Bears vs. Eagles: Matt Forte Will Destroy Dream Team's Defense

Richard LangfordNov 7, 2011

Matt Forte is going to have one of the best games of his career in the bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Forte is having a stellar season despite the Bears' poor offensive line. Monday night the Bears weak offensive line will be balanced out by the fact that the Eagles defensive line is not good at stopping the run.

Philadelphia is 19th in rushing yards allowed per game. Their run defense looks even worse when you look at their yards per carry average. They are 28th in that category.

This will lead to Forte finding something he has seen little of this season: running lanes.

Running the ball will not be Forte's only avenue to success in this one. Running the ball is only half of what makes Forte dangerous. The Bears' running back is also their leading receiver.

This season Forte has 38 catches for 419 yards.

Forte will have plenty of opportunities to add to those numbers in this game. Football Outsiders ranks the Eagles 30th in stopping opposing RBs in the passing game.

Forte is going to be a true dual-threat in this game and he will put up big numbers.

Fantasy owners of Forte are in for a big night in the week's last game. Forte will put up one of the bigger fantasy numbers of this season in this one.

Prediction: 122 rushing yards and one touchdown and 74 receiving yards and one touchdown
