Although he has had slightly better performance at home over his last 10 and 20 games, with hit rates of 2/10 and 7/17 respectively, his current home hit streak is still zero.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Betting on Tee Higgins to score a touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals vs Chicago Bears game is a risky proposition based on his recent performance. Over his last five games, Higgins has not scored a touchdown, and his overall hit rate over his last 20 games is only 35% (7/20). His performance at home is slightly better, with a hit rate of 50% over his last 10 home games, but this is considerably brought down by his overall home hit rate of 36% (8/22). Moreover, Higgins is currently on a zero-game touchdown streak, both overall and at home. Given these statistics, it's clear that Higgins has struggled to find the end zone recently. Although the model gives a slight edge of 0.025, the data suggests a low probability of Higgins scoring a touchdown in the upcoming game. Therefore, this bet carries a significant risk.
