Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears will head to London for the second UK game of the 2024 NFL season and both teams have a point to prove.

As regular travelers to the UK, the Jaguars will feel they can come out on top, but Jacksonville are bottom of the AFC South after a poor start to the season.

Chicago is also bottom of the NFC North, but unlike the Jags, they have a winning record.

Jacksonville beat the Indianapolis Colts 37-34 to win their first game of the season last week, moving to 1-4 on the year.

The Bears proved too much for the Carolina Panthers in a routine 36-10 win, and they are on the lookout for their third successive win.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears betting picks and predictions

Bears -2 (-110)

The Jaguars kept their season alive last weekend but they did so by the skin of their teeth.

After defeats to the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, the Jags beat the Colts by a field goal to get their season underway.

Doug Pederson's team are rock bottom of the AFC South and have played a game more than the Tennessee Titans, but they will view the trip to London as a chance to build some momentum.

Against the Colts, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence silenced his critics with a solid performance. He threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns, bringing the best out of Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Jr.

While the Jaguars' win will have lifted confidence, the Bears have more momentum under coach Matt Eberflus.

Chicago started the season with a win over the Titans, before defeats to the Texans and Colts. They have since recorded victories over the Los Angeles Rams and Panthers, and with each passing week, number one pick Caleb Williams looks to be finding his feet.

Jacksonville may have finally ended their wait for a win last week, but they did so against a Colts team who played without Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor.

That should have made life easier for the Jags, but they could still only win by a field goal.

Over 44.5 points (-110)

The Jaguars took a little while to settle into their rhythm on offense, but they have showed signs of progress in recent weeks.

Against the Texans, Pederson's team scored 20 points in a 24-20 defeat, while the fact they scored 37 against the Colts proves they can get the job done.

The Bears have scored 24 points or more on three occasions, but they may be able to rack up the points this week.

Jacksonville's defense has allowed 6.0 yards per play on average this season, which should give Williams tons of confidence heading into this Week 6 matchup.

Williams has improved his deep passing accuracy in recent weeks, which should help the Bears extend their drives and rack up the points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tank Bigsby to score anytime (+150)

Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby got his breakthrough moment last week as he ran for 101 yards from 13 carries, scoring two touchdowns in the process.

Bigsby has now recorded 191 yards in two games and he has proven he can handle the pressure of being Jacksonville's lead back.

Regular starter Travis Etienne Jr. was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a shoulder problem, but Bigsby has already shown he can take the workload and quite literally run with it.
