Gibbs has exceeded this 23.5-receiving yard prop in three consecutive games, each with 30-plus yards. This trend indicates not only his skill as a receiver but also a potential mismatch against the Bears’ defense. While the Bears are notably strong against the run, allowing the fewest yards per carry in the NFL, they have a glaring vulnerability against running backs in the receiving game.
This vulnerability of the Bears’ defense is crucial. They allow the most yards per pass attempt when running backs are targeted through the air. Such a defensive gap is a perfect setup for a player like Gibbs, who has proven his capability in the passing game.
A look at the Bears’ performance from Weeks 1 to 10 further underlines this point. In previous weeks, bets on the over for receiving yards by running backs like Miles Sanders, Alvin Kamara, and Austin Ekeler have been successful against the Bears. In fact, in 10 games this season, the Bears have allowed running backs to surpass 22 receiving yards in all but two instances. Notably, they have conceded over 22 receiving yards to 11 different running backs.

Instances such as Kamara and Kendre Miller both achieving over 31+ receiving yards, or Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson recording 33 and 64 receiving yards, respectively, highlight the Bears’ consistent struggle in this area. This trend continued against the Denver Broncos.
Given this pattern, Gibbs is in a prime position to exploit the Bears’ defensive weakness. His receiving yards number, even adjusted to 23.5, is considered too low, presenting significant value for bettors. Gibbs’ ability in the receiving game and the Bears’ defensive struggles make this an optimal matchup for him to succeed and potentially exceed expectations once again.
