As the NFL season schedule continues to roll out and we start to take a look at the NFL odds, we have been blessed (or cursed) with a Black Friday game that should get the people talking. 

The Philadelphia Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, will host Caleb Williams and the new-look Chicago Bears. 

Kick off for this contest is Friday, November 28, at 3:00 p.m. ET.

o46.5 Total u46.5

There are plenty of key talking points surrounding this contest, but the one that will hold its weight is how Ben Johnson will get the most out of this Chicago Bears side. We saw what he did with a stacked Detroit Lions offense, and with a lesser offense (albeit talented), many will wonder what kind of effect he'll have as a head coach.

There is always a risk when betting on a football game that's still six and a half months out, but given this key number of seven, I'll bite on a team that will be eager to impress this year. 

The Bears will have a new HC in Ben Johnson, and many people hold him in high regard for his ability to run an offense. 

He'll have a full complement of weapons to work with, including Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet. And on defense, they should be stout in the trenches and on the outside. 

The Eagles, fresh off their Super Bowl victory, could be in for a letdown this year, and while this November clash is three months into the season, things could snowball if the team isn't 100% focused from Week 1.
