Both teams enter off losses as Washington fell to Carolina on Monday Night football. As for Chicago, they continue to struggle mightily hoping to piece together a fourth win this season. The Bears have gone 1-5 in their previous six, despite covering their sixth in a row against the spread. The Bears went down swinging 30-27 against arch rival Green Bay, last Sunday. Traditionally Washington and Chicago are known as two of the most winningest franchises in NFL history.

The Redskins come in off a 26-15 loss against the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night, preceded by a huge win against their divisional rivals the Philadelphia Eagles. The entire country bore witness to the Panthers victory in prime time but regardless the stock on the Bears has plummeted so likely the Redskins may seem to be a good buy-back as opposed to a lay.

For Chicago their season is over, so the narrative here concerning the Redskins is the necessity to win versus the luxury to win for Chicago. However, Chicago is not a team that likes to be associated with losing and regardless of the circumstances and variables surrounding this contest the Bears will undoubtedly like to show up on Christmas Eve and give their fans a gift of a victory. Expect the Bears to enter this one with spirit and perhaps even pull an upset. Given the fact, the Bears have been extremely economical against the spread compared to their record overall, there is no reason to lay this team while they are frequently undervalued. This phenomenon is all the more likely when you consider the fact Chicago is going up against a team vying for a post-season berth.

Possible bet: Chicago +3,5 points on Pinnaclesports
