The Bears have covered five straight despite winning only once in that span. Now they're getting leading tackler Jerrell Freeman back from suspension. Look for Chicago to have success running the ball against Washington, which likely will be without top playmaker Jordan Reed. Grab the points.

After an impressive run in the middle of the season, Washington has started to stumble, losing three of their last four games. They'll be playing on just five days rest after Monday night's loss and hitting the road to play a team in Chicago that's been sneakily effective over the last month-plus. The Bears have covered five straight despite not having many wins to show for it, and the offense is playing much better than expected. Chicago's pass-catching stable is much more dangerous with Alshon Jeffery back, and Matt Barkley is playing for a chance to start in 2017. Expect a Bears upset here.

Quietly, the Bears have played solid football lately, covering five straight games. I like how this team has competed since Matt Barkley took over at QB. The Redskins are still a threat to score 30 in any game, but versus an improving Bears pass rush, Kirk Cousins and Washington's offense will struggle enough to keep this within the number.
