I found a ridiculous # that is almost 20 yards lower than the rest of the industry - so I can understand if people want to avoid it at the "industry" line - but I think it's a fair shot at that line as well.
Eagles RB LeSean McCoy Total Rushing Yards Over 88.5 [-115]
YES, 88.5 @ Intertops. Lowest I have seen elsewhere is 105.5. I can make the case for both numbers against this leaky Chicago rush D that is allowing 152 ypg. The key obviously is Master Chip remembering what brought him to this point. Last week, Philly abandoned the run early after falling behind and McCoy only got eight carries. Panic mode never bodes well for the run game, so Philly must stay the course and keeping with the run game should also help a defense that is going to be supremely challenged to stop the Bears multi-faceted offense. Shady has been on record this week, begging for the ball against this Bears D. I expect 20 rushes minimum as long as the game is either close to even or a lead for the Eagles. Cleveland did not take advantage last week, but most teams who can open both eyes and breathe free air - have. In the six games prior to last week, Chicago had given up 150, 146, 211, 109, 131 & 105 to an opposing rusher. Likely to be some rain during this game which may lend itself to more runs as well. 20 is the key number for this one to me. When McCoy has 20 carries or more, he has rushed for enough yardage to beat the 105.5 number in five of seven games. Not surprisingly, the Eagles have won 6/7 when this happens also. Look for a bit more emphasis on the rush tonight and this should have a pretty good shot to get done at both 88.5 & 105.5 or anything in between.
