Philadelphia Eagles Face Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football as Caleb Williams Is Ruled Out

Ahead of Monday Night Football on Sept. 28, the Philadelphia Eagles face the Chicago Bears. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is ruled out, with Case Keenum expected to start, and Saquon Barkley’s availability is also a factor. Betting previews favor Philadelphia to cover, while one projection model predicts fewer than 41.5 points, citing the Bears’ quarterback situation and the teams’ defenses. Promotional guides highlight offers for new sportsbook and prediction-market customers, including bet365’s $200 in bonus bets after a qualifying $10 wager and state-dependent BetMGM offers of up to $1,500 in bonus bets if a qualifying first bet loses. The guides also list other platform promotions and note eligibility limits, offer terms, and responsible-gambling requirements.
Bears backup Tyson Bagent had cleared concussion protocol, and one SportsLine expert said he could potentially enter if Chicago needed more offense. The expert also noted Case Keenum was making his first start since 2023 and had not completed a pass traveling at least 20 air yards since 2019.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates each NFL game 10,000 times; the article said it entered Week 3 on a 53-41 record on top-rated picks dating back to 2024 and had generated more than $7,000 in returns for $100 bettors since its inception.
A Covers prediction-market guide said eligible new Kalshi customers could use code COVERS60 for a “Trade $25, Get $60” offer. The promotion required an eligible-state location, identity verification and a $10 deposit; the bonus was restricted to Kalshi’s Predictions product and expired after seven days.
The sportsbook guide said Chicago ran the ball 40 times against Philadelphia in a Black Friday game the previous year, with its running backs recording 255 rushing yards—historical context cited by an analyst expecting the Bears to lean on the run again.
