These teams both played Denver this season, Chicago lost by 3 and Washington beat them by two. This small discrepancy highlights how close the Bears and Commanders are. Howell has not seen the field well this season, he has more interceptions than touchdown passes. The Commanders gave everything they had in trying to beat the Eagles, they will have little left and the Bears will keep this game closer than expected. A case can be made that the Bears have underperformed thus far while the Commanders have overperformed. With that in mind, I love the Bears getting 6 points in a game that should be closer to a three-point spread. . I'll stick to the point total and happily take the 6 points in what should be a nail-biter on Thursday night Taking the Bears in this matchup +6 1/2[ buying the hook]
Thanks for the info Harry.I have not fact checked this stat, but I read teams coming off a Sunday OT LOSS and playing on Thursday night are 3-21 ATS since 2000.I am with you taking the points and hopefully Fields has another nice throwing game, he should be able to use his legs for some big plays. GL to us
I'll happily take the 6 points in what should be a nail-biter on Thursday night Taking the Bears in this matchup +6 1/2[ buying the hook]
Interesting 2 teams in the NFL unbeaten and 2 teams with no wins. SF/Philly and Bears/Carolina
Stays the same this week maybe unbeaten and winless teams will be that way when they match-up later this year....
As far as ATS and totals only heaven knows...
maybe another slide is planned.....

maybe another slide is planned.....Article By Patrick Everson Senior Sports Betting Reporter For The Vegas Insider, This is excellent article on matchup for tonight, that I would like to share with you all!!!! >>>>> While on the opposite side of the spectrum, Chicago was surrounded by a healthy amount of hype all offseason, but after blowing a 21-point lead in the second half against Denver, the Bears have officially hit rock bottom as they sit 0-4 entering Week 5. There’s no denying the fact that the Bears have been one of the worst teams in football through the first four weeks of the season, but are they really six points worse than Washington? Quite frankly, I don’t think the Commanders are good enough to be favored by a touchdown over any NFL team.
The Bears currently rank 22nd in points scored at 18.8 PPG and 31st in points allowed at 34.4 PPG, which is truly awful. But not too far ahead of them in both departments, you’ll find the Commanders ranked 17th in points scored at 22.2 PPG and 29th in points allowed at 30 PPG. Since the start of last season, Washington has won a total of 10 games, and only two of those wins have come by seven points or more.
After falling short of the 21-point mark in three straight games out of the gate, the Bears offense finally got the wheels churning with 28 points on 471 total yards in a gut-wrenching loss to Denver last Sunday. But this play isn’t about my trust in Chicago, it’s more about my hesitancy regarding a Washington squad that’s turned the ball over eight times through the first four weeks of the season, and had their defense shredded for 33+ points on 385+ total yards in three straight contests. Any way you slice it, these teams both stink. Pinch your nose and take the touchdown with Chicago.
The Bears generated 365+ yards of total offense in 6-of-10 games started by Justin Fields down the stretch of last season, and while they haven’t lived up to that lofty potential quite yet, Chicago’s offense is off to a much stronger start than the numbers they posted out of the gate last year, highlighted by the Bears averaging just 16 PPG on 275 total yards through Week 4 of last season, as opposed to the 19.2 PPG and 305 yards that they are averaging at the moment.
Chicago’s defense is certainly a concern. They’ve surrendered 27+ points in four straight contests to open the season. But push comes to shove, the Commanders are probably going to need to score a boatload of points to cover a touchdown spread here. At the very least, this play should remain within striking distance deep into the contest. Score Prediction: Bears 26, Commanders 23
Best Bet: Bears +6 (-110)

Chicago Bears Betting Analysis
At this point, betting on the Bears isn’t exactly the most intriguing notion under any set of circumstances. But all things considered, this feels like a great bounce back spot for them, especially receiving a handful of points against another struggling defense. The current iteration of this Chicago offense has certainly had some moments where the future looked somewhat bright, despite closing their previous campaign on a 1-10 skid.The Bears generated 365+ yards of total offense in 6-of-10 games started by Justin Fields down the stretch of last season, and while they haven’t lived up to that lofty potential quite yet, Chicago’s offense is off to a much stronger start than the numbers they posted out of the gate last year, highlighted by the Bears averaging just 16 PPG on 275 total yards through Week 4 of last season, as opposed to the 19.2 PPG and 305 yards that they are averaging at the moment.

Winners and whiners like it too
This could be the Play of the Week on Thursday night. The Bears come in after narrowly missing out on picking up their first win of the season on Sunday. A closer look at the numbers shows that these two teams are much closer across the board in most categories despite the two-game difference in their records. The Commanders come into this short-week matchup off of a physical, grinding conference game with the Eagles while the Bears played a much less punishing matchup against the Broncos at home. While the Commanders might be the slightly better team overall, a closer look suggests that the two teams are much closer to each other in overall ability. A case can be made that the Bears have underperformed thus far while the Commanders have overperformed. With that in mind, I love the Bears getting 6.5 points in a game that should be closer to a three-point spread. If you want to get a big payoff, consider taking the Bears with the money line in this game. I'll stick to the point total and happily take the 6.5 points in what should be a nail-biter on Thursday night.
Take the Bears +6.5 GL tonight
