4* Money-Maker
(NFL) Chicago vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -108.00 Chicago (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking the BEARS here. I am the first to put it in my write ups. The Bears defense is living off it's past reputation. But this offense is the real deal. RB Forte might not be Shady McCoy, but the guy is very good. Add in a pair of WRs that are just reeking havoc on secondaries and QB Cutler is going to have a field day vs a not so good Eagles secondary. This game can easily be a shoot-out. Foles has been nearly perfect in Chip Kelley's system. But I am backing the Bears here. I'm trying not to put too much stock into Matt Cassell and Matt Asiata (who?) putting up 48 on this Philly crew last week. I just think the Bears offensive talent is on par or better than the Eagles. Both teams obviously must win for any chance of play-off action. What really clinches it again for me though is the Bears WR tandem vs a banged up secondary, and one of the worse defenses in the league. 4* Money-Maker CHICAGO BEARS
