Best NFL Chicago Bears vs Washington Commanders touchdown scorer bets: Trust in Scary Terry

Thursday Night Football has provided some great games already this season but the teams doing battle in the first primetime slot of NFL Week 5 have only 2 wins in 8 games. That figure is between them, but the Commanders own both of those victories with the Bears coming in at 0-4 and ranking 32nd in the Pickswise NFL Power Rankings.

It’s not all bad news for the Bears, though, as they produced their best half of the season against Denver on Sunday only to blow a 21-point lead in the second half. The Commanders also picked up a loss in Week 4, but gave the unbeaten Eagles plenty to think about in a 34-31 loss. Be sure to also check out our NFL predictions for all the Week 5 Games, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for the Game, where I’m targeting a wide receiver from each team.

Terry McLaurin, WR, Commanders (+150 at FanDuel)

‘Scary’ Terry McLaurin has showed he has the talent to produce no matter who the Commanders throw out there at quarterback, and he should again find ways to get open against a burnable and injury-hit secondary if only Sam Howell can find the time to deliver the ball.

While running back Brian Robinson is the only Commander with more than one rushing or receiving TD this season McLaurin is has a great chance to add to his 30-yard score against the Broncos — he also scored against the Eagles last week with a fumble recovery in the end zone after Robinson lost the ball on the goal-line. Another option to consider is the Commanders defense at +600 as the Bears have allowed a defensive touchdown in 3 of their 4 games.

DJ Moore, WR, Bears (+225 at Caesars)

The Bears did at least appear to find their feet on offense last week, scoring 28 points after posting 20, 17 and 10 in their first 3 games, although admittedly it was against a Broncos defence that had given up 70 points the week before. Still, there is talent on the roster if QB Justin Fields can be kept upright long enough to find it and the top option for him is wide receiver DJ Moore.

Moore has had 2 huge Games since joining the team as part of the trade that gave the Panthers the #1 pick in the draft. He had 104 receiving yards against the Buccaneers and has reached the end zone in each of the last 2 weeks, scoring against the Chiefs and again as part of a 131-yard day against Denver. Washington’s defensive line is impressive but when the ball does come out the Commanders secondary can struggle, giving up 175 yards and 2 TDs to Philly’s AJ Brown and a further 78 yards to DeVonta Smith. Moore should also cause them problems.

Over 3,000 migrants have hit NYC shelter time limit, report says

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

VIDEO: Crashed UFO Or Military Machine? UFO Crash Near Laredo, Texas 1948

Texas Monthly magazine recently included the Laredo UFO Crash on a list of the eight most significant UFO cases in Texas History .Interestingly, this case is said to have occurred almost exactly one year after the more famous Roswell UFO Incident. Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and the Coyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border. According to Texas Monthly, talk of a UFO crash near Laredo first surfaced in the 1950s[2] , with additional details being released in 1978 by the late Leonard Stringfield, one of the first UFO researchers to advocate serious investigation of reported UFO crashes. Stringfield wrote, “In the Fall of 1977, new word of a 1948 crash came to me from a well-informed Military source. His information, however, was scanty. ...
