Neil ParkerFri, November 28, 2025 at 2:25 PM UTC·3 min readAll eyes will be on the NFC tape-measuring matchup between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday, November 28, with the two division leaders going head-to-head in a standalone showdown.
My top NFL picks and Bears vs. Eagles predictions are calling for star quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Philly defense to do the heavy lifting in a Week 13 win over Chicago on Black Friday.

Bears vs Eagles Best bet: Eagles -7 (-110)
The Chicago Bears have won seven of their eight games by one-possession results and have sent out one of the worst statistical defenses in the NFL.
A road date with the Philadelphia Eagles on a short week sets up to expose a fraudulent Chicago defense ranking 25th in defensive DVOA while allowing the sixth-most points per game and third-most yards per play.
Chicago has also benefited from pacing the NFL in takeaways (24), while Philadelphia has turned the ball over the fewest times in the league (six).
Of course, the Eagles have also been money at Lincoln Financial Field winning 15 of their past 16 and covering the number in nine of the past 12.

Philly has faced the fourth-hardest slate per PFF and third by DVOA, while Chicago has gone up against the third- and second-easiest schedules, respectively.
I’m also anticipating a statement bounceback from the Eagles on both sides of the ball after allowing 24 unanswered to the Dallas Cowboys to lose in Week 12, and in particular on defense.
The defending champs rank top 10 in PFF defense grade, defensive DVOA and EPA per play while allowing the eighth-fewest points per game, after all.

Bears vs Eagles Black Friday same-game parlay
I’m anticipating Philly exposing the Chicago defense, and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts stuffing his stat line.
On top of all the highlighted defensive shortcomings, the Bears are also tied for the third-most passing touchdowns allowed to opposing quarterbacks (22) while allowing QBs to run for a league-high 6.74 yards per carry.
This is also a spot where I’m not anticipating Philly taking its foot off the gas after the noted blown lead in Week 12.
