The New York Giants almost did it. They had Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick in check, and all Giants quarterback Eli Manning had to do was hold on to the ball. When Manning fumbled away the Giants chances of beating the Eagles, many NFL betting experts wondered if Michael Vick is as lucky this season as he is good. The scores that Vick and the Eagles have been putting up are exceeding predictions, but the question remains as to whether or not the Eagles are really the best team in the NFC.
The Chicago Bears are hanging with the Green Reebok Arizona Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald Realtree camo Jersey
Bay Packers at the top of the NFC North, but every week the experts keep waiting for the Bears to tumble back to the bottom of the division. The Bears have a decent defense, but their offense has not been very helpful all season long. Running back Matt Forte and the Chicago running game has been a disappointment, and quarterback Jay Cutler has been as unpredictable as always. In this game we will find out what has been keeping the Bears going.
Offense
The Bears have the 30th ranked offense in the league. It is unusual to see a division leader with an completely ineffective offense, but that is what is going on in Chicago. Quarterback Jay Cutler is having an average season putting up 2,064 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and throwing 10 interceptions. Running backs Matt Forte and Chester Taylor have combined for just under 800 total yards rushing. The Bears offense has no kick and no punch. There is also the turnover issue with Cutler beyond the interceptions as he is prone to putting the ball on the ground when he is under pressure as well.
Not much can be said about Michael Vick and the Philadelphia offense that has not already been said. Vick has matured as a quarterback and now looks for the pass in scrambling situations rather than instinctively taking off to run. People forget that Michael Vick possesses a cannon for Reebok Baltimore Ravens #5 Joe Flacco Realtree camo Jersey
an arm, and when he uses it right he can be a very dangerous passer. Vick and the passing game help to compensate for a weak offensive line. But that offensive line could be the undoing of the Eagles against an attacking defense like the Bears.
Defense
It is almost impossible for a team to get any serious yardage off the Bears defense within five yards of the line of scrimmage. But once you get past Urlacher and the rest of the Bears linebackers, the task of picking up yards against the Bears becomes a bit easier. If Vick can keep an eye downfield and find DeSean Jackson roaming in the secondary, then the Philadelphia offense could completely dismantle the Chicago defense.
The Philadelphia defense was able to stiffen against the Giants, but if Eli had not fumbled that ball then it would have been a different football game. The middle of the field seems to always be open in the Eagles defense, but the Bears do not have the weapons to exploit the middle of Reebok Baltimore Ravens #27 Ray Rice Realtree camo Jersey
the field.
The Bottom Line
The Eagles run on a little more than Vick magic, they know how to exploit a bad opposing secondary and the Eagles defense knows how to pressure a quarterback. This game will be close, but the Bears offense will wind up cracking before the game is done.
Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
