Why Bet Seahawks versus Bears

Seattle had the Minnesota Vikings on the ropes.

But the Seahawks couldn’t close the door and ended up losing 27-24 after Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson caught the go ahead TD.

The Seahawks face a much easier NFC North opponent on Thursday night.

Although Caleb Williams has shown flashes of being a solid NFL starter, the Chicago signal caller faces a secondary that has been decent in 4-of-7 games against much tougher quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers, Kyler Murray, and Brock Purdy. (Remember to check out: Betting NFL Week 17 Quarterbacks picks.)

Also, Kenneth Walker III is healthy, which means Seattle has two running backs, Zach Charbonnet is the other, who can dominate a Chicago defense that has allowed 30 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games.

Why Bet Bears versus Seahawks

The Chicago Bears couldn’t stop Jared Goff and the Lions in NFL Week 16.

Still, Caleb Williams had a decent game.

The first pick in the NFL Draft thew for 334 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

Caleb also led the Bears in rushing yards.

The rookie has been playing well and should have no trouble taking it to a Seahawks’ D that although has shown flashes often outperforms on the road.

If the Bears’ D can step it up, the Williams to Keenan Allen connection, which has been on fire in recent weeks, could lead to Chicago ending the losing streak.

Seattle at Chicago Final Betting Prediction

The Seahawks are the favorites because Chicago has been a disaster in their last nine games.

However, there are signs that the Bears may end the losing streak on Thursday night.

For starters, D’Andre Swift is healthy and should be effective in this game.

By effective, I mean that Seattle will concentrate on stopping Swift, which will open passing lanes for Williams to get the ball to Allen and D.J. Moore.

The Bears defense faces a Seattle offense that has had moments but has also struggled because DK Metcalf is playing with an injury.

The prediction is that this is a high scoring game that ends on a Caleb Williams drive that leads to a game winning Chicago field goal.
