Chicago stunned the San Francisco 49ers in a wet and wild home opener last Sunday, while Green Bay was blown away by the Minnesota Vikings. Those results, however, have had little impact on the point spread for this primetime clash.
combined for 94 yards on the ground and another 73 through the air, with Dillon notching Green Bay’s lone touchdown.
That receiving total could have been higher, given Jones caught three of five balls thrown his way for 27 yards. While Jones had only five carries to Dillon’s 10, he was used more in the passing game. With both RBs on the field, Dillon was in the backfield to set up play action in those rare two-RB sets, and Jones was lined up as a receiver on 13 plays and on the field for 29 of the Packers’ 38 passing snaps.
Chicago’s defensive efforts vs. San Francisco in Week 1 are a bit skewed due to the terrible conditions in the Windy City. The Bears slowed the passing game and didn’t give up many yards after the catch to a 49ers machine that thrives on YAC. But again, some of that has to do with the new turf on Solider Field turning into a Slip ‘N Slide.
Chicago will want to get after Rodgers and not allow him to get comfortable with time to hit home run plays, and that added pressure will have the Packers' QB hitting the release valve to Jones. In two matchups with the Bears in 2021, Jones posted 30 yards on three catches and 34 yards on four receptions. His receiving yards prop for Week 2 is at 29.5, which feels too low considering his place within this passing game and his targets from Week 1.
