6. * I'm bad at picking games. Two toughest ones.

Packers @ Bears and Niners @ Eagles

I’m rooting for Da Bears. I like both teams but Caleb is as advertised. He’s impromptu and can flick it like Mahomes. Fun to watch.

The Niners can put up a lot of points. The Iggles have scored more than 20 only 3 times since their bye week (9 games) - 2 of those were against the Raiders and DC. They mustered 21 in a loss to Dallas. All 3 of those defenses could suck-start a Harley. They also have only given up 20+ 3 times in the same span. If it’s a grind - Philly. If it’s not - SF.

Today Charlotte looks mostly dry but rain and thunder will be near. Chicago is going to be cold and windy (16MPH) at game time
