00:00Another game that wanted to be in that late afternoon window on

00:08Sunday and everything was looking great. The Commanders

00:11five and two the Bears four and two winners of three in a row

00:15fresh off the by after a road trip to London and then early in

00:20the opening half last week for Washington against Carolina in

00:23their fifth win of the season. Jaden Daniels injured a rib

00:27injury that of course sidelined him for the remainder of that

00:30game. Marcus Mariota great by the way for the Commanders more

00:34than 200 yards and two touchdowns as they cruise past

00:37the Panthers. We have not seen Jaden Daniels at practice yet.

00:41There are some reports that they're trying to get him back

00:44for today. So at least he can have a full practice before a

00:48walkthrough before this game on Sunday outside the Nation's

00:52Capitol. I don't really remain convinced. So it's Caleb

00:56Williams the number one overall pick and his Chicago Bears

01:00more than likely against Marcus Mariota a former top five

01:04pick but not necessarily the number two overall selection

01:08from 2024 Jaden Daniels this line open Joe in favor of Washington

01:14after Sunday. It was a point and a half in favor of Chicago

01:18as Daniel status was a little bit more murky throughout this

01:21week. It's now been two and a half even up to that flat number

01:25of three in favor of the Bears. So it might not be one versus

01:28two, but will Chicago win comfortably on the road as this

01:32line might be indicating. Yeah. Well, I mean the Bears are

01:37let healthier coming off of the by we don't know what Daniels

01:43status is going to be but I will say this. I mean they brought

01:46in Marcus Mariota. Yes, it was against the Panthers, but it

01:49didn't look like he had any sort of issues running their

01:53offense didn't look like they missed a beat at all there.

01:56So that's why you get yourself an experienced veteran backup

02:00in situations like this. So the bigger problem for me is the

02:04defensive injuries with Allen out on that defensive line of

02:09Washington, you know, they're going to try to run the ball

02:12Washington is not going to be able to run on this defense of

02:16Chicago. It's kind of hard not to look at Chicago. It's a game

02:21that I would wait until of course, we understand what the

02:25status is with Daniels. But as of right now, if it's Mariota,

02:29I would have to look towards Chicago and I can tell you this

02:32if it is Mariota, you ain't getting it under a field goal.

02:35So you might as well if you like Chicago bet it now.
