Why The Bears Could Cover The Spread

The Bears are looking for answers. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, as the offense and defense have played terribly. Fields must perform better on the field.

Fields has passed for 861 yards, event touchdowns, and five interceptions while also rushing 28 times for 134 yards and a score. Ultimately, the Bears need Fields to do better. Herbert has rushed 41 times for 196 yards with no rushing touchdowns while also catching 10 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. Moore has caught 19 passes for 301 yards for two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Kmet has 18 receptions for 189 yards with two touchdowns.

The defense is still struggling. Furthermore, they only have two interceptions and two total sacks. The defense needs to do better. However, they have some players that can make noise. Tremaine Edmunds has 25 solo tackles. Also, T.J. Edwards has 24 solo tackles. Jaquan Brisker has 11 solo tackles. Ultimately, one of these three must step up on Thursday Night.

The Bears will cover the spread if Fields can take care of the ball and make some noise. Then, the defense must make a stop.

Why The Commanders Could Cover The Spread

The Commanders started the year with two straight wins. Since then, they have lost two in a row and are attempting to find their way after back-to-back losses to the Buffalo Bills and Eagles, respectively.

Howell has been mediocre, throwing for 961 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing 11 times for 82 yards and a score. Therefore, he needs to do better. Robinson has rushed 61 times for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, McLaurin has 21 receptions for 212 yards and one score. Jahan Dotson has 14 receptions for 110 yards and will need to step up if Samuel does not play.

The Commanders have a defense with 13 sacks. Therefore, look for them to try and do more against Fields. Jonathan Allen has six solo tackles and two sacks. Additionally, Montez Sweat has nine solo tackles and three sacks. Chae Young has seven solo tackles with 2.5 sacks through three games. Thus, the defense may need to generate more pressure and force the Bears to commit more turnovers.

The Commanders will cover the spread if they can generate any offense. Also, the defense must stop Fields and force him into mistakes.

Final Bears-Commanders Prediction & Pick

For some reason, the schedule makers put this on Thursday Night Football for the second year in a row. Regardless, both of these teams are looking for something. The Bears are desperate. Therefore, expect them to keep this close and either lose a close game or steal this one.

Final Bears-Commanders Prediction & Pick: Chicago Bears: +5.5 (-110)
