Over the summer, Las Vegas sportsbooks were hit by a large number of bets on Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to win NFL MVP. Consider the mystery solved — those bettors were clueless and their wagers are already considered donations to the bookmakers.
Trubisky has more interceptions (one) than touchdown passes and has been sacked five times. Chicago, which is averaging 9.5 points per game, was lucky to win at Denver after a last-minute officiating blunder. The Bears hit the road for the second week in a row, this time laying more than a field goal despite an offense that is a mess.
The Khalil Mack-led defense has been a monster, as expected, allowing 292.5 yards and 12 points per game. But the Washington offense has been surprisingly good. Case Keenum has completed 69 percent of his passes for 601 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions against Philadelphia and Dallas, which has an elite defense.
After facing Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott, the Redskins are more than prepared for Trubisky’s popgun passing attack.
The Play: Redskins +4 ¹/₂.
