Chicago Bears (8-6) @ Philadelphia Eagles (8-6)
This figures to be a good, high scoring, Fantasy points producing game. The Bears have a pair of WRs that have combined for more than 2400 yards receiving. That's got to bode well for any QB that throws them the ball. Last week, it was Jay Cutler and after throwing two early picks his stats showed just how valuable his receivers are. Brandon Marshall has been the guy for the last two seasons with Cutler. Since the beginning of last season, Marshall has 210 receptions, 2,743 yards, and 21 touchdowns. His chemistry with Cutler is incredible. Now he has another receiver competing for targets and both of them are producing. Alshon Jeffery has quietly become one of the best receivers in the game in just his second pro season. He's got just as many yards as Marshall with ten fewer catches and seven TDs on the season. I wish Icould start both these receivers every week. How could you go wrong with that. The Bears also have dual threat RB Matt Forte who has totaled more than 1600 yards and has scored 9 TDs on the year. The entire Bears team is a Fantasy machine.
The Eagles aren't bad themselves. QB Nick Foles is becoming the next big thing. He has excelled in Chip Kelly's offense and last week he threw for more than 400 yards. He's also only been picked off twice. Eagles RB Lesean McCoy is the NFL's leading rusher and has eight total TDs on the season. WR Desean Jackson has revived his career. He totaled 195 yards last week putting his season total at 1275. He had 9 TDs to go with the yards. This will be a hard fought game on both sides. Each team has a playmaker to counter the others. This is about as evenly matched as a game can be. So for me it comes down to which defense will step up. If the Bears get Lance Briggs back in time it will give them a needed edge. On the season though, the Eagles have kept opposing teams from scoring as much, though the Vikings did put up 48 against them last week. I like the home team in this prime time showdown. the Eagles will win.
My Final: PHI 41 CHI 35
