The main event of Wild Card Weekend features the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles facing off against the Chicago Bears. The last time the Bears were in the postseason was all the way back in 2010, when they won the NFC North and made it to the NFC Championship. After years of futile seasons, it appears that Chicago has their QB in Mitchell Trubisky, and they definitely have their new defensive star in Khalil Mack (thanks a lot Gruden
), and that put the Bears back in the playoffs. As for the Eagles, the team's Super Bowl hangover was so bad that they were actually in fear of missing the playoffs. After Carson Wentz went down, Nick Foles--the SB MVP--stepped in and led the way in the last three games, getting Philly back to the playoffs and putting them four wins away from repeating. The Bears are at home, but that team is not ready for primetime. Foles is; he proved that last year.
Prediction: Eagles by 7
