Can the Bears finally win a game? That is the question that eludes Bear's fans entering tonight's primetime matchup against the Commanders. The Bears have lost 14 consecutive games dating back to last season, and they nearly got one last week against the Broncos before blowing a 28-7 lead in the second half. Tonight, on a short week, they travel to play the Commanders on the road. One of my favorite players to back in this game is DJ Moore, and I love him to score a touchdown.

Thursday Night Football Anytime TD Picks
Amidst a gloomy start to the season for the Bears, DJ Moore has become a rare bright spot. The newly-acquired wideout leads the Bears in receiving yards by far, with 301 through four weeks. It took him a game to get going, but he now has had two 100+ receiving games in his past three. The focus this year was to improve Fields as a passer, and acquiring Moore from Carolina was a key part of that. The two have clearly had an early connection, as Moore caught 8 of 9 targets last week for 131 yards and a touchdown.
Moore has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks, and he easily could again tonight against a beatable secondary. The Commanders have given up six touchdowns to wide receivers to start the 2023 season, which is tied for the most in the league.
Moore is a great red zone target because he has such good hands and creates good separation. Moore is probably one of the most underrated receivers in the league, and he only flies under the radar at times due to poor quarterback performance. However, he and Fields seem to have built a strong connection early on, and I love him to surpass his receiving yards line tonight, but also for him to score at +200.
+200 on a guy who has scored in back-to-back weeks seems like a great line, and Fields has been looking at him most in the end zone. While it might seem like the Bears will keep it on the ground like they have in the past, the Commander's rushing defense is much better than their secondary, so the Bears will have to beat them through the air. I like Moore to have another big game tonight and to find the end zone for the third straight week.
