NFC Division leaders go head-to-head on Black Friday as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Chicago Bears at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Bears (8–3, 1st NFC North) have won eight of their last nine games and enter Friday’s contest on a four-game winning streak after a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles (8–3, 1st NFC East) look to rebound from a loss to the Dallas Cowboys that snapped their own four-game undefeated run, despite a strong showing from wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Philadelphia enters as a seven-point home favorite, while Chicago sits as a +260 underdog. The game’s total is set at 44.5 points.
Ahead of the Friday matchup, here’s my favorite A.J. Brown prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best A.J. Brown Prop Bet for Bears vs. Eagles
Best Bet: A.J. Brown 6+ Receptions (+152)
It’s been a strange season for Philadelphia’s star wideout. Brown, 28, has hauled in just 46 receptions for 567 yards and four touchdowns through 10 games — a noticeable dip for a receiver who’s topped 1,000 receiving yards in five of his first six seasons. The three-time Pro Bowler was also engulfed by a sea of trade speculation before the deadline, fueled by visible frustration and an increasingly murky role within the Jalen Hurts-led offense.
But Brown stayed put at the deadline — and while he only saw three targets in his next game, the tide quickly shifted. The former Ole Miss standout has seen double-digit targets in each of his last two outings, catching seven passes against the Lions and eight against the Cowboys. He has now recorded six or more targets in four games this season.
Brown looks poised to remain a central piece of the Eagles’ passing attack against a Bears defense that ranks 15th in receiving yards allowed and has surrendered 39 receptions of 20-plus yards, the third most in the NFL.
Count on Hurts to keep feeding Brown after his recent surge, and for the veteran receiver to continue producing on Friday afternoon.
