Monday Night Football: Bears vs. Eagles Projections and Stats

The Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles will fight the Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Monday night lights finds both of these teams headed in the right direction with each winning two straight, but a loss tonight could stop all that good will in the blink of an eye.

Philly and Chicago aren’t the most forgiving of sports towns and tonight’s loser will definitely find themselves on the outside of the playoffs looking in.

Series history favors the Bears (12-6 ATS, 5-1 ATS away) but a 3-15 SU and 2-15-1 ATS mark in their last 18 games when the O/U line is 45 or more points suggest they won’t be able to match scores with the high-scoring Eagles.

Unfortunately, Philly’s 1-7 ATS mark as favorites of more than 7 points off back-to-back SU wins and 1-5 ATS log versus the NFC North says they might be able to take full advantage.

Andy Reid is 15-6 ATS on Mondays, including 10-2 ATS off a SU win, but Lovie (not Thurston) checks in with a 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS record of his own on the first day of the work week.

We may decide later if we’ll be eating deep dish or cheese steak on Monday, but for now we’ll pass.
