The Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears each have an 11% chance or less of making the playoffs, but the winner of Thursday night's game will improve their odds slightly. We're breaking down the betting with our Commanders-Bears picks.
Washington's 21-17 loss to Tennessee in Week 5 was its fourth consecutive defeat after a win in its season opener. That resulted in the Commanders' having a losing streak of four or more games for the fifth straight season.
Meanwhile, Chicago is off to its worst start (2-3) since 2017 and is two games back of the first-place Minnesota Vikings after losing to its division rivals 29-22 in Week 5.
Here are our best picks and predictions for the Week 6 matchup between the Commanders and Bears (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and BetMGM; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
