Seattle seahawks +155

[2daBank]

The bears are built on bend but don't break, they give up yards, but hold strong inside of their own 25. Seattle will have trouble punching it in in the red zone (so will the Bears). The bears are pretty good about not giving up the big play on the play action (with two deep safeties most of the time), and Russell seems to rely on a big play or two to keep his swagger.

i know their d homie,,, i understand it well, it cover 2..i like the point about wilson and big play, and i agree he will have tough time hitting that, i think he can be patient and take what they give him in the middle but maybe that stretch on my part as i like kid but you right he chucks it a lot..i agree both teams struggle to score which why +4 was very appealing to me,,id think 20 wins it and with hester out adv sea in special teams.. to me this has 20-17 somebody written all over it...

[Br0nxer]

obviously they kinda dictating they will beat closer by taking 1st line and hitting it where it moves.. guy in bases told me he used to just hit openers to create the move all the time...obviously they know there stuff and hitting smart plays, like you said win some lose some,,doubt the number came into play on most if i had to guess.. ive beat ton of numbers (lot this week it looks like) and not sure i feel great bout it, lol... appreciate you passing it along tho,,you always been ok with me bronxer...

the number comes into play a LOT...

just today the TCU opener which they had was a winner and closer was a loser

and last week 4 or 5 games on the opener were a winner and the closer was a loser

I like Wilson too, gotta love the guys who find ways to succeed against the odds. The special teams advantage I may have to disagree with, the Bears are spectacular with and without Hester on special teams, and I would give them the edge over basically anybody.
Anyways, there's a reason they play the games, and we'll find out tomorrow.

6% chance of landing on 7 with a spread of 7. For a given game the chance is small, but over 100 bets it is often the difference between winning and losing. NIU/Kent st another one, was between 6 and 8, NIU wins by 7.

in nfl? college hoops its huge..ncaa fb much more important...NFL very rarely i believe..if it crosses key number sure but that dont happen real often..think it was huge in the sea/chi gm tho..

yea that makes sense.. im not knocking anything bro...just saying beating spread closer in nfl really least important of any sport, especially if it not crossing key numbers... sea from getting +4.5 to the =3 now was pretty damn big, i think the half they got over me might be difference between win and push, but that exception not rule with nfl i think...

All I have to say is... Any given Sunday, I think Seattle is the play here. Marshawn Lynch will be in full beast mode on Sunday and Cutler will be bothered all Sunday (sacked at least 4-5 times, with 1 or 2 picks when he starts forcing the action). If your only reason for taking the bears is "seattle is a crappy road team" you might be in for a rude awakening on Sunday. Seattle has not won on the road, but then again they haven't been all that crappy on the road either (all loses have been by a TD or less). Something has to give eventually and I see its Chicagos Defense this Sunday.

^ sea is actually 1-5 on the road so not entirely winless but still close. Chi 5-1 @ home. I believe it'll be a close game hence why I bought down to chi-3 rather then -3.5.

Yea, I didn't meant hasn't won on the road as in (not a single win), I just meant they haven't been winning on the road. I think this will be a great game to watch though.

Bears lost 32-7 to 49ers
Seattle lost 13-6 to 49ers

Just looking at common opponents the seahawks D played better.
They are about the same in total yards and points given up.

Seattle and 49ers are in the same division. Totally different environment when these two teams play.

[Smoke]

Lang is on seachickens plus the points

[PaperTrail07]

seattle will have trouble consistently moving the ball....they will need to look for big plays and hope the D gets turnovers.....the bears need to establish a run then work in play action....in thinking this game stays close...points can never hurt

[d2bets]

This line is hilarious. Seattle comes in and gets slaughtered. Bears by DD.

[PaperTrail07]

im on bears....hoping for some home lucck

[PaperTrail07]

line is most confusing thing about this game...i woulda expected bears -5.5--6

I dont think they will, the seahawks have a back by the name of Marshawn Lynch who will run amuck and open up the passing game for Russel Wilson (who is also a running threat). Anyway, who ever wins the ground game, wins this game. I just dont see Forte getting it done against the hawks stellar D (not to mention the weak O-line for the bears).

[d2bets]

Brandon Marshall is Ah-Maz-Ing. How fukkin underrated has this guy always been? I think he has a legit claim as the best receiver in the league.

What happened with these big all-pro Sea DB's. They're invisible. Marshall is unstoppable.

[cankid]

that Lynch turnover was BS, u cant tell me no part of his body wasnt on the ground, stupid replay had shitty angles

[NavsPicks]

That's nfl.. Lol idk what your complaining about

[onacloud]

that Lynch turnover was BS, u cant tell me no part of his body wasnt on the ground, stupid replay had shitty angles

It was a fumble...

[Frisco]

2nd week in a row Sea lets WRs run all over their soft zone coverages making QBs look better than they really are

[Frisco]

Stuffed

[d2bets]

Bad Spot.

[d2bets]

Bennett dropped an easy TD

[onacloud]

Bennett dropped an easy TD

Hit him in the chest no excuse

Defense needs to step up here can't go into HT down

Yeah for sure. Coming from a guy who went an entire season (like 50 or so) without a single drop.

[onacloud]

Wilson out here making plays on us

I expected it from Lynch not Wilson

[NavsPicks]

Were done boys

[NavsPicks]

Wheu!!!! Saved us boys!

[onacloud]

Wheu!!!! Saved us boys!

Now block the FG

[Frisco]

I don't think it should have been overturned but a close call. Thought he had both hands under it

[onacloud]

I don't think it should have been overturned but a close call. Thought he had both hands under it

I agreed at first but did it honestly look like the tip hit the ground but since they ruled it a TD I didn't think they would overturn it

[freakydave]

seattle has been getting jobbed by the refs from the get go &they are still winning

[Frisco]

I didn't think they would overturn it b/c it was originally ruled a td. Would have loved to see how the Bears performed w/ the pressure of being down a td
