The set-up: The Eagles come in off an impressive 31-13 win at Buffalo last weekend and I believe they carry that momentum over here. The Bears are trending in the opposite directoin after last week's 17-16 loss to the Chargers, their third straight.

The pick: The Bears have been solid overall defensively, but they're ranked No. 27 on the offensive side. I believe the Bears' defense suffers a letdown here after three weeks of disappointment. The Eagles look rejuvenated after last week's performance and note that they're 8-2 ATS in their last ten vs. teams with losing records. Conversely note that the Bears are only 1-4 ATS in their last five off an upset loss as a favorite. There's no way the Eagles "look past" their opponent today, as this is a "must win" for the home side. Look for the Eagles to deliver the knock out blow to the Bears' playoff hopes today.

8* pick on the Philadelphia Eagles.
