NFL Tips

Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season is here, and Sunday brings the second of three London games. This time, the 1-4 Jacksonville Jaguars go head-to-head with the 3-2 Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and here are our Jaguars v Bears tips in a bet builder format. The betting sites favour Chicago, with the Bears as slight 1-point favourites and the total points line set at 44.5. Our bet builder has been crafted with Betfair, widely regarded as one of the best NFL betting sites due to its excellent market range.

The Bears rank among the league’s top defensive teams, tying with two others for the fifth-best scoring defence in the NFL, allowing only 17.0 points per game. However, this otherwise robust defensive unit has a vulnerability. Chicago concedes an average of 120.8 rushing yards per game (18th in the NFL) and 4.8 yards per carry (23rd). Of the eight touchdowns they've allowed this season, six have come on the ground. With Travis Etienne nursing a shoulder injury, Tank Bigsby has stepped up in the Jaguars’ backfield. After a strong showing in Week 4, rushing for 90 yards on just seven carries, Bigsby followed up with 13 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns in Jacksonville’s 37-34 win over Indianapolis in Week 5. Etienne has been limited in practice all week, so I expect Bigsby to continue making a significant impact. The Jaguars’ defence has had a tough season, ranking 30th in the NFL for points allowed at 28.6 per game and sitting last in passing yards allowed, with an average of 287.8 yards conceded. With this in mind, D.J. Moore appears poised for another strong outing. In Chicago’s 36-10 victory over Carolina last week, Moore notched five receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns. In Week 4, he made only three catches for 22 yards but still managed to reach the end zone. Moore has been Caleb Williams’ top target, with 42 passes aimed his way over just five games. Considering the Jaguars have allowed ten passing touchdowns, I’m backing Moore to score once more in London this Sunday. The Jaguars have conceded more yards to opposing wide receivers than any other team over the past five weeks, adding even more reason to anticipate a standout performance from D.J. Moore. While Moore faced challenges against the Rams two weeks ago, he shone against the Panthers last week and previously notched eight catches for 78 yards against the Colts in Week 3. As mentioned, Jacksonville ranks last in the league for passing yards allowed, although their run defence has remained solid. This likely means the Bears will lean on Caleb Williams’ passing game, with Moore set to receive ample targets in this matchup.
