NFL Week 3 Monday Night Football Best SGP Picks—Eagles At Bears

The Chicago Bears will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Monday Night Football, closing out Week 3 of the NFL season. The Bears enter the game as 3.5-point underdogs and will start veteran quarterback Case Keenum for the first time since 2023, due to the absence of Caleb Williams. Tyson Bagent serves as the backup. A three-leg same-game parlay (SGP) for this contest includes Keenum throwing at least one interception, a bet supported by his historical turnover tendencies and the Eagles’ strong defensive secondary.

Case Keenum’s last NFL starts were at the end of the 2023 season where he threw multiple interceptions. His high turnover-worthy throw rate from 2023 and potential rust make it likely he will throw an interception against the Eagles, who have yet to allow an interception this season but were much more effective with 12 interceptions in 2025. The betting odds for Keenum to have over 0.5 interceptions in the game are set at -133 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The other two legs of the SGP focus on Eagles’ wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks surpassing receiving yard thresholds. Smith, after a modest Week 1, exploded for 117 receiving yards in Week 2 and is thriving against Chicago’s man and single-high coverage schemes, both of which rank highly in usage compared to the league average. Smith has been particularly effective running routes against these coverages over the past three seasons, making the over 71.5 receiving yards at -112 odds a strong bet.

Dontayvion Wicks has likewise started 2026 strong, logging 73 and 74 receiving yards in his first two games. His snap share and route participation are high, and he performs well against the Bears’ defensive tendencies. Wicks’ ability to create yards on routes versus man and single-high coverage supports the prediction that he will exceed 40.5 receiving yards, with betting odds at -114. This SGP bet combining Keenum’s interception and the two Eagles receivers surpassing their yards marks is offered at +490 odds, providing an intriguing wagering opportunity for Monday Night Football fans.
