Commanders at Bears picks and predictions
Prediction
Bears 19, Commanders 16
Moneyline
This looks like another snoozer of a game after last Thursday’s Indianapolis Colts – Denver Broncos matchup.
The question is whether Washington’s bad defense will look good or whether Chicago’s bad offense will succeed. The Bears rank 15th in points allowed (21.2), so one would figure that their defense will be fine against Washington’s struggling offense.
The Commanders have only scored 62 points over their last 4 games.
The Bears have at least cracked 20 points 3 times this season.
Take the BEARS (-107).
Against the spread
With a half-point spread, this is almost exactly like betting the moneyline, although betting the spread allows for a win for the Commanders if there is a tie game.
The Bears are 2-2-1 ATS this season, while the Commanders are 1-4 ATS.
The Commanders are winless on the road and the Bears are 2-0 at home.
Take the BEARS -0.5 (-108).
Over/Under
This line comes in super low at 37.5, but after last Thursday’s 12-9 mess of a game and the offensive struggles of both teams this season, there isn’t a lot of confidence in either team.
Two of the Bears’ games have had 40 or more points.
The Commanders’ last game had 38 total points but their 2 previous outings had fewer than that.
Can either team get into the 20s? That’s something I doubt on a short week.
Take UNDER 37.5 (-110).
