The Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants and New Orleans
Saints seem like good locks to win their divisions (the Pack and Niners you can
pretty much mark it down already). That leaves the two NFC wild-card spots to be
fought over between clubs like the Cowboys, Lions, Bucs, Falcons and tonight’s
two Monday Night Football participants, the Eagles and Bears. Thus a win here
could be huge in terms of a wild-card tiebreaker. Philly is an 8-point favorite
on Bodog’s NFL football odds with live in-play betting available. Get all your NFL player props and NFL team props at Bodog’s online sportsbook. The Eagles are starting to look like the Dream Team they were being called in
the preseason. Philly has won two straight and looked very impressive in last
week’s 34-7 clobbering of Dallas. Behind LeSean McCoy and QB
Michael Vick, Philadelphia is No. 1 in the NFL in rushing.
McCoy had 185 yards and two scores against Dallas, which had been the NFL’s
top-ranked team against the run. The Eagles are 3-4 largely because they lead
the league in turnovers (17) and rank 24th with 16 touchdowns on 35 trips inside
the 20. The Bears (4-3) were off last week after beating the Bucs in London 24-18 in
Week 7. The remains Chicago’s only win away from Soldier Field. Matt
Forte continued his MVP-like play by rushing for 145 yards in that one.
Forte has averaged 138.2 rushing yards and 6.2 yards per carry in the last four
games and also leads the Bears in receiving with 38 catches and an 11.0
yards-per-catch average. He leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 1,089 and
is on pace to break the league record. Forte is the first player since 2004 to
go over 1,000 yards after seven games since Priest Holmes
and Tiki Barber in 2004. Injury-wise, the Bears get a
potentially key player back in WR Earl Bennett, who has missed
the past five games. This is the fifth year in a row these two have met; Chicago won 31-26 last
Nov. 28 in the Windy City (Bennett caught two TDs). Chicago is 4-3 following the
bye week under coach Lovie Smith, including 4-1 since 2006. But
the Eagles are 11-4 in past 15 prime-time games under coach Andy
Reid. Get all your NFL
