Week 8 of the 2024/25 NFL season opened with an upset win by the Rams over the Vikings. Washington is 5-2 after easily handling the terrible Carolina Panthers, winning 40-7 with Marcus Mariota under center for the majority of the game. The Commanders are home again and hosting the Chicago Bears. Washington opened as 1.5 point underdogs, with the line shifting towards the Bears after Jayden Daniels rib injury. That line has gone to -2.5, and was as high as -3.5 after Daniels didn’t practice the first two days. The Over/Under dropped two points to 44.
