My read from last week
We did not weigh the weather heavily enough against Minnesota’s defense. Philadelphia has been finding ways to win ugly, close games rather than simply blowing opponents away.
Matchup analysis
Philadelphia kept drives alive in Tennessee but needed a late touchdown to win. Chicago’s quarterback uncertainty is now broader than the early-week hamstring diagnosis: Caleb Williams is week-to-week and not expected to practice, while Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol. Case Keenum is the healthy quarterback practicing. The lower total is consistent with that uncertainty, but it is a market move rather than a guarantee of a low-scoring game.
Availability and news to watch
Caleb Williams is week-to-week with a right hamstring injury and is not expected to practice this week. Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol, leaving Case Keenum as the quarterback practicing Wednesday. Bears quarterback update
