Commanders at Bears Thursday Night. Fortenbaugh, Schatz, Marks and Fitz are taking the Bears. Washington has lost four straight games and is struggling for answers. Chicago has been in two one-score games on the road against teams that are 4-1. Jaylon Johnson is back from injury and hasn't allowed a single target in his 51 coverage snaps this season. Justin Fields is coming off his best game. Walder is leaning toward the team with the better offensive line. He is taking Washington. The Bears are slightly better than the Commanders in DVOA ratings. Matt Eberflus was the defensive coordinator in Indy when Wentz was playing.

Carson Wentz and Justin Fields are 24th and 25th in ESPN's Total QBR. Wenttz has surpassed 223.5 passing yards in three out of five games this season. The Commanders have more passing attempts per game than the Commander's (42) than they do rushing yards per play (43). The Bears rank seventh in run stop win rate and 29th on run block win%.

Wentz is averaging 278 passing yards per game this season. Chicago's defense is giving up 367 yards a game. The Bears are last in the NFL on third downs and in bottom third in red zone defense. Wentz needs to put up at least 224 passingyards.

Snellings takes the over on Fields' passing yards. Fields is almost a third of the way through the season and is starting to get some experience.

Both Washington and Chicago are struggling early in the season. The Commanders are 1-4 and the Bears are 2-3. Washington is 10-1 to make the playoffs and 50- 1 to win the NFC East. Chicago is 40-1000 to reach the postseason and 100-000 to be crowned NFC North champion.

Commanders play Bears on Thursday night. Both teams are struggling and are out of the playoff conversation. The Commanders have inconsistent quarterback play from Fields and Wentz. They play in a very competitive division and don't have stout defenses. They need to beat three division rivals starting 4-1 or better to get a playoff spot.

Snellings doesn't have much confidence in the Commanders and not a lot of confidence on the Bears. The NFC East is very tough this season. Three teams are already three games ahead of the commanders. Bears are only two games behind the Vikings and a game behind a Packers team that doesn’t look good. Snellings is willing to take a flier at 40-1 on Bears to win the North.

There were no touchdowns in the Colts' 12-9 win over the Broncos last Thursday night. Caesars Sportsbook has "No TD" posted at 29-1 this week. Neither Moody nor Fitz are taking it. Marks will play Brian Robinson to score a touchdown. Cole Turner is +550. He scored 10 touchdowns his last year at Nevada.

Brian Robinson played his first NFL game since suffering gunshot wounds against the Titans on Sunday. He finished with 22 rushing yards on nine attempts. The Bears' defense is allowing 170 rushingyards per game.

Fortenbaugh, Dolan, Fitzpatrick, Marks and Walder are picking the wrong team for Thursday night's game. Wentz is an automatic interception bet each week. Fields is going to rely more on instincts than ever before. Brian Robinson will carry the rock at least 15 times. Cole Kmet is under 29.5 receiving yards. He's averaging 6.4 yards per target this year. The Bears' defense has eight takeaways this season. It's ranked 22nd in the league. Field is running 42. 5 yards rushing. His last three games have gone over 42 yards, but he's gone under that number in each of his past three.

Commanders at Bears Thursday Night. Snellings takes Fields over 0.5 touchdown passes and Darnell Mooney over 44. 5 receiving yards.
