Eagles @ Bears... Eagles gonna get smacked down. That Bears defense is the best and most consistent unit in the playoffs so points gonna be hard to come by for Philly. On the other side the Eagles secondary is winning with smoke and mirrors, not enough talent in the secondary to make the Bears inconsistent QB pay.

Seahawks @ Cowboys... I like the Shehawks in this one. Dallas has the better defense, but I think in what should be a very close game Wilson will make the difference.

Colts @ Texans... Colts surprise me every week. Still don't believe in them. I think the Texans have a clear advantage in this one and don't think it will be close.

Chargers @ Ravens... Crazy to see a 12-4 Chargers team go on the road in the wildcard round. Just nuts. But IMO they're a better team in every way than the Ravens, only way they lose this game is if their head coach can't keep it together under the playoff heat.

Bears @ Rams is going to happen. Here's hoping the Rams' staff is baking that Bears defense HARD in the film room starting now.

As long as we dont show what we showed against the Bears first time around. We will be good....Assuming this was why we played poorly against the bears first time around...

I think our offense is going to struggle vs that defense tbh. Key is avoiding turnovers and playing field position, and our defense is going to have to show up in that game by at least not giving up easy points.

IMO our playoff potency is all about our defense. And in this final stretch they have done a pretty good job too, with Talib settling down the secondary a bit. So while I don't think we're a juggernaut by any means we do have as good a chance as anyone and that's a good feeling. (y)

as long as mcvay has goff in the mindset of taking what the defense is giving them the rams should be alright. i have no doubt we will not see a repeat performance of the first bears game.

With CJ behind Gurley now, kind of turns the tables. Now we have opened up alot more oppurtunities for our O to be effective. Hoping our Sec becomes more of a factor with precision.

Eagles shock the world and beat the Bears. As bad as the Eagles are in the secondary I don't believe Trubisky can exploit them.

No matter what anyone says Eagles are recent superbowl champs. Doug P is probably playing possum...Now days you have to be esoteric.
