Oddsmakers say the 0-2 Redskins will eventually win a game. Bears fans just hope it’s not Monday night.

The betting site bookmaker.eu created odds on which 0-2 team will wind up with the most victories this season, with Washington listed fourth at 2-1 odds. The Jets, with 5-6 odds, are listed as the 0-2 team most likely to have the greatest number of victories. The Dolphins are listed at 9-1 and the Giants are 5-2.

Of the 2-0 teams, the Patriots are listed at even-money to have the most wins this season. The Chiefs (2-1 odds), Rams (3-1) and Cowboys (5-1) round out the top four.
