Higgins has not scored in his last three games overall or at home. His hit rate in the last five games is also 0/5 overall and 1/5 at home. Furthermore, his current hit streak for both overall and home games is zero, suggesting a dry spell. However, it's worth noting Higgins' longer-term performance, with a 7/20 hit rate in his last 20 games overall and at home. His overall hit rate is 17/49, and 8/22 at home, indicating an approximate 1 in 3 chance. The model edge of 0.047756278466937 suggests a slight edge, but the recent performance trends do not strongly support a bet on Higgins to score a touchdown in this game.

Chase Brown (CIN) Under 13.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Betting on Chase Brown to have under 13.5 reception yards in the Cincinnati Bengals vs Chicago Bears game is statistically advantageous.

Even expanding the perspective to the last 10 and 20 games, Brown's hit rate is at best 35% (7/20) for home games, and lower for overall games. His current streak also suggests a slump, with zero hits in the last few games. The model edge, while slight at around 0.014, further implies that the 'under' bet is slightly more likely to be successful. Hence, considering these statistics, it's reasonable to bet on Brown going under 13.5 reception yards in the upcoming game.
