Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears Preview & Picks

Seattle are backed to cover the spread as they win this Thursday night game.

The Seahawks have lost the last two, but those games were against good teams and that is not a term you would use to describe the Bears.

  • Seattle Seahawks are 4-1-1 ATS on the road this season
  • Chicago Bears are 0-3-0 ATS since firing Matt Eberflus
  • Chicago Bears are on a 9-game losing run
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of Seattle’s last 4 games

Head To Head

  • Seattle Seahawks lead the all-time series 11-8
  • Chicago Bears won 25-24 when the two teams last met in December 2021

Seattle Seahawks Form

Seattle enter this matchup one game behind the Los Angeles Rams in the race to win the NFC West.

The Seahawks opened the season with three consecutive wins, only to see their form nose-dive over the next several weeks.

They lost five of their next six games, but rallied in November by starting a four-game win streak that kept them in the postseason hunt in the NFC West.

Seattle won 20-17 at San Francisco, and then followed up a 16-6 home win over Arizona with road victories against the New York Jets, 26-21, and Arizona, 30-18.

The Seahawks’ run was ended by a 30-13 loss at home to Green Bay, and they failed to bounce back last weekend as they fell to another NFC North team, losing 27-24 to Minnesota.

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago are simply playing out their schedule thanks to a miserable run of form that has seen them lose each of their previous nine games.

The Bears won the season-opener against Tennessee, and then rebounded from back-to-back defeats with a three-game win streak.

They downed the Los Angeles Rams 24-18 and blew out Carolina 36-10 at home, before heading to London for a 35-16 rout of Jacksonville.

Chicago’s season collapsed after a disastrous final few seconds at Washington, as they embarked on a long losing skid that ended their playoff hopes.

The Bears dropped some heart-breakers along the way, but since Matt Eberflus was fired they have suffered a string of blowout defeats, including last Sunday's 34-17 loss to Detroit.

Verdict

Seattle are fighting for the NFC West crown, so a meeting with Chicago is good timing for them.

It may be a long road trip, but the Seahawks are backed to roll over a Bears team who let go of the rope several weeks ago.
