The wind is gonna likely mean more reliance on the running game for both sides.  If Barkley is still on the struggle bus, that may not be an awful thing.

With the Eagles attacking the vulnerable second level and tush pushing their way to 1st downs on down and short, they’ll play keep away all game. I’d be very surprised if the bears pull this off but Ben Johnson is one of the few play callers who can match wits with Fangio..

If the Eagles really commit to the run, they are going to be tough to beat. Barkley and the QB run should do well today against the Bears D and the replacement LBs. If they pass, I think whoever is facing the Eagles backup RT can do some damage. Would love to see some interior pressure as well from DL or blitzing. I expect a lot of blitzing. Treat Hurts like you did Rattler. He has 1 INT this year, but is not the most accurate QB.

On O, I dont feel like a team has truly "stopped" the Bears. Bears have just killed their own momentum at times, and taken more potential points off the board. Eagles LBs are super aggressive. They want to play downhill fast. Misdirection and counters will work against them. In the pass game, they are working in a new S and another who's not 100%. They've had issues on in-breakers and vs playaction (aggressive LBs) which the Bears love. And I think this could be a big Loveland game. Eagles played GB and Detroit right after they lost Kraft and LaPorta, respectively.

24-20 Eagles.  I think the Eagles stick with a multi-faceted run attack including a lot of Hurts runs.  Bears come to play but just can’t do enough to stop them.  On O there will be some moments but the Eagles stiffen in the red zone.  It’s a tough game. We all know that.  Bears drop this one.

I think the Bears get this one.  I think Johnson can outscheme Fangio.  It'll be a close game, but I think the Bears can pull it out.
