid outing versus the Packers in Week 14, specifically last week, where he ran the ball just 6 times in a negative game script — his fewest touches since Week 6. Nonetheless, we’re backing Monangai to be a focal point in the Bears’ offense against a Packers defense that has allowed 198 rushing yards per game over their last 3 — the most in the NFL during that span by nearly 20 yards.
Monangai gives the Bears a different pace back than D’Andre Swift, who has had a career year for the Bears. The Bears’ defense has failed to put Monangai and the Chicago offense in positive game scripts over the last 2 weeks, limiting Monangai’s rushing attempts. They were in a shootout against the 49ers 2 weeks ago, and followed that up going down 16-0 to the Lions last week, resulting in Monangai carrying the ball 6 times. But with Packers vs Bears having the 3rd-lowest total of the slate and priced as a pick ’em, the game should stay in the Bears’ comfort of running the ball with their 2-headed monster.
