The winless Chicago Bears visit Sam Howell and the intriguing yet erratic Washington Commanders for Thursday Night Football, providing the first chance to jump into Week 5 NFL odds.
The TNF odds have the Commanders pegged as -5.5 point favorites after pushing the Philadelphia Eagles to overtime in Week 4, but a desperate Chicago team is out to shrug off a miserable start to the season. The Bears’ latest setback was a 28-7 blown lead at home to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
It’s tough to make the case for this being an offensive classic, with Howell and Justin Fields combining for 11 touchdown passes and 10 picks so far this year, but thankfully, the prop market is there to pick up the slack.
Check out my best NFL picks for the Bears vs…
There is a pair of Monday Night Football games in Week 14 odds, including a showdown between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. While the Packers have won three straight in the NFL odds, the Giants are coming off a bye and have won their last two contests themselves.
MNF odds opened with the Packers as 6.5-point road favorites, with the Over/Under listed at 37 for this prime-time clash in the Meadowlands. Can the Pack keep rolling, or is this too many points to spot a .500 team on the road?

We got a “movie trailer” version of the Indianapolis Colts under Anthony Richardson last season.
The rookie quarterback led the Colts to a 2-2 record as the starter before a shoulder injury in Week 5 folded his first year in the pros. In that short glimpse, Richardson proved potent as a dual-threat QB, especially for those of us taking his “touchdown anytime” odds (he scored four TDs).
But like most movie trailers, we didn’t get a complete picture and were left to speculate on the quality of the full film. Is Richardson & Co. a blockbuster for NFL bettors or pretty much every Terminator movie after T2: Judgement Day? Awesome trailers. Crap movies.
Get the popcorn ready. Here’s my Indianapolis Colts 2024 b…
Emma Hayes, having watched Wolfsburg knock Chelsea out of the Champions League in three consecutive seasons from 2016-18, would be forgiven for ruing a draw that has paired them together in the competition again. Instead, Hayes is “looking forward” to seeing how her side fare in the quarter-final against their old foes.
“I think everybody would say the same,” the manager said before Wednesday’s first leg in Budapest. “I’m looking forward to watching [my side] cope with playing against a team that has won, every time, in the biggest games against us, and I’m extremely curious to see how far we’ve progressed in the last three years.”

The creators of popular football simulation Pro Evolution Soccer are making Chapecoense s new badge available to players, as well as adding a tribute ball to the game.
Chapecoense s crest was altered after 71 people, including 19 squad members, died in a plane crash in November.
Players Alan Ruschel, Jakson Follmann and Neto were among six survivors of the flight that was taking the squad to the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional in Colombia.
Chapecoense were crowned champions as a mark of respect, with two stars subsequently added to the club s badge one in memory of those who died and the other to mark their maiden continental title.
And PES 2017 makers Konami have moved to recognise that change, as well as making a don…
Croatia are on the brink of an early Euro 2024 exit and Zlatko Dalic apportions their struggles to an ageing squad and defensive issues.
Dalic s side must overcome Italy on Monday to have any chance of escaping Group B, sitting on just one point after a 2-2 draw with Albania followed a 3-0 humbling by Spain in their opener.
Croatia have not gone through a group stage without winning at a major tournament since the 2006 World Cup (D2 L1) as those defensive problems referenced by Dalic remain the main issue.
They have conceded five goals in two matches so far, only letting more in at two major tournament group stages, shipping six at Euro 2004 and as many at the World Cup 10 years later.
We haven t started well, Dalic told reporters on Sunday. We haven t b…
Carlo Ancelotti has said Real Madrid are considering allowing players to take short breaks during the season with concerns about the congested fixture schedule.
Ancelotti, who led Los Blancos to a record sixth Super Cup triumph against Atalanta on Wednesday, now turns his attention to the new LaLiga season.
Madrid travel to the Visit Mallorca Estadi to face Mallorca on Sunday in their opening league encounter as they begin their title defence with Kylian Mbappe in their ranks.
However, Ancelotti revealed that the club are considering extended breaks away from action during the season due to the pressures of domestic and club football.
The players need rest, they need holidays and we are thinking about giving individual holidays to the players during t…
Manchester City pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title on a day that broke the competition s record for the most goals scored in a 20-team season.
Liverpool s 97-point tally was a club record but not enough to earn the Reds their first title of the Premier League era, with City retaining their crown.
The Reds haul would have been enough to win the Premier League in all but one of the previous 26 seasons, but the Reds at least can look forward to a Champions League final against Tottenham.

Spain captain Iker Casillas insisted the 2010 FIFA World Cup final means nothing as his team prepare to face the Netherlands again.
Vicente del Bosque s side claimed a 1-0 win after extra-time over the Dutch in the decider in South Africa four years ago for their third straight major tournament.
Casillas said that while both games were important, 2010 was history and played no part heading into Friday s Group B encounter in Salvador.
The final and this match are two very different games and have nothing to do with one another, but they re both very important. We beat them in South Africa, he told a news conference.
When you start the World Cup off with a loss, you have to go full throttle to win the remaining games.
Holland has three experienced players up …
Week 4 of the NFL season is upon us, and just like the first few weeks of the season, we saw a dominant league-wide trend in Week 3 as Unders hit in 11 of the 16 games.
As we know, these things tend to even out as the season grows, but it’s still worth keeping tabs on for those of us who live and breathe every second of NFL action from the preseason right to the Super Bowl. For the season, one standout trend to keep your eye on has been NFL odds road underdogs covering in 58.62% of games.
If you’re new to this article, these are my favorite NFL betting trends for every single game this week. I recommend never backing trends blindly – simply use them as a starting point for your handicap before making your NFL picks and predictions.
