Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders Betting Preview
The Chicago Bears have played four games this season and have already allowed 137 points.
On the other side, the Bears have scored just 75. Chicago had high hopes for signal caller Justin Fields heading into the season. The former Ohio State signal-caller has thrown for 861 yards and seven touchdowns, but five interceptions has hampered him.
Fields, when looking at his NFL Player Stats, is second on the team in rushing yards with 134. This is a guy that had NFL MVP Odds pretty high to start the season.
Chase Claypool was another guy the Bears had high hopes for, but he has just four receptions all season. Claypool was not even active for the loss to the Broncos. Chicago’s Khalil Herbert had his best game of the season on Sunday and now leads the team with 196 yards on the ground.
Chicago will host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6 and Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.
For Washington, Sam Howell has been the talk of the team. Howell was pretty solid in three of his four games played this season.
Howell struggled in the blowout loss to Buffalo. The signal-caller has tossed for 961 yards and four touchdowns on the season. Looking at the NFL team stats, Terry McLaurin has been his top target with 212 yards and a touchdown.
Brian Robinson has been the key offensively for Washington. Robinson has 61 carries with 261 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. He also has a receiving touchdown for the Commanders in 2023. Robinson and others on the offense have made Washington Commanders games interesting to watch.
Washington will play at Atlanta and at the New York Giants following this week.
Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders Betting Prediction
Things are just not going well for the Chicago Bears right now. The Bears cannot get a stop when they need to, and their offense is too inconsistent. When the Bears do move the ball a bit, they find a way to turn the football over.
The Justin Fields experiment has not fared well. With both teams on short practice weeks, look for the defensive units to struggle. Barring any late additions to the NFL injury report, both teams put points on the board in this game.
But, when push comes to shove, the Washington Commanders win this game by a touchdown or more. Our final Bears vs Commanders betting analysis – Bet Washington -6.5 over Chicago. Commanders vs. Bears matchup promises an intense battle on the football field, with both teams eager to secure a victory.
