• The Las Vegas Raiders dropped to 1-2 following a 41-24 loss to the Washington Commanders.
• Chicago got its first win of the season, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 31-14.
• These teams previously squared off on Oct. 22, 2023, with the Raiders claiming a 30-12 victory.

One of the games on Sunday’s NFL slate features the Las Vegas Raiders hosting the Chicago Bears. Who has the edge in our Raiders vs Bears pick?

Raiders Hope To Bounce Back From Poor Performance Against Washington

The Commanders were missing key players going into this matchup. This includes Jayden Daniels (knee), Austin Ekeler, and Noah Brown. However, Las Vegas trailed 34-10 through three quarters en route to a 41-24 loss.

Geno Smith finished 19 of 29 for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Tre Tucker led the aerial assault, catching eight passes for a total of 145 yards and three touchdowns.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as the Raiders were just 3-for-14 on third downs and the defense gave up 201 rushing yards.

Chicago Aims To Build On Impressive Win Over The Cowboys

The Bears ended a two-game losing streak by defeating the Dallas Cowboys by a 31-14 margin in Week 3.

Following a 52-21 defeat against Detroit in Week 2, Chicago had one of its better performances in the Caleb Williams era, racking up 385 yards on offense.

Williams completed 19 of 28 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Even more important, it was the first game of his NFL career in which he was not sacked.

Is this a sign of things to come for this Bears team, or was the outing against Dallas more of an aberration?
