ANALYSIS

Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders Prediction: Can TJ Edwards Pressure Sam Howell on TNF?

After a career year with the Philadelphia Eagles last season, T.J. Edwards signed a three-year contract with his hometown Chicago Bears. He led the Eagles in tackles on their run to the Super Bowl and is off to a tremendous start in Chicago tallying 51 tackles through four games which is the second most in the NFL.

Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders Prediction

The Bears announced yesterday that Edwards will serve an honorary captain for tonight’s game against the Commanders and since he’s their green dot defender we can expect him to see a full complement of defensive snaps.

Edwards has a tackles + assists line that is set at 8.5 and I’m loving the value on the over. He has exceeded this line in every game this season recording nine, 17, 12, and 14 total tackles respectively.

The Commanders are favorited by six points and should lean heavily on the run game with this contest being played on a short week. That projects for a positive game environment for Edwards to continue to rack up tackles. He has made a career off his ability to read defenses which allows him to always be around the football and we will see more of that tonight.
