| Bears 34, Eagles 31 | Bears 38, Eagles 30 | Bears 38, Eagles 34 |
| The Eagles have an obvious edge in run defense but, like the Bears, are slightly below average against the pass. All adds up to a high-scoring shootout in the rain. Bears find a way to win. | I opened up my extra-long distance phone book, reaching out to Dick Schapp, Dick The Bruiser and Dick Young. Their consensus: Bears win. | On the strength of a huge Alshon-around in the 4th quarter, Mr. 4th Quarter Jay Cutler leads the winning drive. The Bears win the kind of shootout they're getting used to. |
| Record: 7-7 | Record: 9-5 | Record: 8-6 |

| Eagles 41, Bears 37 | Bears 34, Eagles 28 | Bears 42, Eagles 41 |
| I keep hearing about the Bears' improved defense the last few weeks, I just can't really find it anywhere on the tape or in the stats. By the way, the Eagles throw the ball really well too. | The Bears are 4-0 in night games this season, the offense is peaking at the right time and Lance Briggs returns to the defense. This is a confident team looking to keep rolling. | Make your travel plans for New York for early February... Jay Cutler for MVP. |
| Record: 10-4 | Record: 9-5 | Record: 8-6 |

| Bears 38, Eagles 35 | Eagles 38, Bears 34 | Bears 28, Eagles 24 |
| The Bears have more on the line than the Eagles. Jay Cutler and the offense will have to overcome a huge game from LeSean McCoy, obviously. | Both offenses score like crazy in a Sunday night instant classic. One Cutler turnover too many sends far too many people back to the McCown bandwagon. | I think the probable return of Lance Briggs makes the Bears D good enough to keep Shady McCoy under 200 yards. |
| Record: 11-3 | Record: 3-3 | Record: 7-7 |

| Eagles 31, Bears 28 | Eagles 38, Bears 34 | Bears 42, Eagles 17 |
| Do you really think we'll be denied a Packers-Bears season finale for the division title? | The Bears will move the ball against a porous Eagles secondary, but their run defense will have no answer for LeSean McCoy. | I'm in a HOLI-DAZE! Believing a reborn Bears defense will corral LeSean McCoy and fool Nick Foles, while Jay Cutler carves up the Eagles defense like a knife through a Yule ham. |
