- Adam Thompson is backing the Eagles to cover as 4-point favorites despite Philadelphia being 0-2 ATS, citing Chicago's bottom-10 run and pass defense and expecting Saquon Barkley to get going
- Dontayvion Wicks has gone Over 39.5 receiving yards in both Eagles games this season (73 and 74 yards), and Prop Bet Guy Doug backs the Over against a Bears secondary running man coverage at the NFL's third-highest rate and missing Dallas Goedert
- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins or up to $1,500 if it loses, with availability varying by location
- A same-game parlay at BetMGM combining Eagles -4, Under 41.5, and Wicks Over 39.5 receiving yards pays +475
Why it matters: Williams' absence strips Chicago of the dual-threat element that powered their run game and shifts pressure onto a Bears defense already bottom-10 against both run and pass. BetMGM's promo gives new users near-risk-free access to a +475 same-game parlay, backed by a SportsLine model that has returned over $7,000 for $100 players since inception.
