Game Preview
In a key Week 13 NFC matchup, the Philadelphia Eagles host the Chicago Bears in a post-Thanksgiving showdown. The Eagles enter the game as solid 7-point home favorites, looking to solidify their standing in the conference. The Bears, meanwhile, aim to play spoiler on the road and pull off a significant upset.
What to Watch For
Chicago Bears:
The Bears have been a competitive squad this season, as indicated by their 6-3 record heading into Week 11. Their success has been built on a solid defense, but their health on that side of the ball will be the biggest storyline to watch.
Leading into recent weeks, Chicago has dealt with injuries to several key defensive starters. Safety Jaquan Brisker (back), linebacker T.J. Edwards, and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) all appeared on injury reports in mid-November. Nickel back Kyler Gordon was also ruled out of a recent contest with a hamstring injury. The status of these key players for this Week 13 game will be crucial. If the defense is not at full strength, it will be a major challenge to contain the Eagles’ high-powered offense on the road.
Philadelphia Eagles:
The Eagles will be playing in the friendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field, where they are always a tough out. A major positive for Philadelphia is the improving health of their dominant offensive line. Center Cam Jurgens, who was a full participant in practice leading into Week 11, appears to be back to full strength. His return solidifies the interior of the line and is a significant boost for both the run game and pass protection.
While the Eagles have had players like rookie OLB Nolan Smith on the injury report recently, the team seems to be getting healthier at the right time. With a potent offense and a raucous home crowd behind them, the Eagles will look to control the line of scrimmage and put pressure on the Bears’ secondary.
Prediction
This game will likely be decided in the trenches. The big question is whether the Bears’ potentially banged-up defense can slow down an Eagles offense that is getting its key offensive lineman, Cam Jurgens, back in the fold.
While the Bears are a tough team, playing on the road in Philadelphia is a daunting task. With the Eagles’ offensive line getting healthier, they should be able to establish their rhythm and control the game’s tempo. The 7-point spread is significant, but Philadelphia has the offensive firepower to cover it at home, especially if key Chicago defenders are limited or out. The total of 44.5 points is attainable, as the Eagles’ offense is capable of pushing the score up, forcing the Bears to play catch-up.
Prediction: Eagles 28, Bears 20
The Pick: Eagles -7
