Alexander did not play in the first matchup and I think this meeting will be alot closer. I also love Seattle plus the points Sunday.

I was surprised it opened this high...Seattle's previous thumping at Chicago, dubious road record and extra week for Bears D to heal must all factor but yeah, Grossman has not done anything for me to justify laying this kind of chalk.

A lot of people will go against Seattle because of the regular season thumping, plus the injuries on defense. I think Seattle has a good shot here. QB is better, running game is better, coach is much better. Bears better on defense, but they didn't look so great toward the end of the season. I see a 20-17 type of game.

I like over seattle defense is suspect also when grossman airs it out berrian is there to receive Hassleback should light it up with branch and stevens because it will be needed. I think running game for seattle will only come into play if they get the lead (big if)but the bears will score TD's forcing seattle to throw. Shit the bears D is good for 1 score themselves guaranteed or return special teams. Bears will jump out early so play the bears and over 1st half. Seattle will be playing from behind all game and fir that slight chance they do win it will be by a late TD because they will trail by at least 6 all game.

If wallace was QB for the day I would take the seahawks.
If only Huard played for KC they would have beat the colts.
All these starters are too inconsistent and when the backup gets the shot everyone has showed up the number 1.
Grossman might stink in many peoples opinions but the bears still win win he does, and they adapt
If Hassleback has a bad game forget it lights out for seattle, the only thing they have to their advantage is being in it last year

I think Seattle covers EASILY and has an excellent chance to win outright. See my reasoning in seperate thread.

Trap, Trap, Trap
This game has trap bet written all over it.
Taken the bears will be the correct play this weekend. The Bears have not been playing thier base cover 2 defense since the Patriot game. A lesson lovie learned last season when they lost to the panthers. They have been giving teams garbage video clips for weeks now. Hence them being an almost 9 point favorite. U would think the line would be at 3 but its not because if it was everyone would take Chi-Town.
This will be a slick trap bet whoever takes seattle and the points.
trust me

Its pretty obvious that this year Grossman is either near razor sharp or completely worthless. If you look at Rex's only other playoff game (underated Panthers at Chi.) he played sharp enough to keep them in the game, it was the almighty defense and coaching that lost that game. Basically having the last 3 weeks off to prepare ( he even said he really didnt care about the Pack) and Seattle's weak secondary, even though they played good enough against Dallas, I see Rex having a good/great game. The Bears defense is a little more healthier then lately and it was obvious they had homefield advantage locked up after beating the Giants in week 10. I dont see the D and coaching having a letdown like last year. Entire team already has the confidence from the huge blowout of Seattle (without Alexander) at home in week 3.
9 is slightly high but the over looks solid.

I agree I think the line is begging you to take Seattle, which means I'm leanin' Bears. Seattle was a horrible regular season team, horrible road team, and terrible in the +/- department. Chicago is tied for 2nd in the league at +13 and Seattle sits at -9. And before you say Hasselbeck and Alexander were out, Hasselbeck had 15 INTs in 12 games and Alexander had 5 fumbles. This team is terrible and in no way is built for the playoffs. The only reason they are even playing this week is because of Tony Romo. Seattle overachieved to get here - Chicago in a blowout.

You gotta take 'da Bears in this one. If Seattle had played an opponent that actually showed up at the game ready to play last week, they would be watching this game from home.
Dallas made so many mistakes last week and still had a chance to win. The line is influenced by the perception that Seattle won last week. Seattle was just the next to last team to make a mistake last week.
Chicago will easily cover the spread.

Hard for me to lay money on Grossman. If I had to bet this game, it would be with the Seachickens. But Im not betting anything in this one. Good luck everyone.
