Game outlook
Philadelphia is on the road playing Chicago at the Soldier Field stadium on Sunday, 12/18/2022 @ 1:00pm EST. Philadelphia -8 was the opening favorite and current line is Philadelphia -8.5.
Justin Fields appears to be healthy on Chicago's injury report. With Fields back in action, the Bears will continue to be extremely dangerous on the ground this season, as they average more than 210 rushing yards per game. On the other hand, the Eagles allow more than 130 rushing yards per game on the road. This is a matchup with which the defense does not have a lot of experience, since they have only faced one mobile quarterback like Fields in 2022 (Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals).
The Bears are coming off a bye week. This is all the more reason to back them and to expect Fields to heal up and lead an offense that is capable. While Chicago has lost six straight games, three straight games during this storm stretch were won by a margin of no more than three points. Those scores were 35-32, 31-30, and 27-24. The Bears are mostly playing competitive offenses. In contrast, the Eagles have averaged more than 40 points over their last three games, and Jalen Hurts is playing at an MVP level.
Philadelphia Betting
With a power ranking of 3, Philadelphia is ranked #2 in offense (scoring an average of 28.17 per game), #8 in defense (allowing an average of 18.83 points to be scored against them per game) and are 12-1 (8-5 ATS) this season.
