Eagles vs. Bears Props Today: 3 Best NFL Picks, Player Prop Bets for MNF

Eagles vs Bears Prop Bets at a Glance

• Case Keenum Over 5.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
• Dontayvion Wicks Over 41.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
• Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 (-115)

Monday Night Football closes out NFL Week 3 with the Philadelphia Eagles traveling to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.

Philadelphia enters the matchup 2-0 after wins over the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans while Chicago is coming off a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears will also be without starting quarterback Caleb Williams due to a hamstring injury, creating another variable for a Chicago offense that struggled badly in Week 2.

Using the NFL odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as a guide, here are the best bets for this game.

Eagles vs Bears Player Props, Picks for Monday Night Football

Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 (-115)

The Philadelphia Eagles haven't exactly steamrolled their first two opponents, winning their first two games by a combined six points, but this matchup sets up well for the Eagles.

The Chicago Bears will be without both of their top two QBs (Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent), leaving Case Keenum to make his first NFL start since 2023 against an Eagles defense that has allowed only 166 passing yards per game through two weeks.

The Bears managed only three points against Minnesota last week, and asking their third-string quarterback to keep pace with Jalen Hurts and a loaded Philly roster is a difficult assignment.

With Philadelphia favored by 3.5 points, I like the Eagles to create some separation and cover on the road.

Dontayvion Wicks Over 41.5 Receiving Yards (-113)

Dontayvion Wicks has quietly started the season with 147 receiving yards on 10 targets, averaging 73.5 yards per game. He produced five catches for 74 yards on six targets against Tennessee last week, so his 42.5-yard prop doesn't require anything close to a repeat of that performance.

His opportunity should remain attractive Monday with Dallas Goedert ruled out, clearing the way for Wicks to be the No. 2 pass-game option for Philadelphia.

Chicago has surrendered 240 passing yards per game, ranking 23rd in the NFL through two weeks, making Wicks an appealing way to attack a vulnerable Bears secondary.

Case Keenum Over 5.5 Rushing Yards (-120)

Scrambling ability isn’t the first thing you think of when Case Keenum comes to mind, but I like the over on his rushing prop tonight.

Keenum hasn’t been a season-long full-time starter since 2018 with Denver. That season, he averaged 5.8 rushing yards per game. The season before, he recorded 10.7 rushing yards per game across 14 starts. He can move a little bit, and while those seasons were a long time ago, I think Keenum still has a little juice.

The Eagles’ defense let up the second-most rushing yards to QBs last year (23.5 per game), and with the Bears potentially seeing a negative game script, I like Keenum to go over 5.5 rushing yards.
