Bears at Seahawks odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 24, Bears 16
Money line
The Bears have obviously been struggling. Their only win in their last nine games was a last-second Thanksgiving win over the two-win Detroit Lions.
The Seahawks, before their loss to the Rams Tuesday, had won two games in a row, and Wilson appeared to have returned to form after coming back from the finger injury that sent him to injured reserve earlier this season.
Seattle is only 2-4 at home, but Chicago is 2-5 on the road. The Bears are 0-3 against the NFC West this season.
But in this game, PASS on the money line because there is no need to bet three times what you can win on this game.
Against the spread
The Bears are tied for the worst record against the spread in the NFL at 4-10 ATS. The Seahawks are 7-7 ATS.
The Seahawks have covered the spread in all three wins this season when they were favored.
Take the SEAHAWKS -6.5 (-112).
Over/Under
The Bears struggle mightily offensively overall this season, and the Seahawks allow the fourth-fewest points per game in the league, even though they allow more than 390 yards per game.
The Seahawks are certainly capable of scoring 30, as they have in three of their last seven games, but they have scored 15 or fewer in the other four. They are 3-10-1 O/U.
Take UNDER 41.5 (-110).
