Betting on the Washington Commanders
- Season record: 1-4.
- BetMGM Spread: +1.0.
- Moneyline: (-105).
- Over/Under: 38.5.
The Commanders remain at the bottom of the NFC East after failing to complete the comeback against the Titans at home.
On what was the last play of the game, on Tennessee’s 2-yard line, Carson Wentz threw his only interception of the game, to David Long Jr, which prevented a touchdown that would have given Washington the victory. In this way, the 385 total yards were of little use after finishing the last quarter blank and scoring less than 20 points for the third week in a row.
On the defensive side, Washington again got the job done despite Derrick Henry’s 102 yards. The Titans gained only 241 yards and were held scoreless in the fourth quarter, hoping for a response from the offense. On Thursday, against the Bears, they’ll have a slightly easier matchup as they’ll be facing one of the weakest offenses of the season.
Betting on the Chicago Bears
- Season record: 2-3.
- BetMGM Spread: -1.0.
- Moneyline: (-115)
- Over/Under: 38.5.
The Bears have a good chance to get back to winning ways after two consecutive losses when they host the Commanders on Thursday.
The Chicago team is coming off a tough loss to the Vikings. While the defense held Minnesota at bay until Kirk Cousins’ final offensive series, the defense’s vulnerabilities on the ground persisted, as they allowed more than 115 yards for the fourth time this season.
On offense, the Bears surpassed 20 points scored for the second time thanks to the best performance of quarterback Justin Fields, who threw for 208 yards and a touchdown. However, they failed to pass for 300 total yards for the third time in 2022. It should also be noted that Washington’s defense has been strong this season.
JefeBet Prediction
The odds in Las Vegas speak for themselves: the game next Thursday is fairly evenly matched, and, as strange as it may sound, neither team appears to have a chance to overcome the other.
Both offenses have struggled mightily this year, and while the Commanders’ defense has the goods to stop David Montgomery’s ground game, Carson Wentz won’t have an easy day against the Bears’ secondary. However, the Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams.
Prediction: Over (WSH 21 – CHI 20).
