Top Eagles vs. Bears predictions
After 10,000 simulations of Eagles vs. Bears, the model is going Under 42.5 points (-111) at betting apps. With the Eagles offense underperforming against Tennessee and Chicago being without its prolific passer, offense could be limited. The Under has also hit in each of the last five meetings between the teams, including in Chicago's 24-15 win at Philadelphia last November. The Under hit in six of the Eagles' last 10 games and in five of the Bears' last eight.
Keenum has not played in a regular season game since 2023, when he was with the Houston Texans. He has a career 62.3 completion percentage with 79 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to the comeback win over the Titans, completing 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He was also picked off twice. The model projects 41 combined points, giving value to the Under in 54% of simulations. See which team to back at SportsLine.
