Three keys to an Eagles victory vs the Bears in Week 12
By Jake Starr
Predictions
I do not think there is a person in the world that is picking against the Eagles on Sunday. They are without a doubt the much better team in this matchup. Philadelphia is winners of eight straight and has not lost at home in almost a year, while Chicago is struggling as they sit at 3-7 this season.
Obviously, crazier things have happened before, but this team is too well-coached to have a letdown. They may start slow like they did against San Francisco, but their firepower will be too much for the Bears to handle.
The Eagles defense will do an effective job of shutting down the run and forcing Trubisky to beat them with his arm. This will allow for the Eagles to go after the Bears quarterback and force him into some mistakes.

While the Bears defense is good, the Eagles offense is at this point elite. Playing at their home field should serve as a huge advantage as they should have no problem moving the ball on the Chicago defense.
Entering a tough stretch out west, a win will serve large for the Eagles in giving them a bit of breathing room in the NFC. They must continue to take care of business and that means pulling out a big win on Sunday.

The defense will shut down Trubisky and the Bears offense, and the offense will be lead by another big day from Wentz and the Eagles will put up a big win to move to 10-1 on the season.
