The Philadelphia Eagles (12-1) will travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears (3-10) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Eagles vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The good news for the Bears is that they did not lose last week. This is because they were on a bye. The bad news is this streak might end this week as injuries continue to pile up for the Bears, and they now must play the top team in the NFC in the Eagles. The defense for the Bears has been dreadful for most of the 2022 season. With QB Jalen Hurts, WR A.J. Brown and RB Miles Sanders coming to town, the opportunity to improve does not seem in sight this week either.
QB Justin Fields has been remarkable in what he has done this season. Without his acrobatics, the Bears would not even have the 3 wins they do. But he will not be able to do it alone in this game.
The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth already. But only 2 games up on the Cowboys, they need this game to stay ahead of them before the showdown in Dallas on Christmas Eve. The secondary led by CB Darius Slay has been great this season This run defense will be the key factor in this game as the Bears top 2 weapons in the pass game will both be missing with WRs Darnell Mooney on IR and Chase Claypool also missing this game for the Bears.
