Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers : NA Moneyline (+124)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Pittsburgh Steelers in the 'h2h' market is statistically justifiable based on the L5 performance data and records. The home team (Steelers) has a superior overall and home record in the last five games (4-1 and 3-2 respectively) compared to the away team (2-3 in both categories). The Steelers also have an advantageous home score difference (5.4) and an overall score difference (1.8). This compares favorably to the away team's negative score difference in their last five away games (-4.4). Additionally, the Steelers have a higher model edge (0.0975) which indicates a greater likelihood of success. They also show superior performance in terms of turnovers, with a positive difference in both overall and home games, which suggests better ball possession and control. The Steelers' effective play action (EPA) difference is also positive in both categories, indicating efficient offensive plays. Therefore, all these factors combined provide a

Rome Odunze (CHI) Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The betting data for Rome Odunze in the 'player_anytime_td' market presents a very low probability of success. The overall hit rate for Odunze scoring a touchdown at any time is just 2 out of 27, which equates to a mere 7.4% success rate. His recent performance doesn't inspire confidence either - he has not scored a touchdown in his last 10 games overall and his last 13 home games. In fact, he has a current hit streak of 0 both overall and at home. Given these low hit rates and his lackluster recent performance, the statistical rationale doesn't support betting on Odunze to score a touchdown in the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the model edge of 0.094, the overall statistics point towards a low likelihood of this bet being successful.

Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers : Under 44.5 Total Points (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The under 44.5 bet in the totals market for this NFL game makes sense when we consider the combined average scores of both teams in their last five matches. The home team's overall score for and against in their last five games is 26.4 and 24.6 respectively, while the away team's is 25.4 and 25. This totals to an average combined score of 50.8 and 49.6. However, when considering the home and away records, the average combined score drops to 43.6 and 48.4 respectively, both of which are under 44.5. Furthermore, the away team has been struggling with their offensive performance, with an overall EPA (Estimated Points Added) for of 3.34 and a negative EPA difference of -3.41 in their last five away games. This indicates a difficulty in scoring, which could contribute to a lower total score in the upcoming game. Additionally, both teams have a

Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers : Under 45.5 Total Points (-118)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 45.5 bet is a rational choice in this matchup, given the offensive and defensive trends of both teams. Considering the last five games, the home team has averaged 26.4 points while the away team has averaged 25.4 points, which totals 51.8 points per game. Although this is above the 45.5 point line, there are other factors to consider. The away team has been struggling offensively, averaging only 25.4 points with 296 total yards and 1.4 turnovers in their last five games overall. They struggle even more when playing away, with an average score of 22 points and 274.2 total yards. Defensively, both teams have been performing well. The home team allows an average of 24.6 points and the away team allows 25 points. In away games, the away team allows an average of 26.4 points. The key here is the expected points added (E

D'Andre Swift (CHI) Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Based on the given data, betting a "Yes" on D'Andre Swift in the 'player_anytime_td' market doesn't seem to be a strong wager. Swift has been underperforming lately, with an overall hit rate of 0/3 in the last three games and 0/5 in the last five. Even looking further back, his overall hit rate of 1/10 in the last ten games and 3/20 in the last twenty is not encouraging. Swift has been struggling to find the end zone, currently sitting on a zero-game touchdown streak. His performance at home is slightly better, with a hit rate of 2/10 in the last ten games and 6/20 in the last twenty, but his current home touchdown streak is also zero. Without a positive trend or recent successful performance, it's hard to justify betting on Swift to score a touchdown in the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
