Back at it again for another Thursday Night Football Matchup. This week sees the Chicago Bears taking on the Washington Commanders.

Check out the latest episode of the JCPod for my full breakdowns. All odds are from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.

Straights

When it comes to this game, I do not think I can take either side. I like the Commanders, but I do not think I like them enough to take the -6. This may be the first time in this series where I take no straights. I will be looking to live bet the Commanders at a good number.

Over-under wise I do tend to lean the under, but cannot get myself to take it either. I am on the Commanders side, but will not be taking any straights unless I get the Commanders live at a good number. I AM NOT BETTING THIS, but I would be on the -6 for the Commanders if I was forced to pick a side.

Props

Terry McLaurin anytime TD (+175)

I do like Scary Terry to find the endzone tonight. He is leading the team in all of their receiving stats, but has only scored once this year. This Bears defense is not the best either. The Commanders will be able to score once or twice through the air, and I like McLaurin to be one of the guys to find the endzone tonight.

Sam Howell over 13.5 rush yards (-128)

Howell has reached 13 or more rush yards in each of the last three weeks. Last week saw a career high 6 rushes for 40 yards. I like Howell to make it four games in a row, and will be on his rushing over. Also, other than Jordan Love Week 1 (who got 12), every quarterback facing the Bears has had over 13 rush yards. Get it done Sam Howell.

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

This game is almost nastier than most of these best I make. Due to this, I will be playing it safe again this week. The odds for this nasty boy is +517 with a 50% boost you can get this to +776 for this Thursday Night Football action:

  • Terry McLaurin over 50 alternate receiving yards (-188)
  • Commanders -2.5 alternate spread (-225)
  • Brian Robinson anytime TD (-165)
  • DJ Moore over 49.5 receiving yards (-113)
