Washington Commanders vs Chicago Bears Prediction: A competitive contest is expected

NFL week eight encounter moves to FedExField, where Washington Commanders will be home to face the Chicago Bears. The previous time these two sides faced off, the Bears secured a 20-40 win. However, with the two sides coming off a victory, which side will keep things running?

The Washington Commanders will eye another home win following a 40-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers the previous time out. The Washington Commanders dominated the first three quarters in that encounter, ending 10-0, 17-0, and 10-0. While losing 3-7 in the final quarter, the score did not affect the matchup. In the meantime, this team has won five of their first seven games of the season, with their defeats coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the opening day and the Baltimore Ravens in week 6. With a 0.714PCT, Washington Commanders sit third in the National Football Conference standings. 

The Chicago Bears' last league game was against the Jacksonville Jaguars, securing a 35-16 win. The Chicago Bears needed strong second and fourth-quarter performances in that game, ending 14-0 and 14-6. In the meantime, the Chicago Bears have won four of their first six matches this season, the first three being against the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams, and Tennessee Titans. However, this team faced defeats against the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, which ended 19-13 and 21-16. On the league’s log, the Chicago Bears sit 5th, pulling off a 0.667PCT, the same as the placed Philadelphia Eagles. 

The Washington Commanders are performing well and deserve a chance in this game. While the visiting Chicago Bears have lost twice this season, they have been very decent in the last weeks. This is going to be a very competitive game looking at how well these two top sides have performed lately, and a bet on points is a good option. Also, with the Commanders at home, I expect them to win this game.
