Eagles Host Bears in Must-Watch NFL Black Friday Showdown

UPDATE: The excitement is building for the 2025 NFL Black Friday Game taking place on Friday, November 28, at 3 p.m. ET. This year, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) will host the Chicago Bears (8-3) in a critical matchup as both teams vie for playoff positioning.

After suffering a shocking 24-21 loss to the Cowboys, where they squandered a 21-0 lead, the Eagles are looking to reclaim their dominance. The Bears, on the other hand, aim to extend their impressive four-game winning streak following a 31-28 victory over the Steelers last week. With both teams at 8-3, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Betting enthusiasts won’t want to miss out on the action. The Eagles enter the game as seven-point favorites against the Bears, with an over/under set at 44.5 points. For those interested in betting, a plethora of sportsbook promotions are available for the Eagles vs. Bears face-off.

DraftKings, bet365, and FanDuel are offering enticing bonuses for new users. For example, the bet365 bonus code CBSSPORTS provides new players with $150 in bonus bets when they place a wager of $5 or more. Meanwhile, FanDuel rewards new bettors with up to $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins, while DraftKings offers $200 in bonus bets with a winning wager of at least $5, plus free NBA League Pass for three months.

This matchup is drawing significant attention from analysts. SportsLine NFL expert RJ White pointed out, “The Bears have now won eight of their last nine, yet they’re not getting respect due to the quality of their opponents.” He emphasizes the importance of this game for both teams, particularly the Eagles, who need to prove they can maintain their elite status.

Both teams have potent offenses. The Bears rank eighth in the league with an average of 26.3 points per game, while the Eagles, despite their star-studded lineup featuring Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, sit in the middle of the pack at 23.2 points per game. With the Bears’ defense struggling at 26.5 points allowed per game, the Eagles may find opportunities to capitalize.

As the clock ticks down to kickoff, bettors and fans alike are gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable showdown. With significant implications for the playoff race, this game is more than just a tradition; it’s a crucial stepping stone for both franchises.

Moreover, responsible gaming remains pivotal. All sportsbooks provide tools to help users engage responsibly, including wager limits and self-exclusion options. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, reach out to resources like the Problem Gambling Help Network at 1-800-GAMBLER.
