Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears Free Pick
We like the Bears here. They had a rookie making his first start at center and on the road plus their best guard Kyle Long seeing his first action. Defensively they had a secondary that on a whole was banged up and didn’t get a ton of play in preseason. A win is a win but getting a home victory over the Browns isn’t a status win. This week rookie QB Carson Wentz will be making his first road start so before you nominate him for ROY he’ll have to prove that he is up to the task.
Take the Bears -3
