Washington -4.5
Man it feels just like yesterday that Daniels hit that hail mary on the idiotic DB for the Bears.
Probably because I had the Bears that day.
Could they get revenge for that debacle? Maybe. But why would they? Have they improved vastly since then? No. They may have improved some, and they have played a tough schedule with good offenses, but they still give up the most yards per play on total defense and the most yards per carry on rush defense. So even if it's skewed by playing teams the top offenses, the only way to give them a chance would be if they were playing a bad offense.
Unfortunately though, the Commanders lead the league in rushing yards and yards per attempt per game on offense. Have you seen this rookie RB Croskey Merritt yet? Hes pretty good, and Daniels, after having a game to shake off some rust, can run too.
And shake off some rust he did, after the Commies fell behind by 10 he scored 27 points and the defense pitched a shutout vs Herbert and Conklin and Keenan Allen.
Lot of momentum coming back home now after two road games. They lost the game before that but Daniels was out, and the defense gave up a ton of yards to the Falcons. However they only lost by 1 TD and scored 27 on one of the highest performing defenses so far this season.
Washington is scoring a lot of points this year, and Chicago can score too, so i like this game to go over, but I'm gonna stick with Washington at home because they're the only team that has any defense. Bears have no pass rush (Was just sacked herbert 5 times) and they aren't the type of team that gets revenge. They're the type of team that gets owned because they find ways to lose. Ask Aaron Rodgers.
After that Hail Mary game the Commanders went on to upset the Lions in the playoffs on the road. Chicago probably couldn't dream of doing that. They are improving slightly but it's not come together yet and they aren't playing a team that can't take advantage of their weak defense they're playing the best rushing team in the NFL who hasn't allowed a point in the last 3 quarters and has a lot of magic with Daniels at the helm. Caleb... Not exactly magical just yet.
