The Washington Commanders will host the Chicago Bears for Week 6’s Monday Night Football action live from Northwest Stadium, home of the Commanders. The Commanders are coming into this game with a 3-2 record and are second in the NFC East, only behind the Philadelphia Eagles. They have had a up and down season thus far, winning and losing, not being able to build up much momentum. Part of the reason is their injuries that they’ve suffered, but luckily their QB Jayden Daniels is back in the roster, getting them a win against the Chargers in Week 5.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears are coming off a bye week and are 2-2 for the season. Their new head coach Ben Johnson has led them to a 2-win streak, beating the Raiders and the Cowboys in Weeks 3 and 4. Caleb Williams has shown some improvement with his decision making this season, and is also developing his dual-threat ability rushing for beyond 100 yards and a rushing TD in this season. While the Bears are still far from becoming a playoff contending team, they are dangerous and can upset some contending teams in the NFL.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jacory Croskey-Merritt anytime TD scorer | -160 | -125 |

| Caleb Williams under 0.5 INTs thrown | -165 | -150 |
If you’re looking for a complete guide to the best NFL betting sites, we’ve got you covered.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is a threat to score at any given time because of his recent performance against the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 111 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns on 14 rush attempts. In just 3 games that he’s played in, Merritt has scored 4 touchdowns already on just 43 touches. The Bears rank 31st in the league in terms of rushing defense, and the Commanders might utilize Merritt yet again in this game, looking at their horrible defense.
As mentioned earlier, Caleb Williams has shown improvement, not just with his arm but also with his legs. He’s had 5 or more rush attempts in every game thus far, with 8 rush attempts in Week 4 against the Raiders. While we expect Williams to throw more than rush, he should be able to cross 5 rushing attempts at least, looking at his recent performance in Week 4.
Caleb Williams under 0.5 interceptions is a great bet as he’s only thrown 2 interceptions this season and is also not a QB who likes to take huge risks. The Commanders rank 23rd in the league in terms of passing defense and have been horrible while defending the pass, allowing 8 passing TDs. The Commanders have only had 2 picks so far and are not particularly a team that focuses on gathering interceptions, playing more conservatively.
The Washington Commanders should be able to beat the Bears for Monday Night Football action. The Commanders, while horrible defensively, are much more talented in terms of their offense and rank 13th in total offense this season. They have scored 15 TDs overall, and can be unstoppable at times, especially now that they have their QB1 Jayden Daniels back in the lineup.
