At 9-1 SU, the Philadelphia Eagles are undeniably the best team in football and are flying at a level we haven’t seen since Donovan McNabb was under center. Philly will look to push its win total to double digits against the Chicago Bears in Week 12.
Sportsbook opened the Eagles as 13.5-point home favorites with a total of 44.
The 3-7 Bears will have their hands full vs the Eagles, but Philadelphia has to be careful not to overlook them. Considering the Eagles have a three-game road trip with stops against the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants awaiting them, it’s going to be important for them not to look too far ahead.
Trailing 9-7 at the half to the Dallas Cowboys last week, Philadelphia’s offense exploded to the tune of 30 points in the second half to hammer “America’s Team” 37-9. That’s the kind of year it’s been for both the Eagles and bettors who have been tailing them. In Philly’s last seven games, they’re a perfect 7-0 ATS.
The OVER is trending when the Eagles and Bears get together, evidenced by three of the last four meetings between the teams going above the closing total.
