The original question was after the game, why would the Eagles be picked over the Bears to advance and play the Saints? I did not mention anything about the cities/markets. The reason that popped up in my mind was that Nick Foles is more recognizable than the Chicago Bear's QB.
There is no one size fits all to deciphering the script. It is based on the elite's agenda whether it's ratings, world events, natural disasters, player's legacy, economies, corporate sponsorships, etc.
I've made bold predictions (Cavs coming back from 3-1 deficit to win the 2016 NBA Finals, Trump winning the election) that turned out to be right and I have also made incorrect predictions. But even when I am wrong, that does not mean the events were not fixed/scripted. It only means I did not connect the dots correctly.
