NFL London 2024: Jaguars And Bears Meet At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears will meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday for the 38th NFL London game.
This will be the Jaguars' 12th visit to the capital and they can improve their overseas record to 7-5 with a win over Chicago, who are 1-1 in London games.
The Panel have identified four bets from Sunday's match up using the best odds from the leading betting sites.
Jaguars @ Bears Prediction: Bears To Score First
Sunday's game will be the 19th inter-conference game in the NFL London series, and the Bears will be keen to maintain the dominance enjoyed by their conference over the years.
The Vikings' 23-17 win at the same stadium last weekend improved the NFC's record over the AFC to 13-5-1.
Betting apps have made Chicago favourites to return to the States with a win to keep pace with Minnesota at the top of the NFC North.
The Bears are the only team to have failed to score first in their opening five games. The Jaguars have been slow starters and have given up the first score in three of their last four games. Teams who have scored first in London have won the last four games.

Jaguars @ Bears Odds: Jaguars To End Pick Drought
The Jaguars are one of three teams yet to register an inception so far this season and Sunday is a great opportunity to rectify that.
Many of their defensive players are used to playing in London, while it is a whole new ball game for Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
Williams is still coming to terms with leading the offense, but this will be his first game outside of the States.
With a large number of UK-based Jaguars fans expected in the stadium, this will feel like a home game for Jacksonville and they'll make it difficult for Williams, especially on third down.
The Jaguars have picks in each of their last three games in London, and they'll be keen to extend that sequence on Sunday.
The Panel Pick 2: Jacksonville Jaguars To Register An Interception - 4/5 With Bet365
Jaguars @ Bears Preview: Etienne Runs Well In London
Jacksonville enters Sunday's game with a much needed win against their division rivals the Indianapolis Colts last weekend.
For the fourth time in five weeks, they rushed for 126 yards or more, thanks to Tank Bigby's 65-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
It eased the workload on fellow running back Travis Etienne, who has put up big numbers on his trips to London.
Etienne averages 23 carries, 115 yards and a touchdown from his three games in the capital and he'll get his fair share of carries against Chicago.
His 'over' has been set at 43.5 rushing yards which he is more than capable of achieving.
The Panel Pick 3: Travis Etienne Over 43.5 Rushing Yards - 10/11 With Bet365
Jaguars @ Bears Betting: Williams' Mobility Can Help Bears
When the Chicago Bears selected Caleb Williams with their number one overall pick in this year's draft, optimism in the Windy City went through the roof.
While the Bears are off to their best start in four years, their defense, which is ranked fifth in scoring, has been more of a factor than their offense.
Williams is still a work in progress on offense, but being a mobile quarterback means he has the ability to scramble to safety and keep a play alive if his passing options have been shut down.
The former Oklahoma and USC star averages 22.6 rushing yards per game this season, thanks to 34 in last week's 26-point win over the struggling Panthers.
The Panel backs Williams to run for over 18.5 yards against the Jaguars, who give up 129 rushing yards per game, and 22 rushing yards per game to quarterbacks.
The Panel Pick 4: Caleb Williams Over - 10/11 With Bet365
