Eagles vs. Bears picks headline Monday Night Football in Week 3, with Philadelphia favored on the road against a Chicago team missing rookie quarterback Caleb Williams due to a hamstring injury. The betting line ticked down slightly after the announcement, but expectations remain that the Eagles can control the matchup.
Eagles vs. Bears picks: Best bets for Monday Night Football
Eagles -3.5
Road favorites have struggled this week, but the handicap here still points to Philadelphia. The Eagles project to reach the mid-20s on the scoreboard, and it is difficult to map out a path for Chicago to top 20 points with 38-year-old Case Keenum starting.
Tyson Bagent has cleared concussion protocol and is available, but Keenum is set to lead the offense. Even with confidence in Chicago’s coaching creativity, this matchup tilts toward the Eagles’ methodical, possession-driven style that tends to squeeze undermanned opponents in prime time.
Monday Night Football player props
Case Keenum Over 0.5 interceptions (-122)
Chicago would prefer a run-heavy plan, but recent opponents have found little success on the ground against Philadelphia. That could force Keenum toward 30 pass attempts, increasing turnover chances if the Bears are trailing late.
The price is reasonable for a veteran stepping in against a defense capable of jumping routes.
Dontayvion Wicks Over 41.5 receiving yards (-110)
Wicks has quickly become a reliable target in Philadelphia’s attack, posting multiple outings above 70 yards and fitting well alongside Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith. This number is attainable against a Chicago secondary that has struggled to contain secondary receiving options when conditions have been favorable.
Monday Night Football anytime touchdowns
Saquon Barkley (-115)
Philadelphia is unlikely to rely on a high-volume passing script near the goal line. Expect a steady commitment to the ground game, with Barkley leading the way and seeing high-value touches in scoring territory.
Tank Bigsby also offers longer odds as a supplementary play.
D’Andre Swift (-105)
Swift profiles as a frequent outlet for Keenum’s counterpart, with usage both as a runner and receiver. That dual path to the end zone, plus anticipated involvement in red-zone concepts, makes him a straightforward anytime option even with tight end usage uncertain on the Chicago side.
