TNF Bears vs Commanders Odds Betting Prediction

The NFL schedule for Week 5 kicks off with an intriguing matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders.

At this point in the season, the Bears find themselves among the remaining winless teams in the league, a situation exacerbated by their Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos, which was particularly disheartening as they squandered a commanding 28-7 lead. In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears languish at the bottom of the standings.

Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders are grappling with a two-game losing streak after a promising start to the season with two initial victories. Their most recent setback came in the form of an overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington is listed at -6 in this game over Chicago.

Bears Winless in the 2023 NFL Season

The Chicago Bears have played four games this season and conceded a whopping 137 points. In contrast, their offense has only managed to put up 75 points on the scoreboard. The Bears entered the season with high hopes for their rookie quarterback, Justin Fields, who hails from Ohio State.

Fields has shown promise, throwing for 861 yards and seven touchdowns, but five interceptions have plagued him. Fields is also the team’s second-leading rusher with 134 yards, a versatile aspect to his game that generated high NFL MVP odds at the season’s outset.

Chase Claypool was another player the Bears had high expectations for, but he has only recorded four receptions throughout the season and wasn’t even active for the Broncos game. On a brighter note, Khalil Herbert had a standout performance in the previous game, becoming the team’s leading rusher with 196 yards on the ground.

The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6 and the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.

Washington Looking to Get Back on Track

Turning our attention to the Washington Commanders, the spotlight has been on Sam Howell. Howell has displayed solid performances in three out of his four games this season, although he struggled during a lopsided loss to the Buffalo Bills.

He has amassed 961 passing yards and four touchdowns so far. Terry McLaurin has emerged as his top target, amassing 212 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Offensively, Brian Robinson has been the linchpin for the Commanders. Robinson has carried the ball 61 times for 261 yards and three touchdowns, and he also boasts a receiving touchdown in the 2023 season. Robinson and other offensive contributors have injected excitement into Washington Commanders’ games.

Following this week’s matchup, the Washington Commanders are set to face the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants in subsequent games.

Bears Struggles Continue

Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears are currently mired in a difficult stretch. Their defense struggles to make crucial stops, and their offense is plagued by inconsistency, often succumbing to turnovers when they manage to advance the ball. The experiment with Justin Fields hasn’t yielded the desired results.

Their defensive units will likely struggle, with both teams facing short practice weeks. Both sides are expected to put points on the board in this game. However, when push comes to shove, we predict that the Washington Commanders will emerge victorious by a margin of at least a touchdown.

In conclusion, we plan to bet on Washington -6 over Chicago.
