Bears open as 0.5-point favorites vs. Commanders in Week 6

The Bears are favorites for just the second time this season ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Commanders.

The Chicago Bears (2-3) will battle the Washington Commanders (1-4) on Thursday night, where Chicago is looking to build off an encouraging loss in Week 5.

While the Bears lost 29-22 to the Minnesota Vikings (4-1), it wasn’t a demoralizing loss. In fact, it was an encouraging one, especially as it pertains to quarterback Justin Fields’ development.

The Bears have opened as 0.5-point favorites against the Commanders in Week 6, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 38.5. It doesn’t show a lot of confidence in Chicago, given the home team is usually afforded 3 points.

But there are reasons to be encouraged looking ahead to the rest of this season, especially with Fields, who is coming off his best game of the season. With the Commanders on deck, this is another opportunity for Fields and the passing offense to take a step forward. And it’s a chance for Chicago to play an entire game, rather than being a second-half team.

This is the second time this season that the Bears are favorites (previously in Week 3 against the Houston Texans). They’ve been underdogs in four games this season (San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings).

Bears open as 7.5-point underdogs vs. Vikings in Week 5

The Bears are underdogs for the fourth time this season ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Vikings.

The Chicago Bears (2-2) will battle the Minnesota Vikings (3-1) this Sunday, where Chicago will be looking to clean things up after their Week 4 loss against the New York Giants (3-1).

With the Bears are coming off a frustrating loss to an underwhelming Giants team, oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Vikings.

The Bears have opened as 7.5-point underdogs against the Vikings in Week 5, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 44.

There are plenty of concerns surrounding this Chicago team, especially the development of quarterback Justin Fields. The passing game remains the worst in the NFL, by far, and the offensive line, now down Cody Whitehair, has struggled mightily. And with Dalvin Cook on deck, this Bears run defense could be in for another long afternoon.

This is the fourth time this season that the Bears are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and New York Giants). They were favored in Week 3 against the Texans.

Bears open as 3.5-point underdogs vs. Giants in Week 4

The Bears are underdogs for the third time this season ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Giants.

The Chicago Bears (2-1) will battle the New York Giants (2-1) this Sunday, where Chicago will be looking to clean things up after their Week 3 win over the Houston Texans (0-2-1).

While the Bears are coming off a narrow victory over the Texans, oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Giants.

The Bears have opened as 3.5-point underdogs against the Giants in Week 4, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 38.5.

While Chicago is coming off a victory, there were some legitimate concerns raised about quarterback Justin Fields and the passing offense. It’s something they’ll look to improve upon heading into this game against the Giants, who are coming off their first loss of the season.

This is the third time this season that the Bears are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49er and Green Bay Packers). They were favored in Week 3 against the Texans.

Bears-Texans: 6 prop bets for Sunday’s game

Feeling lucky? Try predicting these six proposition bets for Sunday’s Bears-Texans game.

Following a brutal defeat to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears are looking to get back in the win column in Week 3.

The Bears (1-1) and Houston Texans (0-1-1) matchup will feature two teams that many believe will be competing for the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

Chicago is a 3.5-point favorite at home against the Texans, according to Tipico Sportsbook.

After two weeks of action, quarterback Justin Fields leads the Bears with 191 passing yards, running back David Montgomery leads Chicago with 148 rushing yards, and Equanimeous St. Brown leads the team with 57 receiving yards.

With all that in mind, Bears Wire presents six proposition bets for Sunday’s Bears-Texans game.

Bears open as 2.5-point home favorites vs. Texans in Week 3

The Bears are favorites for the first time this season in their Week 3 matchup against the Texans.

The Chicago Bears (1-1) will host the Houston Texans (0-1-1) this Sunday, where Chicago will be looking to rebound following a brutal loss to the Green Bay Packers (1-1) in Week 2.

Despite the Bears coming off that loss, oddsmakers are feeling good about Chicago’s chances of taking care of business at home.

The Bears have opened as 2.5-point home favorites against the Texans in Week 3, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 40.5.

Both Chicago and Houston are coming off disappointing losses in Week 2, and the Texans remain winless through the first couple of games. These are two bad teams playing each other, and the Bears have a chance to follow up a disappointing loss with a victory.

This is the first time this season that the Bears are favorites, as they were underdogs at home against the San Francisco 49ers and on the road against the Packers.

Bears open as 6.5-point home underdogs vs. 49ers in Week 1

There’s not a lot of confidence in the Bears heading into their Week 1 opener against the 49ers.

The Chicago Bears will open the 2022 season against the San Francisco 49ers, which will be the first time in the last three years that Chicago opens the season at home.

The Bears and 49ers matchup will feature a battle between two of the first-round quarterbacks from the 2021 draft in Chicago’s Justin Fields and San Francisco’s Trey Lance, which certainly explains the season-opener appeal.

While the Bears will kick off the season at home, that’s not enough to convince oddsmakers that Chicago has a great chance to win this game. The Bears have opened as 6.5-point underdogs against the 49ers in Week 1, according to Tipico Sportsbook.

Last season, Chicago had a strong first half against San Francisco before the defense succumbed to the 49ers offense in the second half in a 33-22 loss. Fields recorded his first 100-yard rushing game, including an improbable 22-yard touchdown scramble to bring the Bears to within one point in the fourth quarter.

San Francisco is the first of six playoff teams from last year that Chicago will face in the 2022 season.
