Commanders @ Bears 8:15 PM ET
Game# 105-106
Play On: Commanders +1.0 (5*)

I went 4-1 during NFL Week 5 action and my only loser came on the Washington Commanders. Well, instead of responding emotionally and playing against them for revenge, I went the professional route when handicapping this game by simply staying on an even keel. The more I crunched the offensive and defensive numbers of these teams, it became clear to me that Washington was the way to go.

Additionally, we have a home team with a better record (2-3), facing an opponent (1-4) on a current 4-game losing streak, yet the oddsmakers have this as an even game on the point-spread. Like I’ve stated on several occasions, think like an oddsmaker instead of a sports bettor, and it will prompt you into making more sound decisions.

Chicago is coming off a 29-22 division road loss at Minnesota. That defeat dropped their season win percentage to .400. Play against any NFL home team (Bears) with a win percentage of between .250 and .400, and that team (Bears) is coming off a division away loss by 5 points or more, and they allowed 33 points or fewer, resulted in those home teams going 0-11 SU since 2018.

Give me the Commanders in this contest.
