Bears vs Commanders Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, QB Matchups, Injury Update, Betting Trends & Stats

The No. 1 overall pick (Caleb Williams) and No. 2 overall pick (Jayden Daniels) in the NFL draft will square off in the nation’s capital when the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders square off.

The Bears have won three straight games and are 4-2 on the season. Chicago scored 24, 36 and 35 points in the three wins and held opponents to 18 or fewer points in all three (Rams, Panthers, Jaguars). The Bears haven’t won four in a row since 2018, but this Chicago is led by the No. 1 to general Caleb Williams, who has been on fire the past three weeks (7 TDs to 1 INT).

The Commanders are 5-2 this year and are coming off a 40-7 smackdown of the Panthers. However, rookie QB Jayden Daniels suffered a rib injury on the first play of that game and is questionable but expected to play. Washington’s only losses came on the road at Tampa Bay and Baltimore. The Chiefs are 3-0 at home, but those wins have come over the Giants, Browns and Panthers, who are a combined 4-17 this year.

The latest Friday odds, courtesy of DraftKings:

Money line: Bears (-155), Commanders (+124)
Spread: Bears -3 (-105)
Total: 43.0

Washington opened as a -2.5-point favorite, but with Jayden Daniels’ injury and limited practice, the Bears are now -3 favorites. Chicago has won three straight games and is coming off a bye week. If Daniels plays, this line will move back to a pick-em or Washington -2.5. The total dropped from 46.5 to 43.0 with the Daniels news, so the total will also increase if Daniels plays.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Chicago to win at Washington:
“The Chiefs were one of the biggest surprises of the season, but Jayden Daniels won’t be 100 percent and the Bears are on fire right now.

Chicago has won three straight against the Rams, Panthers and Jaguars, while the Commanders are 3-0 at home, beating the Giants, Browns and Panthers, who are a combined 4-17 this year.

I think Chicago is sleepy here, and the week after London is a big positive for this team. I played the Bears +2.5 before the move, so I’d recommend waiting for the Daniels news and taking the Bears -3 if he’s out or taking Chicago as an underdog if he’s in.”
