The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football with a chance to improve to 3-0. Philadelphia has won its first two games by a combined six points, including a Week 2 last-minute victory over Tennessee.
Chicago is 1-1 and has ruled out quarterback Caleb Williams because of a hamstring injury. Backup Tyson Bagent is listed as questionable, leaving the Bears to decide whether he or Case Keenum will start. Whoever plays will benefit from a rushing attack averaging 212.5 yards per game through two weeks.
That ground game presents the greatest threat to the Eagles. Chicago rushed for 281 yards in its win over Philadelphia last season. Here are the current Eagles vs. Bears odds and two score predictions for the Week 3 finale.

Eagles 27, Bears 23: In a Week 3 bold predictions piece, Geoffrey A. Knox picked Philadelphia to win a close game without covering the spread. Chicago’s rushing production is one reason to expect a tight finish.
GE's projection
Eagles 24, Bears 17: Philadelphia’s advantage at quarterback and stronger overall defense provide a path to 3-0. The Eagles must first prevent Chicago’s rushing attack from controlling the game and protecting its replacement quarterback.
