    Not Much Confidence in a Bears Win From Local Scribes................

    Tribune writers pick 'em: Bears at Eagles


    8:49 p.m. CST, November 6, 2011


    Brad Biggs (7-0)

    After rocky start, the Eagles have a multi-dimensional offense clicking with Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy presenting a host of matchup challenges for an up-and-down defense.

    Eagles 31, Bears 20.

    Matt Bowen (6-1)

    Lovie Smith has had success playing Cover-2 against Michael Vick, but the big-play ability of wide receiver DeSean Jackson versus the Bears' secondary will be the difference Monday night.

    Eagles 24, Bears 16.

    David Haugh (5-2)

    Wrong time for the Bears to face a more talented team hitting its stride. If the Eagles' deep threats don't kill the Bears defense, LeSean McCoy and the running game will. A phrustrating night in Philly.

    Eagles 29, Bears 23.

    Madden 12 (4-3)

    In a simulated game run by EA Sports for the Tribune, Michael Vick ran for the tiebreaking touchdown with 2:08 left. Matt Forte rushed for 187 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown burst.

    Eagles 17, Bears 14.

    Vaughn McClure (5-2)

    The Eagles seem to be catching fire at the right time. It will be difficult for Jay Cutler to go deep. LeSean McCoy might be the second-best running back the Bears face all season.

    Eagles 24, Bears 20.

    Dan McNeil (7-0)

    The Eagles lead the NFL in rushing; the Bears give up 5.2 yards per carry. The Eagles have speed at receiver; Bears safeties are green. And it's on the road on "Monday Night Football." Free money.

    Eagles 37, Bears 20.

    Fred Mitchell (5-2)

    The Bears will need takeaways and precise play on offense to avoid a road loss to the emerging Eagles. The offensive line must continue to protect Jay Cutler and create holes for Matt Forte.

    Eagles 27, Bears 20.

    Mike Mulligan (6-1)

    A physical, grinding running game combined with screens and check-downs will work on offense. Sadly the Bears defense will drop its safeties so deep Philly will own the middle of field.

    Eagles 27, Bears 20.

    Dan Pompei (5-2)The Bears have had the Eagles' number, but this is a different Eagles team. The Bears could have a hard time handling the Eagles' pass rush and their running game, led by LeSean McCoy.

    Eagles 27, Bears 23.

    Well it's unanimous. Not one of these guys picks the Bears to win so I hope they bust Biggsy undefeated record with a win tonight. It'll take a perfect game but we're due for one of those as an offset to that horror story in Detroit.

    I still think we're going to win a close game against the Eagles. My position is that the Eagles pass rush is not as good as the Vikings was, and their offensive line is still porous at pass protection, though they have blocked very well for LeSean McCoy. I figure that if we could stop Adrian Peterson, there's a chance that we can stop McCoy. The problem therein lies in how we are going to deal with Michael Vick. If past games are any indicator, we'll assign a man, usually Urlacher, to shadow Vick throughout the game.

    My prediction: Bears 27, Eagles 21.

    I got Bo Jackson on Techmo bowl, and going off that, Bo Jackson (Matt Forte) runs for 400 yards and the bears win by 50

    Yeah don't ya' just love it when not one of them shows any confidence in the Bears and they get it stuck right up their collective arse. I was watching the pregame and I think Ditka was the only one who picked the Bears there either. I really hope last night was a sign of things to come. I'm getting tired of trying to guess which Bears team is gonna show up each week.

    Ditka is a man whom I hold in the highest regard and esteem. He knows who buttered his bread for 11 seasons as a coach and six as a player.
