Eagles at Bears 1/6/19 - NFL Picks & Predictions

The NFL Wild Card weekend will conclude with a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears from historic Soldier Field. The defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles won nine games and benefited from a Minnesota loss to sneak in as the number six seed. On Sunday, Philadelphia defeated Washington on the road to notch their third straight victory. The Eagles outgained the Redskins by a dominant 360-89 margin on the afternoon.

For the season, Chicago ranks 21st in the league in total offense and is scoring 26.3 points per game. Philadelphia comes into the playoffs with a defense that ranks 23rd in yards allowed and gives up 21.8 points on average.

Philadelphia QB Carson Wentz (back) did not play on Sunday and is unlikely to suit up for this matchup. The Eagles won three straight games as an underdog to win the Super Bowl a season ago, so they cannot be overlooked. Unfortunately, a Chicago defense playing at home is too much to ask of QB Nick Foles and the Philadelphia offense. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Bears win and cover ATS 26-13.
