Eagles vs. Bears MNF Intel

The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Chicago Bears to conclude week 2 of NFL betting with Monday Night Football on ESPN. Sportsbook software Chicago is -3 with a total of 42.5. However, bettors will have to lay a little extra juice to bet on Chicago, anywhere from -112 to -120. The total is straight across the board. The line opened at the Bears -1 and 43. Stevie Vincent of OffshoreInsiders.com says it was not so much sharp action that moved the line, but the Eagles injury report.

Philadelphia is very thin at DB with Leodis McKelvin now out. Chicago added No. 1 pick Kevin White to play alongside Alshon Jeffrey and many believe this will cause matchup problems for the depleted Eagles secondary. With a database that goes back to 1989, OffshoreInsiders.com reports that winless home favorites are 1-4 against the spread against undefeated teams on Monday Night Football. Ironically the only exception was in 1994 when the Eagles covered against the Bears.
