Chicago Bears at Washington Commanders Prediction

Washington’s defensive front has the advantage against Chicago’s pass protection. If the Commanders keep Caleb Williams under pressure, they can limit deep passes to Odunze and force shorter throws. Chicago’s offense has moved the ball, but Washington’s running game and home-field advantage will be the difference in this close game. Final Score Prediction: Washington Commanders win and cover ATS 27–20.
