TNF comes for another game and after a few of the games on Thursday’s we might see a good one, or it could be the lob-sided consensus pick of a Washington by a touchdown or more.
Why would you take the the Commanders? Washington -6.5 is the Consensus pick, 68 % of 712K wagered as of 1:30 PM is on them. Washington averaging 22 per game thus far, 240 yards per game for the pass offense. Last year on a windy night in Chicago, Carson Wentz won but only passed for 86 yards, we will see how Howell fares tonight against a Bears defense giving up 270 a game.
What about the Bears? Chicago almost double the Commanders last year in that game. When you look at what’s gone wrong with the Bears, you can point to the defense, but they haven’t made up from the production loss of Montgomery going to Detroit. While the Commanders are improved Fields went wasn’t as horrible in that game, 7 yards per attempt in getting sacked 5 times. The Bears averaging 19 a game this year.
My prediction is 23 – 19 Commanders. Chicago +6
