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.

Eagles at Bears picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 28, Bears 17
Moneyline
PASS on the Moneyline.
If you are a Bears fan and want to make a wager, the +325 is your way to go. For anyone else, this should not be a wager. The Eagles are humming and with a game against Dallas upcoming, they will need to make sure to get this win to remain 2 games up on Dallas heading into that game. There are some underdogs you can bet on the moneyline. The Bears in this game are not one of them.
Against the spread
BET EAGLES -8.5 (-110).
Before Sunday, the Eagles were only 1-4 covering the spread on the road. As 6.5-point favorites against the Giants, the Eagles won the game 48-22. While David Montgomery is not injured, it will be difficult to get going in this game as with both Mooney and Claypool out, the Eagles will load up on the line and come after Fields in this one. With Fields being pressured and unable to get much going, the Eagles defense will suffocate the Bears and make points hard to come by. This line has dropped from 9.5 down to 8.5. So, people are trusting the Bears. I am not one of them. I will use this point of movement to get a better number for my favorite play in this game.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 48 (-111).
With the Bears being one-dimensional in this game, the Eagles will clamp down and force the Bears into several 3 and out situations. While this is happening, the Eagles could easily score 48 themselves. They did it on Sunday against the Giants. But with Dallas on the horizon, the Eagles will just look to get in and out with no injuries. I do not see the Eagles getting to 40, and I do not see the Bears getting over 20. I like the Under 48 (-111) in this one.
