Thursday Night Football - Bears vs. Commanders Best Bets and Player Props
Carson Wentz Over 0.5 Interceptions (-120 DraftKings Sportsbook) for 1 unit
Thursday Night Football games tend to be sloppy. Last week, we saw four combined interceptions from Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. The short week not only doesn't give the players much time to recuperate, but it also leaves both coaching staffs with less time to prepare.
Wentz has already had turnover problems, throwing at least one interception in four of five games. He has six for the season, overall, putting him just one shy of matching his mark from all of last season. The Bears have an improved secondary that has five interceptions to go along with allowing the ninth-fewest passing yards per game in the league. This has the makings of another rough night for Wentz.

Justin Fields Under 23.5 Pass Attempts (-105 DraftKings Sportsbook) for 1 unit
The Bears make no secret that they plan to run the ball early and often. They don't have much talent at wide receiver, but they do in the backfield with David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. Fields is also an asset in the rushing attack, posting 42 carries for 194 yards and a touchdown.
With the Bears running the ball so often, that doesn't leave Fields with many passing opportunities. He hasn't attempted more than 22 passes in a game this season, and he has three games with fewer than 18 pass attempts. This a surprisingly high number with good odds for the under.
Justin Fields Over 7.5 Rush Attempts (-145 DraftKings Sportsbook) for 1 unit
We've already established that Fields can do damage with his legs. The Bears want him to, which has resulted in him receiving at least eight carries in four of five games. The one time that he failed to reach that threshold, he had seven carries for 52 yards in Week 4 against the Giants.
This game will be at home for the Bears, where they are 2-0 this season. The Commanders are only 1-4, overall, and I think the Bears will ultimately come away with the victory. Remember, kneel-downs count as rushing attempts. Add the potential for those to Fields' already heavy usage in the run game and the over here is appealing.
