 The Eagles (5-4) lost at San Diego 23-31 in Week 10 and now sit second in the NFC East. QB Donovan McNabb made 35 of 55t passes for 450 yards with two TD passes and one interception; overall he’s thrown for 1,685 yards with 12 TD passes and four interceptions for a 95.1 passer rating. RB Brian Westbrook had six carries for a low 28 yards, while WR Jason Avant made eight catches for 156 yards. WR Jeremy Maclin and TE Brent Celek each added a TD. Philadelphia is unlikely to have Brian Westbrook available, so the rookie LeSean McCoy will take over the running duties . While McCoy has shown promise this year, coach Andy Reid has appeared hesitant to give him too many carries. The Eagles are best offensively when they have balance, and McCoy is the key to providing that with his running ability. The Eagles running game is ranked 22nd while their pass game ranks ninth. Their defense is solid. They are ranked ninth overall with a 10th ranked pass defense and an eighth ranked rush defense. CB Asante Daniels leads his team with five interceptions. DeSean Jackson has six TDs this season, all from outside of 50 yards and TE Brent Celek has a TD in three straight games. The Eagles average 26.2ppg and give up 20.4ppg, while they are 2-2 SU on the road where they average 24.2ppg and allow 17.8ppg. They are 5-4 ATS and 7-2 over/under.
The Bears (4-5) lost at San Francisco 6-10 in Week 10 and still sit third in the NFC North. QB Jay Cutler made 29 of 52 passes for 307 yards with five interceptions; overall he’s thrown for 2,353 yards with 14 TD passes and 17 interceptions for a 76 passer rating. RB Matt Forte had 20 carries for 41 yards and eight catches for 120 yards. TE Greg Olson made seven catches for 120 yards. The Bears were 0-2 in the red zone and 0-1 on goal to go. In three primetime outings this year, the Bears QB Cutler has thrown a stunning 11 interceptions . While all three of those games were on the road, Cutler has to do a better job of ball security -- especially against an Eagles defense that thrives on forcing turnovers. After a great rookie season last year RB Matt Forte has hit a wall, he seems to lack the explosion he displayed at times in 2008. His ability to get going on the ground will help ease the pressure on Cutler to make plays. Forte has 482 yards rushing with three TD’s. The Bears average 20.7ppg and give up 22.3ppg, while they are 3-1 SU at home where they average 29ppg and allow 21.2ppg. They are 4-5 ATS and 4-5 over/under.
