The Philadelphia Eagles are soaring toward a high seed in the NFC playoffs - and oddsmakers think they’ll have an easy time extending their winning streak to nine games as they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon.
Philadelphia owns a massive four-game lead in the NFC East, and can all but wrap up top spot in the division with a victory over a Bears team that has lost three in a row to sink to the bottom of the NFC North standings.

You’ll be giving up nearly two touchdowns with the Eagles this weekend – but Sports Interaction bettors aren’t scared off as of Wednesday, with a whopping 87 percent taking Philadelphia. The Eagles have been a bettor’s best friend over the past two months, covering in seven straight games overall. Chicago is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games against teams with winning records but has covered just one of its previous five games away from Soldier Field.
A whopping 92 percent of Sports Interaction bettors favor this game going over the 44-point total. The Eagles have exceeded the total in 24 of their previous 31 games against teams with losing records, and the head-to-head series has seen four consecutive over plays; the teams have combined to average nearly 55 points over that span. But the Bears have gone over just three times in their last 11 games after failing to cover the previous week.
Chicago Bears
It was hoped that Bears fans and bettors would see more from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in what was expected to be a shootout with the Detroit Lions. But Trubisky managed just 179 passing yards and a touchdown, and has gone over 200 yards through the air just once through his first six NFL games. This remains a run-first team, and that could be a major problem against an Eagles team allowing a league-low 71 rushing yards per game.
Philadelphia Eagles
If the Eagles reach the red zone, there’s a very good chance they’re turning that opportunity into six points. Philadelphia owns the top red-zone offence in football entering Week 12, scoring a touchdown on better than 73.5 percent of its visits. And the Eagles are also terrific when it comes to preventing red-zone scores on the other side of the football; teams score touchdowns on just 48 percent of their treks inside the Philadelphia 20-yard line.
