Week 6 finishes off with an intriguing battle between the Bears and Commanders in DC. Who will come out on top? Here are my same game multi tips for Tuesday morning.
Chicago Bears (2-2) at Washington Commanders (3-2)
After a tough 0-2 start to the year, the Bears have bounced back nicely with back to back wins. So a 3-2 record is in their sights. The Bears defence has been a big reason for the turnaround. In their last 2 games, they've had a total of 6 interceptions. The Bears D will be a huge factor in this matchup against Commanders QB Jayden Daniels as well.
After a 34-27 loss against the Falcons and down 10-0 against the Chargers, the Commanders found their mojo in a comeback win. They ended up beating LA 27-10. The defence was relentless in the 2nd half, picking up 4 sacks and a pick against Herbert. Rookie RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt also had a massive game with 111 yards and 2 rushing TDs.
Leg #1 - Under 55.5 pts
In their nice little 2 game winning streak, the Bears defence has been stepping up. They've allowed just 14 pts against the Cowboys in Week 4 and that included a second-half shutout. Then last week, they conceded just 10 pts in the 2nd half in a 25-24 win over the Raiders. The Commanders defence also impressed last week with a 3 quarter shutout against the Chargers, one of the best scoring team in the league. So the trends say that this should go under 55.5 pts if both defences come to play.
Leg #2 - Jacory Croskey-Merritt Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is a 7th round pick, but he's not playing like it. He comes off his first 100 rushing yard day against the Chargers, which included 2 TD's. In all 3 wins for the Commanders, he's scored a TD. He's also getting more involved in the passing game, which helps his chances of getting into the endzone on the ground or air.
Leg #3 - Deebo Samuel Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The addition of Deebo Samuel is working out nicely for the Commanders so far. He's scored a TD in 4 of 5 games and that includes back to back games against the Chargers and Falcons. The good thing about Deebo is his dual-threat ability as he can score a rushing TD too.

Value Leg - Rome Odunze Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The Bears combo of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze is getting better and better each week. In all 4 games this year, Rome Odunze has caught at least 1 TD - he caught 2 against the Lions in Week 2. The price for him getting another one is too good to pass up.
