Seahawks vs. Bears Prediction:
Take the Seahawks to win and cover on Thursday Night Football. Seattle needs to win to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Meanwhile the Bears have lost 9 straight games and can’t wait for this season to be over. The Seahawks have lost 2 straight games but those were against two teams that have clinched playoff spots and have lost a combined 6 games all season. Seattle is 4-1-1 ATS on the road this season. The Bears defense was strong earlier in the season but they have completely checked out, allowing 30+ points in each of the last 3 games and 4 of the last 5. They are one of the worst defenses against the pass in the league, ranking 31st in opponent yards per pass attempt and dead last in opponent yards per completion. They will take on a Seahawks offense that ranks 4th in passing yards per game and has the full squad of Metcalf, Smith-Njigba, Lockett, and Fant healthy. I’ll roll with the Seahawks to pick up a big win and cover in this matchup.
