Week 5 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Commanders

The Chicago Bears will face the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football, where the Bears will look to break an 14-game losing streak.

The Bears are coming off a heartbreaking 31-28 loss, where they choked away a 21-point lead in the third quarter. Quarterback Justin Fields is coming off a career game, and the offense will look to build on its solid outing in Week 4. But Chicago will be without key starters in the secondary — Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson — which means the defense faces another uphill battle against Washington.

Bill Bender – Commanders 31, Bears 24

The Bears and Commanders are running back the 12-7 snoozer Washington won on Thursday Night Football last season. This one will have much more points – mainly because these are the two of the four defenses that allow 30 points or more. The Bears are 0-4 ATS this season, and all of their games have hit the over.
