Another Eagles rout is in doubt

-

The Wild cat returns for his 21 st season in The Post. Including the 1997-2016 Bet tor’ s Guide, Cat’ s record in print stand sat 573-479(54.5percent) against the spread.

Bears (+13 ½) over EAGLES: Don’t believe this is as bizarre as it may appear at first glance. This is Philly’s easiest remaining regular-season spot (presuming Ezekiel Elliott makes it back for Dallas’ final two games). A threegame road trip follows. Eagles may believe they’re ready to go full-bore here, but at this price, entertain our skepticism. Even a narrow escape would set Philly minds right for the stretch run — while Bears fans reap rewards. Chicago keeps it close, for one unit. RAMS (-2½) over Saints: Rams HC Sean McVay’s defensive stalwarts hunkered down after an uneven opening month, and only the Seahawks and Vikings have been able to subdue the revitalize­d Rams since. New Orleans was virtually left for dead in the late stages of the fourth quarter vs. the Redskins, but erased a 15-point deficit in the late going to prevail in OT. After outscoring foes 77-20 in the two weeks prior to that flying finish, you might believe Saint point production could moderate, at least a bit. Rams and Jared Goff take advantage, for one unit.

LAST WEEK: 2-0. Buccaneers (W). Falcons/Seahawks Over 44 ½ (W)

SEASON: 11-12. Follow Wild cat Sports’ seasonal doings atwww.thesportsm­onitor.com.
