COMMANDERS at BEARS
8:15 p.m., Bears by 1, 38
HANK’S HONEYS: They need to give odds on whether or not this ugly matchup will surpass final Thursday night time’s snoozer between Denver and Indianapolis. It’s principally a decide ‘em sport and we don’t essentially need to decide both aspect. Nevertheless, we lean to the Bears as the house staff. Justin Fields truly appeared competent within the second half final week and he’s up towards a struggling protection (over 25 ppg yielded, over 100 opponent passer ranking) that does just one factor nicely — stress the QB. Fields, no matter his faults, can negate that considerably along with his scrambling capacity. And the one factor the Bears offense does nicely — run the soccer — is a big Washington weak spot. You by no means know the way Carson Wentz will react after being known as out (type of) by Ron Rivera through the week (he ought to have saved a few of that for himself) however the Bears protection isn’t dangerous so long as it doesn’t should spend a lot time on the sphere. With the Bears even in turnover ratio and the Commanders at -8, we now have to go Chicago.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Bears and the underneath.
