Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears Preview

This Sunday in the Windy City in a NFC match up the Chicago Bears (4-1) host the Seattle Seahawks (2-2). NFL betting lines have the Bears as 7-point favorites in this game with a total of 37.

The Bears have not lost at home this season (2-0) while the Seahawks have yet to win on the road (0-2).

Last week Seattle had a bye and they really needed the time to regroup after getting killed by the Rams in week 4 only scoring 3 points. To say the Seattle offense is not playing well is an understatement, as they only rank 23rd in the league in passing yards per game and only 29th in rushing yards per game.

Seattle is hoping that trading for RB Marshawn Lynch can help out their struggling running game that only picked up 65 rushing yards in the loss to St. Louis a couple of weeks back.

The Bears will get QB Jay Cutler back after missing last week with a concussion. Even though the Bears won last week backup Todd Collins had a horrible game and Chicago welcomes back Cutler, who has the 5th highest QB rating in the league.

This season the Seahawks are 2-2 ATS and the Bears are 3-2 ATS.

In their last 11 games on the road facing teams with a winning record Seattle has only covered the spread one time.

In their last games the Bears beat the Carolina Panthers 23-6 while the Seahawks lost to the St. Louis Rams 20-3.

Jay Cutler (912 yards 6 TD 3 INT) leads Chicago and their 24th ranked passing offense and he has played well this season, but he needs to get protection from the offensive line. A couple weeks back Cutler was sacked 9 times against the Giants, which led to him getting a concussion. The Bears offensive line has given up the most sacks in the league this season (21). He will be facing a Seahawks’ D that has 11 sacks this season. Football betting

If the line can protect Cutler he may put up big numbers against a weak Seattle secondary that has given up an average of 302 passing yards per game.

The reason the Bears won last week was their defense and especially the play of RB Matt Forte, who rushed for 166 yards and 2 TD. He will have a tougher time picking up yards in this game since the Seattle run defense ranks 2nd in the league.

QB Matt Hasselbeck, who has been up and down this season, leads Seattle and in the last game against the Rams was a down game only passing for 191 yards with 0 TD and 1 INT. The big key in this game is the play of the offensive line for Seattle, as they really have to worry about Bears’ DE Julius Peppers and LB Brian Urlacher.

The Seattle offensive line may lack cohesion in this game, as this year’s 6th pick in the draft OT Russell Okung will get his first start of the season and OT Tyler Polumbus will be playing his first game at right tackle. The RB’s have to help out on pass blocking, especially against Peppers.

Seattle RB’s Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett will have to pick up some yards in this game to help Hasselbeck out. The Bears’ defense has been stellar defending the run, but has struggled, at times, defending the pass.

The Bears will come out and play well in this game, as QB Jay Cutler will have a huge day against a suspect Seattle secondary. The Chicago D will wreak havoc in the backfield of Seattle and keep the Seahawks from picking up big yards in the air and on the ground. Chicago will move to 5-1 on the season, as they will win this game and cover the 7-point spread.

Betting Trends

Seattle is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10, and has an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 games as a road underdog.
Chicago is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, 2-5 ATS in their last 5 home games, and has an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

In the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams the total has gone Over every time.

Pick: Bears -7
