Washington heads out on the road after a tough loss at home Monday Night to Carolina in a must-win game for their playoff hopes. This is a quick turnaround, playing on Saturday after the Monday night contest. It was a tough loss as the Washington's flaws were exposed on defense, #29 in the NFL in yards allowed, #26 against the pass, and #24 in points surrendered. They are a .500 team on the road, but are a road favorite here, and have lost three of the last four games overall. The Redskins have allowed 24, 31, 31, 22, and 26 points the last five contests. Chicago plays its best football at home with all three of its wins this season at Soldier Field, all as a dog. The Bears have improved this season despite few wins, #15 on offense in yards, #14 in passing, while the defense is ninth in yards allowed and sixth against the pass. They got WR Alshon Jeffrey back the last game after a four-game suspension. The Bears have not quit, covering five straight games, including giving the Packers a game last week, a 30-27 home loss. This is their third home game in the last four contests, and the dog has covered six of the last seven meetings. Play the Bears.
