History
The Bears and Eagles have faced each other 41 times in the regular season and four times in the post season. The Bears lead the regular season series 28-12-1, while the Eagles lead the post-season series 3-1. The Eagles have won four straight overall, with the last win coming in January – the Double Doink game. The Bears haven’t beaten the Eagles since 2011.
Predictions
The Eagles are coming off a statement win against one of the league’s best defenses and one of the league’s mediocre offenses. They will be playing a team almost identical to the one they beat last weekend, except without much of a threat of a quarterback scramble. With the final two games in November being rough games for the Eagles, this is almost another must win to bring their record to 5-4 heading into the bye week. I expect them to do just that in the “Jordan Howard revenge game” and beat the Bears for a fifth straight time 21-10.
