We have a pretty good matchup for this weeks Monday Night Football game. The Bears come into Philadelphia with a 4-3 record. Jay Cutler has led his team with 1702 Passing yards and 9 TDs. The Eagles, or "Dream-Team", bring a 3-4 record into the Monday Night game. After starting off slow, Michael Vick has hit his stride with 1852 Passing Yards and 11 TDs.
The Bears have been known for their Defense. Brian's Urlacher, Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs have given out plenty of bruises this year together. The teams weakest part has to be their offense. Jay Cutler has struggled for the Bears. He has found a way to get his team 4 wins this season. Along with returning sensation Devon Hester, Matt Forte has proven he is worth a healthy contract. Forte has 672 yards on 124 carries and 2 TDs. He also has 419 receiving yards and 1 Td. He is a big factor in this game.
On the Philadelphia side, Mike Vick has been a fantasy football hero. His versatility has made him one of the best QBs in the league. LeSean McCoy has been just as impressive this year. The 3 year vet has 754 yards on 135 carries and 8 TDs. Although DeSean Jackson is not the team leader in the receiving category, DeSean is one of the fastest players in all of the NFL. If Vick gets the ball into Jackson's hands, it can be deadly.
The key for the Bears is to match Vick. The Eagles are coming off of a huge defensive performance against their rivals the Cowboys. If Jay Cutler and make time for himself and make his passes, the Bears can stay in the game. For the Eagles, Vick and McCoy have to establish the run game. The Bears D is tough. If they can get the run game going, they should come out with a W.
And my prediction is......
Chicago Bears 17
Philadelphia Eagles 27
