Unless the Bears have an epiphany, we’re not having high expectations for this crew for the rest of the season. Philadelphia’s ballhawking defense will pin back its ears, come after Jay Cutler and force enough turnovers to win this one handily. We’re 7-2 picking Bears games this season, and we’re feeling pretty good about this prediction.

The Eagles have been wildly inconsistent, and Andy Reid has arguably taken the torch of "worst late-game manager" from Mike Martz. At the same time, the Bears have shown some surprising creativity in losing games. I expect them to enter the fourth with a lead, only to see Mt. Carmel legend McNabb win the game with a pass to DeSean Jackson after Jackson runs under Charles Tillman's legs to get open.
Prediction: Eagles 24, Bears 21

I see this as a high scoring game with a lot of turnovers and bad football.  Jay Cutler hasn't shown that he can make good decisions in the red zone and I don't think that is going to happen any time soon.  If he can't do that they will lose once again in a way that will make Bears fans hit the bottle.
Prediction: Eagles: 30 Bears 23

Maybe the Bears have a chance if it's close, but it's tough to see how they'll stop Donovan McNabb and Co. and how Jay Cutler will have enough time to throw. This would be a great week for Matt Forte version 2.0 to play like version 1.0 to create some time and space for Cutler. If Cutler can walk off the field under his own power the Bears should consider it a moral victory.
Prediction: Eagles 20, Bears 10

Consensus: Eagles win
