Once upon a time there was no more impressive bet on NFL choice than Seattle. Indeed, The Seahawks were a perennial Super Bowl contender with an electrifying quarterback. However, things have now deteriorated to the point where they are underdogs at a bad and rebuilding Chicago team. Last week’s opening loss at Denver hardly helped as the public has become weary of Seattle. For this purpose, many gamblers are considering the Bears. But another factor to consider was their heartbreaking loss at Green Bay on Sunday Night Football. As a matter of fact, the Bears face a character test.

Seahawks vs. Bears TV Coverage: ESPN
Chicago Bears
Chicago led at Green Bay 20-0 before an epic collapse for the ages. They ended up as 24-23 losers upon allowing a 75-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Randall Cobb with 2:13 to play. New Bears coach Matt Nagy could not have had a crueler Bet on NFL debut. Because if this he must bring all motivational skills to this matchup. Of major concern is Chicago quarterback Mitchell Trubinsky. To illustrate were his 23/35 for 171 yards performance at Green Bay. Most important of all he was sacked four times. Cause by Rodgers superior play came a loss.
Seattle Seahawks
Seattle led at Denver 24-20 early in the fourth quarter and also failed to finish. With 11:11 to play Denver took a 27-24 lead and never looked back. In this situation Russell Wilson was once feared. By reason of his inability to bring Seattle back doubts about a decline have increased. Wilson is seen as long too coddled be head coach Pete Carroll. Besides, Carroll is seen as a coach that may have squandered too much talent in its prime. Balanced against that is the Seahawks one Super Bowl title and two appearances.
Stats to Consider
Seattle has been a weak road dog recently. To demonstrate the Seahawks have paid in just two of their last seven in that situation. Five of their last eight as away pups have gone over the total. Balanced against that is the Bears terrible marks as a home chalk. To show Chicago has covered just four of their last 18 laying points at Soldier Field. Just one of their last five as home chalks went over the number.
Team vs. Team
Seattle has had the upper hand in their offshore bookmaker series with Chicago. To be exact the Seahawks are 6-2 vs. the line in their last eight against the Bears.

The last six meetings between these teams in the Windy City went over the number.
Matchup to Watch
