Philadelphia enters unbeaten, but the profile is not spotless: the Eagles have been outgained at times, have a negative turnover margin, and are giving up 293.0 yards per game and 21.0 points per game. Chicago has split its first two games, but the Bears are scoring 31.0 points per game, gaining 424.5 yards per game, and posting 6.1 yards per play. The Bears’ defense has allowed 23.0 points per game and 362.0 yards per game, which keeps this from being a strong moneyline case, yet it does support a close spread game rather than a blowout.
Philadelphia has the better record, but Chicago’s offense has been strong enough to keep this game tight at home. The Bears are averaging 31.0 points per game and 424.5 yards per game, while the Eagles are allowing 21.0 points per game and have not covered a spread yet this season. That combination points to a competitive game with the home side staying within the number. Final score projection: Eagles 24, Bears 21.
