THE Monday night NFL action comes from Soldier Field in Chicago where the Bears welcome the Philadelphia Eagles.
Neither team are expected to challenge for honours this season but the Eagles began the season with an impressive win over Cleveland Browns last weekend while the Bears suffered an opening-day loss to Houston Texans.
Chicago are favourites on home soil at 10-17 with Betway to bag their first win of the campaign while Philly are 8-5 at William Hill.
Snooker's Shanghai Masters cues off this morning with John Higgins and Liang Wenbo among the players starting their title bid.
Let's hear all your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.

Jordy didn’t take long, nice one Jordan.
Morning gents. Had the night shift and have just finished watching the end of that monstrosity of a showing from the Packers, but mostly Aaron Rodgers. I’m sure that won’t do him any favours on John’s QB standings. It was a bad day all in all though with the Lions doing most of the damage and downing both five point bets. Three TD’s called back for penalties killed them and they couldn’t stop the Titans on 4th down who deserved the win in the end. The props were hit and miss with four from seven with both live game props landing. A loss all in all but with some protection from the week 1 wins its not too bad.
Looking at tonight’s game I’m taking a receiver who was favoured heavily by his QB last week and will take on extra work with Zach Ertz out of action. Jordan Matthews caught 7 of 14 targets for 114 yards and a TD last week against the Browns, and with Brock Osweiler getting some joy from the deep ball against the Bears last week, I imagine Wentz will be able to connect with Matthews on a few occasions.

Two bets posted one winner Oakland over 46.5 and Denver over 45.5 9/4 small profit on the night. Few shocks last night so well done to any winners.
Well just finished watching the game. Awful that was. One winner and two losers for me yesterday. Wish I’d been brave enough to take the Titans on the ML.
I might have a bet tonight but won’t be up until midnight if I do.
Jack. They won by one point on a 4th and goal conversion after three TD’s for the Lions were disallowed. Hardly would have been a solid tip. Good job you weren’t brave enough to back the Colts either I suppose.
Jheeze, chill out. No you’re right I didn’t back either, but had I backed both simple maths tells me that would have been a good profit…
Was never a tip was it. My tip was the Titans +10.5. My advice was to stay away from the Lions which lucky or not proved correct.
I’m not here for any arguments and I have agreed with you alot but seems you’re super annoyed because my opinion differed from yours in one game.
You tell me to concentrate on tips. But we all know you’re a fantastic tipster so maybe you should also concentrate on that rather than jumping down the throat of anyone who has a different view on a game.
Look forward to your tips for tonight if you post.
Hi all tonight’s nfl game over 41.5 pts 4/5 coral .chicago v eagles gl if having a punt ?
Was a shame about the Lions yesterday, looked dominant in the first half too!
I quite like the look of Ryan Mathews over 18.5 rush attempts 5/6 PP
Carried it 22 times for 77 yards in week one and with Miller carrying it over 100 yards against the Bears theres a chance the Eagles will try and exploit this defensive weakness.
Chicago Bears -3 @ 10/11
Chicago Bears to win by 13-18 points @ 13/2
I feel that the Eagles are a young and promising team in offence, but it’s not easy to go to the bears. I feel they have the ability to pull away early. If they do it or not is another question.
Evenings guys, your main man Max, and even I was it hard with yesterdays results. Cooks and OBJ fell a few yds short of covering, Jags and Giants were a big let down for me, However Williams did land me a tasty winner at 11/4 to wipe out some losses but it was a poor day for me and I have a responsibility to my followers to get better. With a 70% success rate in week 1 were still ahead. I learned 2 things from last night.
1. This league is unpredictable, small stakes advised until we see some real form. Even I only advise my followers 1-5pt on a tip.
2. Jacksonville are nowhere near a Superbowl team, and anyone thinking about betting on them DONT.
That’s the future onto tonight’s game and I suspect it maybe a decent game and the Eagles are the underdogs, I like the look of the boy Wentz and will the Bears without their starting QB, like Jordan I can see him forcing the ball deep, I can see him putting pts on the board so I am taking O19.5pts for Philly at 10/11 Stan James.
I like Matthews line, and that’s been rightly flagged up but with Ertz out I am on Celek who has seen a drop off over the years but if he suits up he is 10/3 to score at Hills and as a low line of 32.5yds 4/5 Bet365.
On the Bears side of the things WR Jeffrey could be in for a nice game if A) the Bears line can keep Cutler clean and B) if Cutler can throw a few decent passes instead of being on his back side all night. Jeffrey is evens to score Various and his line is 80.5yds at 4/6 Bet365. If the Bears can lead early on and the fans aren’t on Cutler back, Langford can pick up some easy yds and with one or two big runs then he can cover O60.5yds at 17/20 Ladbrokes.
Philly O19.5pts 10/11
Jeffrey O80.5yds 4/6
Langford O60.5yds 17/20
Celek O32.5yds 4/5
To Score
Jeffrey 1/1
Celek 10/3
GL
Celek starts so got to have chances, Another one that has chances I like Jordan’s Matthews tip and him to score and Jeffrey to score is 9/2 Skybet for anyone who fancies a high scorer, and by that I mean seeing O3.5tds in the game.
