Jaguars vs. Bears Early Picks, Predictions & Odds for London Week 6
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London for a Week 6 showdown as the NFL's London games continue.
We look at the best Jaguars vs. Bears early picks, predictions and odds for a game that oddsmakers expect to be very close. The Bears have won two games in a row, and they’re favored by 1.5 on Sunday. As we see in our Week 6 odds, that spread has grown to 2 or 2.5 at some of our best NFL betting sites.
However, the 1-4 Jaguars finally won a game in Week 5, and they get to go against a rookie quarterback as they try to save their season before the bye week. Can the putrid pass defense stop QB Caleb Williams, or are they doomed to fall again?
My early Jaguars vs. Bears prediction: Over 44.5

The Bears are allowing only 17.0 points per game this season, and they’ve held all but one of their opponents to fewer than 20 points. Yet, the over is the right play in this game.
The Jaguars’ defense has been terrible, allowing 28.6 points per game, the third-most in the league. Even in last week’s win, they allowed 34 points. But the offense is starting to show some life, scoring 57 points over the last two weeks after failing to score more than 20 once during the first three games.
Bears QB Williams has proven to be capable of producing against bad defenses. Last week, he threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers. He should have another huge game on Sunday, but he’s still so prone to mistakes that the Over is a safer play than for the Bears to cover the spread.

Moneyline
- Bears best odds: -126 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 55.75%
- Jaguars best odds: +120 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 45.45%
Each of our best sports betting apps has the moneyline set at a different number for each team. Prices for the Jaguars range from +108 to +120, while prices for the Bears range from -116 to -145.
Most bettors are backing the Bears in this game, so the price will get more favorable for Jaguars’ bettors and worse for Bears’ bettors as the week develops. This is a really hard game to pick, as both teams have been inconsistent, but if you want to bet on the Jaguars, then wait.
Spread
- Bears best odds: -1.5 (-115) via FanDuel
- Jaguars best odds: +2.5 (-110) via BetMGM
The spread opened at 1.5, and it has grown to at least 2 at every major sportsbook except for FanDuel. The Bears looked dominant last week, and Williams put together his best performance of the season.
Against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, it’s not surprising that bettors are backing him and his team to succeed again. While I don’t think the Bears are a guarantee by any means, the spread should continue to get larger as the week progresses. If you want to get in on the Jaguars, you can probably get this at the key number later in the week.
Over/Under
- Over best odds: 44.5 (-105) via FanDuel
- Under best odds: 44.5 (-110) via Caesars
The total opened at 45, and it has dropped to 44.5 at every major sportsbook except for BetMGM despite 60% of wagers backing the over. The total at BetMGM is still 45, but the price of the Under is -125, so it’s just a matter of time before it drops.
The Jaguars have been a part of three consecutive games with at least 44 points. While the Bears’ defense has been good, this could become a shootout just because the Jaguars are on the field. That said, I don’t expect much movement from where this total is now.
