If you are a fan of wide-open, high-scoring football, the Sunday night matchup between the Eagles and Bears at Soldier Field is probably not for you. This game has all the makings of a field-goal kicking contest thanks to some key injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Philadelphia does not know yet if RB Brian Westbrook will dress, and Donovan McNabb is at less than full strength.

The Bears need to capitalize and avoid blowing another double-digit lead like in their last two losses.

The 2-1 Eagles (3-0 ATS) may be forced to rely on its defense once again to lead them to victory.  Philly's D is the league’s best against the run (71.3 yards per game) and is fourth overall in total yards allowed.

Can the underdog Bears spoil McNabb's first game played in his hometown of Chicago in four years? The Eagles are favored by a figgie, natch.
