Why the Bears can cover

Chicago last played on September 28, and has had extended time to prepare for this matchup. The offense is generating just under 330 yards per game and will face a Commanders defense that is allowing north of 350. 

Caleb Williams has an 8-2 TD-INT ration through four games and the Bears should be able to run the ball against a Commanders defense that has been inconsistent against the rush. See which team to back at SportsLine. 

Why the Commanders can cover

Washington is 7-2-0 ATS over its last nine games and 5-0-0 ATS in its last five at home. Jayden Daniels missed two games due to a knee injury and has just a 59.2 completion percentage, although he has yet to turn the ball over this season. He threw for 231 yards against the Chargers and could have his best game of the season against a Bears defense that is allowing 379.5 total yards per game. 

The Bears have had a particularly hard time defending the rush, which could open the door for rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt to have another big game. See which team to back at SportsLine.
