COMMANDERS QB SAM HOWELL OVER 1.5 PASSING TDS (+100)

COMMANDERS QB SAM HOWELL OVER 243.5 PASSING YARDS (+100)


I really love him against this Bears defense this week. The Bears have allowed 2 of the 4 QBs they’ve faced to cross both of these numbers in the same game. In the other 2, the QB crossed one of them. I really like him overall as a gunslinger with a big arm. As a Commanders’ fan, I actually like to watch him play, which actually gives us some excitement out on the field. Yea, he’s going to make rookie mistakes and look bad at times like he did against the Bills but you have to expect growing pains. He has only done both of these things in the same game once and that was against an equally awful defense in the Denver Broncos. He earned my respect bouncing back after that 4 INT performance to have an outstanding outing against the Eagles. I would have liked to take Brian Robinson anytime TD but the odds aren’t in our favor anymore.



BEARS WR D.J. MOORE OVER 50.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)


You beat the Commanders defense throughout the air, not on the ground. Their front 5 are scary talented and they will force Justin Field to throw the ball. DJ has been easily over this number in 2 of his last 3 games. Except for Week 1, the Commanders defense has allowed at least one receiver to go over this receiving total. Moore is the number one option for Fields, he should sail over this.
