2023 Week 5 Thursday Night Pick

According to PFF, Justin Fields has won 5 games in the NFL as a starter. Jameis Winston has been a backup QB since Fields was drafted and has 6 wins over that time.

 Chicago Bears @ Washington Commanders (-5.5) - The last time these two teams played, it was an ugly affair where Carson Wentz managed to edge out the Bears 12-7.  Since then Justin Fields closed out the 2022 season.  The Bears have struggled with an 0-4 start although Field did play better against the Broncos.  

The Commanders have gone to Sam Howell whose up and down play is mainly dictated by Washington's inconsistent line.  This is a game that Washington on paper should take care of although right now Washington has yet to show a real killer instinct in the games that they have been ahead including games against the Cardinals and the Eagles.  The Bears gave a huge lead so perhaps they are angry but for now Washington appears to be the more talented team and maybe the short week can give Washington the advantage here.  


Week 4 Against the Spread - 5-11

Week 4 Straight up - 11-5

2023 Against the Spread - 31-33
2023 Locks - 4-5
2023 Straight Up - 40-23
