The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Monday night against the Commanders (7:15 p.m., ABC 7):
Patrick Finley
Commanders, 28-27: Strange things happen when these two teams meet at Northwest Stadium. In Week 5 of 2023, the Bears snapped a 14-game losing streak hours after learning of the death of Dick Butkus. In Week 8 last year, the Bears bungled a last-season heave so badly the Virgin Mary herself would have looked away. Expect another close one Monday. This year: 3-1
Jason Lieser
Commanders, 34- 27: Beating the Cowboys (2-2-1) and Raiders (1-4) is unconvincing.
