01/06/2019 - NFL Playoffs 2019 - Eagles @ Bears

"Bears Game-013" by Anthony Doudt
Sunday 1/6/2019
Philadelphia @ Chicago (-6.5) 41.5 O/U 

     Neither of these teams faced each other in 2018 so unlike the other games there’s not as much to go off of. I do like the Bears defense, but I expect their offense to struggle in this game. They find themselves relying too much on their young quarterback and Tarik Cohen. If you have any money on this game as I do, take a risk and go with the Eagles. They are the underdog so you will get better odds for you money. - JMoney

     I do agree with JMoney here that if you are betting on the game Philly is the play. However, if you are looking at players to use in your DFS lineups, I'm actually leaning towards stacking the Bears up. Now I won't go out of my way to make sure I have Mitch Trubisky, Cohen, Taylor Gabriel, or Allen Robinson, but if they fit I'll plug them in over Foles, Jeffrey and Tate. Zach Ertz would be the only plug and play for me, but I'd rather save some and go Ebron at TE. - MattyIce

     This is the last game on the slate so who's going to be the late night hammer that brings you into the cash? The Eagles secondary is BAD, so I'm liking the Bears receivers as I said above.  Give me some Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel, stacked up with Trubisky.  I don't think many people will be playing Eagles besides Ertz so if you are on board with JMoney, fire them up and be contrarian.  

Studs (high owned): Zach Ertz, Tarik Cohen
Under the radar (medium owned): Mitch Trubisky, Taylor Gabriel, Allen Robinson
Value (low owned): Trey Burton
Dart Throw (very low owned, high risk): Darren Sproles

    We will focus on the DraftKings showdown.  We have to plug a guy into the captain spot that has a lot of upside. I will be going a little different plugging in either Jeffrey or Agholor. I'm leaning more towards Agholor, because this should separate you from the field and allow you to plug in all the studs. I will be following it up with Ertz, Cohen and Jeffrey which leaves us two spots to fill.  With Howard coming off a huge game I’m going to plug him in and hope that Trubisky does not have a big day against a bad secondary.  For the last guy I’m going to plug in Gabriel (who will be low owned)hoping he breaks off some big plays.

    Looking at our lineup as a whole I would say this follows our motto you have to risk it to get the biscuit. This could very well come back to hurt us but I’m expecting the Eagles to throw the ball in hope of repeating last year's Playoff run. Good luck this weekend and let’s bring home the bacon.
