It seems that the NFL is getting better week by week, with some incredible matches that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. From the Broncos defeating the Bears in overtime to the Cowboys dominating the Patriots, the biggest surprise for me was the Texans’ impressive victory over the Steelers by a substantial margin, which I didn’t see coming. In this NFL Picks Week 5: Bears vs. Commanders article, I’ll give you the key info about these teams and the top odds.

Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders (TNF Oct 5th)

In the 2023 NFL season, the Chicago Bears are enduring a dismal year, ranking among the league’s worst teams. Having suffered four consecutive losses, they approach their upcoming matchup against the Washington Commanders without a single victory. While their offence has managed to score an average of 18.8 points per game, their defence is struggling, allowing an average of 34.3 points per game. They are at the moment at the bottom of the NFC North division.

On the flip side, the Washington Commanders have encountered some challenges, dropping their last two games against the Bills and the Eagles after winning their first two of the season. They have been averaging 22.3 points per game while allowing an average of 30, indicating an area they need to improve in the near future. Currently, they hold the third spot in the NFC East division.

While it’s difficult to make a definitive prediction, considering the fact that the Washington Commanders are playing in their home stadium, they have a good chance of winning. The last time these two teams faced each other was in October 2022, with the Commanders emerging victorious.

My pick: The Washington Commanders with a Moneyline bet of -270 at iBet.
