Once again, another head scratcher by the schedule makers as our marquee Monday Night Football matchup has a dominant defensive team in the Chicago Bears visiting the Washington Redskins. Still trying to figure out how they looked at this game on the schedule and said "yes, we need to feature a game with Case Keenum and Paul Richardson facing off against perhaps the best defense in the league." Regardless, we need to evaluate the game and determine what kind of winning edge we can get to help us get to the top of the leaderboards. I actually like this game a lot as I feel the masses are going to be on a very small core of players, which gives us potential to differentiate.

Injuries

Eddy Pineiro, CHI, K - Questionable
Trey Burton, CHI, TE - Questionable
Jordan Reed, WAS, TE - OUT

No surprise with Reed whose career in the NFL might be over. Vernon Davis will again be the beneficiary here. Pineiro and Burton are both expected to play and I'm writing this article with the assumption they are..

Evaluation of Vegas Spread and Total

Chicago -5 Over/Under 41

Vegas doesn't expect many points to be scored in this game with the inept Mitchell Trubisky leading the helm and the tough Bears defense getting a juicy matchup against Case Keenum and the Redskins.
