NFL Tips: Washington Commanders vs. Chicago Bears

These picks are coming in a little bit late, but unfortunately I did not make it before. The new NFL week starts tonight and we already have over a month behind us. Washington vs. Chicago is certainly the most sexy game, but from a betting point of view it is quite interesting. For me, the Commanders are heavy favourites and I am backing them to win at home, including the handicap. Chicago are the worst team in the NFL and Washington have a certain standard. More NFL bets will be available over the weekend, so keep checking back on this page.

Washington Commanders play well in Philadelphia

Last week the Commanders narrowly lost in overtime in Philadelphia. It surprised me very much that after the touchdown man is not gone for two points, but the so-called extra point to overtime. They lost it there. Sam Howell is in his first full year as starting quarterback and he has already shown that he has a really good arm. The Commanders also have a good running game and a very good defensive line. I would put the Commanders in the middle of the league right now, and that is good enough for the Chicago Bears right now.

Bears winless so far this season

Chicago is one of two teams (Carolina being the other) to be winless this season. Last week, they lost to the equally disastrous Denver Broncos after taking a quick lead. The Bears' defence is absolutely atrocious and even though Fields had a good game last week, he cannot be the future. There is a lack of quality in every area of the team and the coaching is questionable at best. I see scenarios where the Bears go winless for the entire season.

My Commanders vs. Bears NFL prediction

This should be a no-brainer for me tonight. Luck is always the biggest factor, but on paper the roles are very clear. Washington will win by at least one touchdown and continue the positive trend. Such a trend is hard to find in the Windy City, and the decline of such a storied franchise continues. The Commanders' defence will have an easy game, and Howell finally has an easy matchup.

Bet: Tipp 1 - 6,5 Handicap

The best odds are with bet-at-home: 1,95
