Keenan Allen offers horrible conundrum for sports bettors

Keenan Allen is currently gearing up for his very first season with the Chicago Bears, although not everyone is convinced that he will be one of the team's top receivers.
According to Jacob Wayne of the Chicago Tribune, Draft Kings currently has Allen's over/under for yards at 825.5. Overall, Allen has been injury prone and he has never had to compete with so many star receivers on one squad. This has subsequently led to a bit of a conundrum for all of the sports bettors out there who don't know whether to be the over or the under.
Well, as Wayne explains, fans should take the under this season. Essentially, his reasoning boils down to the fact that Rome Odunze and DJ Moore will be getting a ton of touches. Moreover, Allen is 32 and may be subjected to more injuries. Of course, there is no predicting the future. But Wayne certainly seems comfortable in his assessment.

"While Allen carries plenty of cache as a six-time Pro Bowler, I'm not overly bullish on his upside with his new team," Wayne wrote. "He is still elite at separating from defenders in the short and intermediate game, but his upside as a slot receiver in Waldron's offense is limited. He's also facing far more target competition than he has in years as he prepares for his age-32 season."
Do you think Keenan Allen can get over 825.5 yards this season? Let us know in the poll below. Additionally, stay tuned to Let's Bear Down for the latest news and updates from around the NFL world.
