5. Chicago misses another potential game-winning field goal as time expires.

This one ends dramatically, so let’s recap. Jordan Howard shines on the ground. So does Montgomery. DeSean Jackson returns but his presence is more about opening up the Eagles offense and providing opportunities for the likes of Nelson Agholor, who will lead all receivers in catches and yards. Stop laughing! he will!

Wentz and the offense will turn the ball over, but it won’t matter much. Mitchell Trubisky will continue to stink, and after all of that, ‘The Birds’ will still have a chance to win at the end. This one comes down to the Eagles’ defense, who will have to hold on late. They’ll force a third-down stop, and on fourth, Chicago will send out their kicker who will miss a last-second field goal.

Next. TV and radio, odds, and predictions. dark

To be honest, the ITI staff believes the Eagles will win by a score of 24-13, but for the sake of excitement, we’ll go with another scenario, one that serves up a dramatic ending.

Yeah, that sounds better for ‘bold predictions’ anyway.
