Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I’m on the Bears here. I just think that the Eagles are overrated, as they’ve been lucky to get to where they are as they’ve been getting outgained in a ton of their games this season and just choked away a lead to a rival to keep Dallas’ season alive. The Bears have been competitive all season long and the Eagles just don’t win games by margin. Give me the Bears here.
