Eagles vs. Bears predictions: Chicago barely getting any love for Week 13 showdown

We have a Friday game this week, as the Chicago Bears will travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Bears come into this contest red hot, as head coach Ben Johnson and Co. have won four straight and eight of nine to catapult themselves into first place in the division.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are coming off a loss to the Dallas Cowboys that saw Philly blow a 21-point first-half lead. The Eagles are still sitting pretty at 8-3, but there's zero doubt this team is not playing its best football this season.

An Eagles loss on Friday would allow the Cowboys to inch closer in the NFC East. As for the Bears, they'll get knocked out of first place if they don't beat the Eagles in Week 13.

With just hours to go before kickoff, here's what experts are predicting will happen in this Black Friday matchup between Chicago and Philadelphia.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News: Eagles 24, Bears 20

Iyer: "The Eagles had a chance to pull away in the NFC East in Week 12, but they were non-existent in the second half. That unacceptable disappearing act negated a strong first half by Jalen Hurts. He needs to take games more into his hands (and legs) with more aggressive running and passing. That will be the key to outdueling a hot Caleb Williams in Philly."

Bill Bender, The Sporting News: Eagles 28, Bears 20

Bender: "The Bears continue to win close games under Coach of the Year candidate Ben Johnson, but now the schedule gets more difficult. Caleb Williams has taken just five sacks through a four-game win streak. The Eagles are 4-1 S/U at home, but only one of those victories was by more than a touchdown."
