🦅 The Eagles (12-1) are on the road to face the Bears (3-10) at Soldier Field at 1 p.m. Here are NBCSPhilly's predictions:
In the back of your mind, there’s always this fear of a trap game. Might the Eagles overlook the Bears as they get ready for a Christmas Eve showdown against the Cowboys in North Texas? But this team, led by Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts, has an unwavering focus and I don’t expect that to change this week. As long as that focus remains, I just don’t see how the Eagles are going to lose to the Bears.
And, offensively, the Eagles should be able to do whatever they want against the Bears. They have a non-existent pass rush so Hurts should be able to pick them apart from the pocket. And they also get gashed in the run so it could be another big-time performance from Miles Sanders.The Bears are in The Process. There is some Sam Hinkie-ism in the front office. This is why they have only won three games. The Bears have traded away too much defensive talent to compete.
This team is a machine, and the Bears are just the next in line to be meticulously torn apart. Sure, Justin Fields presents a challenge. But considering the defense has practiced against Jalen Hurts all season, they should be plenty prepared to deal with Fields’ mobility. Chicago’s defense traded away their best player in Roquan Smith and has been littered with injuries. Good luck.Many Eagles fans have worried about trap games all season long but so far the dreaded trap game hasn't appeared.
Luckily for the Birds, this Bears team stinks - particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Chicago's defense ranks 30th in the league in EPA/play, has allowed a league-worst 21 rushing touchdowns, and its rush yards per attempt sits in the bottom-quartile of the NFL. Oh, and they allow the fourth-most points per game.
