On Sunday, the Chicago Bears (4-2) will compete against the Washington Commanders (5-2) in a thrilling National Football Conference matchup. After a challenging start, the Bears have ignited a winning streak, triumphing in three games in quick succession. Their recent victory over the Jaguars with a score of 35-16 is a testament to their offensive prowess, averaging 24.7 points per game and allowing only 16.8 points against them. This recent success bodes well for their upcoming game.
Caleb Williams has emerged as a key player for Chicago, with 1,317 throwing yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 9:5. However, it’s the Bears’ defence, led by the exceptional Jaylon Johnson, that truly shines. Ranked sixth in pass defence, they have consistently held their opponents to 21 points or less in each of the six games they’ve played, providing a strong foundation for the team’s performance.
The Washington Commanders, on the other hand, have surpassed expectations by scoring an average of 31.1 points already this season. Jayden Daniels has been a dual threat, compiling 1,410 throwing yards and 371 running yards, even though his health is now in danger due to an injury. In each of the Commanders’ most recent five games, the offense scored at least 34 points in four.
Because both sides have shown the ability to score points, you should anticipate a competitive contest. On the other hand, given Chicago’s formidable defense and Washington’s lack of consistency, wagering on a score lower than 47 points would be a prudent pick.
