Eagles vs. Bears Prediction
Philadelphia continues their dominance of the NFL this season after a victory over the New York Giants in Week 14. Philly now sits atop the NFC with a 12-1 record.
The Eagles have arguably one of the most potent offenses we’ve seen in recent history with how their roster is currently constructed. Any given week, they can beat any opponent in a myriad of ways, and it’s the biggest reason why they currently sit 11 games above .500.
Philadelphia is not limited to being a one-dimensional offense. They can pick what facet of their offense to lean on any given week. The Eagles can be strategic in where they attack. They don’t need to put too much pressure on their QB or their run game to single-handedly win games week after week, and it’s a massive testament to how this team has been built.
Looking ahead to this matchup against Chicago, it shouldn’t be a particularly close battle, given how far apart these rosters are in terms of total talent. Chicago has some playmakers on offense, which will force the Eagles’ defense to remain vigilant. However, the Bears’ defense simply lacks the defensive pieces to slow down Philadelphia’s offense.
As long as the Eagles can execute on offense, take care of the football, and control the clock, they should easily move to 13-1 on the season.

From Chicago’s standpoint, they now have lost six games in a row. But the season has gone exactly how their front office had hoped. The Bears were entering into a reset season with the new regime — evidenced by the trading of Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, and Roquan Smith on the defensive side of the ball.
Chicago was never going to compete for a playoff spot this season. Still, major questions surrounded their QB and whether Justin Fields would be the long-term answer for a team that desperately needed a franchise QB.
Fields has proven to be exactly what Chicago was hoping for when he was selected No. 11 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He honestly may even be more than what the city had hoped for, given how he’s performed with the lack of talent surrounding him.
He — and the offense — have a tough task ahead of them on Sunday facing off against this Eagles defense. With that being said, as long as No. 1 is out there for Chicago, this game could remain close with his ability to rip off an explosive play with his athleticism.
