Who is favored to win the Eagles vs. Bears Week 3 game?
Chicago went 11-6 in 2025 in Ben Johnson's first season, beat Green Bay in the Wild Card round, and lost in overtime to the Rams in the Divisional round. The Bears opened 2026 with a 59-37 win over Carolina, then lost 9-3 to Minnesota, when Williams hurt his hamstring in the fourth quarter. Johnson has called Williams week to week, and backup Tyson Bagent is in the concussion protocol. Neither practiced Friday, and multiple reports say 38-year-old Case Keenum, who has not played since 2023, is expected to start. Kicker Cairo Santos (hip) also missed practice Friday, as of this writing.
Philadelphia reached the playoffs for the fifth straight season under Nick Sirianni in 2025. Sean Mannion is the new offensive coordinator, and Vic Fangio is back for his third year running the defense. The Eagles beat Washington 24-22 and won at Tennessee on a last-minute touchdown catch by Darius Cooper to open 2-0, though the running game with Saquon Barkley hasn't taken off yet. Barkley (stinger) practiced fully Friday. Tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) and receiver Hollywood Brown (ankle) did not practice Friday, DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was limited, and left guard Landon Dickerson is on injured reserve, as of this writing.

What the Kalshi market says
Kalshi traders have the Eagles at 65% to win and the Bears at 35%, as of this writing. That makes Philadelphia a clear road favorite, and its price jumped after Williams was hurt against Minnesota.
What is the point spread for Eagles vs. Bears in Week 3?
Kalshi traders have the Eagles winning by more than 4.5 points at 44%, as of this writing.
What is the projected point total?
Kalshi traders have over 41.5 total points at 53%, as of this writing.
What is the biggest storyline in the Eagles vs. Bears Week 3 game?
It is who plays quarterback for Chicago. Williams had never missed a game as a pro, starting all 36 regular-season games since 2024, and the Bears appear headed for their third-string quarterback. Johnson's offense scored 59 points in Week 1, but it managed only three against Minnesota. The Bears beat the Eagles 24-15 in 2025 by running for 255 yards, and leaning on the ground game again may be the plan with Keenum under center.
What are the Eagles' and Bears' expectations entering the 2026 season?
Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles expect to contend for another Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts, Barkley, and a Fangio defense. A new play caller in Mannion is still working to get the run game going.
Chicago Bears: After winning a playoff game in Johnson's first year, the Bears want to take the next step with Williams. His health over the next few weeks will shape how that goes.

Kalshi traders have Philadelphia at 65% on the road against a Bears team that may be starting its third-string quarterback. The swing factor is whether Chicago can run the ball well enough to stay in the game. Kalshi's prices for Eagles vs. Bears will keep moving until the game ends.
