NFL Week 3 odds: Eagles open as road favorites against Bears
Are you betting on the Birds?
Philadelphia Eagles are currently 2-0, having narrowly defeated the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans. In the upcoming Week 3 matchup, they will take on the Chicago Bears. The Bears, under Ben Johnson, showcased strong offensive production in Week 1, scoring 59 points on the Carolina Panthers. However, they struggled in Week 2, only managing three points in a home loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury.
The Eagles are listed as 3.5-point road favorites against the Bears, according to FanDuel. Should Williams be unable to play, fourth-year signal caller Tyson Bagent will take over. Bagent, with limited experience, has a 73.0 passer rating from his limited starts in 2023. The Eagles have a mixed record against the spread this season, going 0-2 after failing to cover spreads in both home and road games.
Jalen Hurts is favored, but questions remain about the team's performance in critical areas. The defense may benefit if Jonathan Greenard returns. The reporter leans towards taking the points, but reserves the right to reconsider.
