Our NFL betting writer brings you his best Eagles vs. Bears predictions and picks for their Week 15 showdown, which is live Sunday on FOX at 1 p.m. ET.

The Eagles routed the New York Giants 48-22 last week to open a three-game road trip, improving to an NFL-best 12-1. Philadelphia clinched a playoff spot last week and holds a two-game lead, plus a head-to-head tiebreaker, on Minnesota for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Chicago has lost six in a row to fall to 3-10. The Bears are coming off their bye after being outscored 18-0 in the fourth quarter of a 28-19 home loss to Green Bay in Week 13.

The Eagles have topped 35 points in the past three games. In the past two contests, quarterback Jalen Hurts has passed for 597 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for two scores.

Since winning their first two games at Soldier Field this season, the Bears have lost four in a row at home, falling by a combined 18 points.

No team has more total touchdowns (50) or rushing scores (27) than the Eagles.

Although the Bears trail by notable margins in both categories — 30 and 16, respectively — they still have had success moving the ball, averaging 25-plus points in the past seven games.

Look for Hurts and the rest of Philly’s offensive firepower (Miles Sanders, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, et. al.) to frustrate the Bears. But don’t be surprised if Chicago quarterback Justin Fields, who contended with an illness during the week, to keep flourishing, too. He has rushed for at least 50 yards and a TD in six straight games.

After thrashing the playoff-contending Tennessee Titans and Giants by a combined 51 points in the past two weeks, the Eagles set their sights on a struggling Bears ‘D’ that has allowed a league-high 21 rushing touchdowns and managed a league-worst 16 sacks.

Philadelphia carries far more offensive (and defensive) firepower than Chicago, led by big-play threats Brown and Smith at receiver. Tight end Dennis Goedert is eligible to return after missing the past four games with a shoulder injury, tilting the advantage to the Eagles’ attack even more.

Bears running back David Montgomery rushed 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay, visiting the end zone for the second time in three games.

Although Fields, as with the rest of the team, has enjoyed the benefit of the bye, the Bears would be wise to scale back his exposure — if that’s in Fields’ DNA, of course.

Fields missed the Bears’ road loss to the New York Jets preceding the Packers game, and now comes a formidable Philadelphia front seven that features five players with at least six sacks, led by 10 from Haason Reddick.

Featuring Montgomery more often can keep the Eagles guessing while helping to keep Fields upright. Montgomery matched a season high with 17 carries at Atlanta in Week 11.
