Bill Speros writes: "Remember when Thursday nights were set aside for "Friends" and "Seinfeld?" Those were the days. The Bears blew a 28-7 lead at home and lost to Denver. Denver! The Commanders took Philly to OT and could have won it in regulation. This line has moved from Washington -1 to -4.5. No need to worry. Parlay it with the under of 44.5 if you want a nice play."

CBS Sports: Odds favor Commanders in Week 5 game vs. Bears
Tyler Sullivan writes: "The Bears let what looked like their first win of the season slip through their fingers, blowing a 21-point lead to the Broncos. The lone silver lining from that crushing defeat might be that the club saw Justin Fields account for four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Washington took Philadelphia to overtime, but couldn't pull off the upset. Under Ron Rivera, the Commanders are 7-8 ATS as a favorite. Dating back to last season, the Bears are a league-worst 2-8 ATS on the road."
