    Seattle Seahawks +4.5 over Chicago

    Getting 4.5 seems very generous is the reason why.
    Seahawks +4.5 (locking it in now, I believe that 4.5 will get bet down)

    Plus given the choice between Trubisky or Russel Wilson, I'll take Wilson 8 days a week.
    Both teams aren't very good on the ground rushing, Wilson is the superior passing QB in this match up, he's got two talented receivers in Lockett and Baldwiin

    I like Seattle's defense a little more than the Bears as well.

    Seahawks +4.5 2* tonight.

    Yes, you are correct, good catch.
    I knew he was running well earlier this week, I missed the part where Carroll ruled him out yesterday.
    Still like the points here though.

    Seahawks have ton of injuries on defense in addition to Baldwin being out.

    Bears DO have a good running game with Howard, with Cohen providing nice change of pace.

    Wilson is better QB but he is also the one that should be under more constant pressure from opposing defense.

    With all that said, I am passing on this game, don't want to lay more than a field goal.

    Why not just live bet it? If the Seahawks even put up a fg the line will drop to a -2

    I locked in this +4.5 last night and imo the Bears are like the Lions in last week's MNF game,no way am I laying 4.5 points with them..I'm going with a Super Bowl winning QB,a veteran Super Bowl winning head coach who called out Wilson last week so I think Wilson will be up to the task no problem here tonight...Also the Seahawks are 22-6-1 ATS and 24-4-1 SU in Prime Time games under Pete Carroll.This Includes an 8-2 record with 6 outright wins as an underdog in Prime Time games !

    I think the Hawks roll here tonight IMO.....BOL

    They actually looked pretty decent and then Rodgers came back and they wet the bed like the jags against pats last years playoffs and spent the entire second half trying to milk the clock instead of playing offense.

    Only way to do it imo is to have a side in mind before going in and try to get better than the gametime line on that side sometime in the 1st quarter.

    That would require me being online during the game, I'd rather have some family time before kids go to bed.

    I just have no faith the Hawks will score much, Wilson will be pressured all game and I expect a lot of 3 and outs, keeping the Bears D fresh. The Hawks D is hurt and will get tired again in the 2nd half, I think the Bears cover.

    Bears were embarrassed in prime time last week. These type of beats have a lingering effect on young teams. Would not surprise me at all if hawks win straight up. Definitely will not lay over a FG in this spot.

    The injury line move is just gravy since Lockett will be on the field more and he’s a much better matchup than Baldwin imo. Marshall is another nice matchup in the red zone who should be featured more. I also like that Carrol had some words for Wilson last weekend and he will have a big chip on his shoulder tonight. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet but keeping an eye on the odds for Wilson TD passes over 1.5

    over 5 sacks -105 might be a good play.

    I don't like Seahawks ATS record on MNF. I don't think Wilson ever covered the spread.

    The troublesome part for SEA is their offensive line is terrible. Play after play, Wilson was just getting buried last week against Denver's pass rush. Against the Bears D I see a lot of the same. I am sure they worked on getting the ball out quicker, avoiding those scrambles and just chucking the ball if there is nothing there, but the Bears D is legit.

    Over 1.5 TD's thrown by Russell -115

    Be very careful predicting sacks against Russel Wilson. This dude has cost me countless dollars with his elusiveness and smarts. I bet NFL sack props a lot and have also learned to never lay juice on the over 5 or under 4. Never any value when you’re on the same side as the public’s perception.

    The Bears dline is overrated compared to an underrated Bronco front 7. Denver’s stunts gave Wilson a lot of problems but I don’t think Fangio will be as creative and he doesn’t have the same pieces to make it work anyways. Wilson is a smart QB, raw pass rush will not slow him down, you need the proper schemes to trick him.

    Seahawks have the better QB

    Bears better just about everywhere else.

    O line still sucks. Defense isnt good anymore. Weapons no good especially without Baldwin.

    He holds the ball too long these days but maybe they made some adjustments. I thought Bears -3.5 in the beginning of the week was a gift but after some analysis, I started waffling opting to just buy out and try for a thin middle. My gut tells me Seattle is in for a long year and the Bears are up and comers. We shall see.

    The fact that the Bears are laying 4.5 to anyone is a joke

    more pressure playing at home in front of home crowd. Certain teams play better on the road. I would include the Bears in that group of teams. Trubisky is garbage.

    give me the Seahawks points and ML.
