Summary:
What a debut for Carson Wentz who looked anything like a rookie in last weeks’ big victory over the Browns. Yes, I realize the Browns are probably the worst team in the league but Wentz looked poised and had total command of the offense. The Eagles defense has the makings of one of the better units in the league. The Bears managed only 14 points against Houston and have another tall task this week against Philadelphia. Chicago has some pieces to build around but quality depth is a major question mark. I’m taking Philly on the roar in this one.
