🏈 Week 13 Official Black Friday Game Thread 🏈 CHI@PHI, Nov 28th, 2PM CST, AMZ, CHI +6.5

I never would've thought that the Bears had a chance to be in a tie for the NFC with a win in this game, but here we are.

I don't think they will win, probably a 7-10 pt loss, but I don't think they will get blown out. My first thought is something like 27-20 or 27-17, but if they get some players back from injury, the defense may look a lot different, and it will need to be against Barkley and PHI's offense.

PHI has lost to NYG, and one score wins against MIN, GB, and DET in the last 6 weeks, so anything is possible. 

It will probably come down to turnovers and penalties. Since it is in PHI, they will have the edge with the officials for sure.

OK then, PHI lost to DAL. Bears and Eagles are both 8-3 heading into this game. I did not have that on the bingo card. So the outcome of the TB @ LAR game tonight will determine whether the Black Friday game is for the Conference Lead or 2nd in the Conference. If LAR wins, they will be the #1 Seed at 9-2 heading into next weekend. If they lose, the winner of the CHI @ PHI game on Friday will be 9-3, in sole possession of the #1 Seed until LAR plays on Sunday (against CAR). 

PHI has not looked good lately. Now 4-3 in their last 7 after starting 4-0. The Bears are 8-1 in their last 9, starting 0-2.

Dallas had two golden opportunities late in the game with a defensive turnover followed up shortly with a special teams TO near 10 yard line. Both times Dallas was unable to convert.  Think that says more about Dallas offense (not so good) as it does the Eagles’ D.  

Vic Fangio is still their D - coordinator so you know he’ll exploit whatever weakness there is on the Bears offense.  I agree I don’t see a win but not a blow out by any means. 🤞

I'll apologize in advance, but I believe we're gonna take an ass whooping Friday.  Philly is gonna be pissed all week.
