Justin Herbert Odds and SNF Props: Chargers Quarterback Conquers Chicago's Shoddy Stoppers

Justin Herbert SNF prop pick

Over 266.5 Passing Yards (-110)

Heading into this season, a lot of people thought we were going to see Justin Herbert elevate himself from a Top 10 quarterback to somebody at the very top tier. With the Chargers at 2-4, we’ll probably need to throw away our Justin Herbert MVP tickets. But in truth, the former Oregon man doesn’t deserve much criticism with the Chargers’ faults not really lying with him.

He’s thrown 10 touchdown passes in six games and has accumulated 1,592 yards. Aside from one game against the Raiders in which he attempted just 24 passes, Herbert has put up relatively big yardage in every game.

His passing yards line for the clash with the Bears sits at 266.5. It’s a number that he’s hit just twice in six games, and has yet to hit when playing at home. However, his average per game sits just below this total at 265.3 yards. 

We know that Herbert has a great arm, and I think we’re likely to see him put up some good numbers against a Bears’ defense that ranks 29th against the pass. They’ve given up 257.1 yards per game. The Bears simply aren’t good against the pass, and with Herbert’s abilities, we should see the Chargers rely on No. 10 to keep moving the chains.

We’ve seen enough of the Bears this season to know that a top quarterback should be able to have a good day against their defense, so let’s take the Over on Herbert’s passing yard line.

+475 at bet365

I’ve got a Justin Herbert themed same-game parlay for you ahead of Sunday Night Football and it comes in at +475.

First up, we will take the best bet for this game, which is for Herbert to have success when throwing the football. His line sits at 266.5 passing yards, and we’re taking the Over against a defense ranked 29th in the league against the pass.

Next, we’re going to back Herbert to notch Over 1.5 passing touchdowns. While Herbert only has 10 touchdowns in six games, an average slightly under the two touchdowns that we’ll need, he’s facing a terrible Chicago defense. The Bears have given up an average of two passing touchdowns per game to QBs this season, and it’s a fair assumption that a quarterback of Herbert’s ability will be able to match that.

For our last leg, we’re going to add Herbert to throw an INT. In his first three years in the league, he threw a total of 35 interceptions. Through six games this year, he’s currently at four.

What’s more interesting is that none of those INTs came in the first three games, when he had the option of Mike Williams available to him. The team has struggled to replace Williams, with Quentin Johnson managing two receptions for 38 yards in those three games. I think the lack of a big-bodied wide-out with Williams’ skillset is hurting Herbert and increases the chances of him tossing another interception here.
