Washington Redskins at Chicago Bears — NFL Sunday Odds

The strides the Bears made this season under Fox and new GM Ryan Pace have restored hope to a fan base that has seen just one playoff run since the 2006 Super Bowl appearance. NFL.com has your live stream and watch all the action online right now!

These aren’t like the old shallow cross pass play or the outside zone stretch, which can and are run to death in games, but more like counter run plays. The running game has been split between Matt Forte and their rookie running back, Jeremy Langford, as the Bears are trying to feel out what they have for their 2016 campaign. The Chicago Bears haven’t been that good after that, losing five games against the same team. I gave up two sacks and a fumble.

True champions are in December and not in September that the season starts in July or the end of free agency.

They also have a talented tight end in Jordan Reed. Does it matter how much they won by the week before to be considered a trap game?

For the second straight game, Gould failed at his job. While some of them played well, starting the likes of Shea McClellin, Tracy Porter, Sherrod Martin, and Bryce Callahan is not the formula for a respectable football team.

Chicago rallied with a pair of touchdowns to even the score at 21 late in the third quarter. Separated only by tiebreaker, they are now the seventh fastest in the seeding in the AFC.

Washington Redskins outside linebacker Trent Murphy (93) tackles Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutle … But as Thurman Thomas told McCoy this week, the Bills will need to keep their composure.

A football team needs talent to win games, that much is certain.

TE Jordan Reed had one of the best games of his career Sunday. The effort, his fifth 300-yard game in 2015, pushed Cousins, in his first full season as a starter, past the 3,000-yard mark, to 3,006.

Every loss to an NFC opponent stacks against the Bears in terms of tiebreakers. But they also showed all of their warts. “But when it’s all said and done, to come out of here with the first road win this year is big”. The Bears’ defense has actually been playing pretty well this year. Kirk Cousins has played well enough to be the quarterback long term. The banged-up Ravens fall into that category.

Cutler has had a rough three weeks. The Chiefs are riding a six-game winning streak. “We’ve done more playing to our competition’s level”. This one could get ugly. The Bears had a very hard time getting the pass going last week against a 49ers’ defense that has been poor on the road. A victory over Jacksonville will put Indianapolis a step closer to achieving that despite what’s been a disappointing season for them so far. There were 128 instances where teams were 5-point underdogs and then 5-point favorites the subsequent week. That’s bad, but what makes it worse is that even if the defender had not been there, the pass was so badly underthrown that Garcon might not have caught it even if unguarded.

It’s a unit that’s two deep and has rotated through defensive linemen throughout the course of a game to keep players fresh, but the Redskins wouldn’t have that luxury without Paea and Hatcher. Cincy gets humbled facing the league’s hottest offense.

Reed continues to be strong for the Redskins, turning a short pass into a long gain for 32 yards.

Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew and Redskins tight end Derek Carrier both tore their ACLs this Sunday and will miss the remainder of the 2015 season. Although that doesn’t prove definitively that trap games of that sort don’t exist, it suggests that most of the difference we saw in earlier situations – the kind that the Bears found themselves in – is due to bettors giving them too much credit and thinking that they’re better than they actually are.
