Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

It's been a torrid run for the Chicago Bears and things are unlikely to get better for them when they host the Seattle Seahawks at Soldier Field on Thursday night.

Losing nine games in a row, you have to go back all the way to mid-October and a 35-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London for the last time the Bears tasted victory on the field.

That impressive performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is likely to feel like a lifetime ago for Chicago fans who have been put through it this season.

With a 4-11 record and set to finish rock-bottom of the NFC North, the Bears will already have one eye on next year and working on how they can catch up with the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers in arguably the toughest division in football.

Those questions will be for another day for the hierarchy at Soldier Field, as first they must face a Seahawks side who have enjoyed more wins on the road than they have at home this season and will be heading to the Windy City confident of claiming the victory.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears betting picks and predictions

Seattle Seahawks -3.5 (-110)

While the Seahawks have struggled on their home field, they have become one of the best road teams in the league.

Winning all of their last four away games against the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks' road form has kept their hopes of finishing top of the NFC West alive.

Looking to leapfrog the Los Angeles Rams at the top of the division, Seattle know they can't afford to slip up against this struggling Bears side on Thursday.

Scoring 110 points in their last four away games, Seattle quarterback Geno Smith and his offense have been working wonders on the road.

Against a Bears side with confidence at rock bottom after a woeful run, expect the Seahawks to not only win but cover the spread at Soldier Field in this one.

Over 43.5 total points (-110)

With Seattle facing a Bears side that allowed the Detroit Lions to score 34 points past them last time out, going for the over in the total points market looks to be the way to go here.

While Smith has thrown for 3,937 yards this season with 17 touchdown passes, he has also thrown 15 interceptions this term.

That tendency for giving away turnovers should see the Bears have their own opportunity for points on Thursday, meaning a high-scoring encounter in Illinois could be on the cards.

Seattle Seahawks first score method Field Goal (+280)

Looking back at Seattle's recent away games, the boot of kicker Jason Myers has often been the Seahawks' path to their opening points of the contest.

Myers has scored the Seahawks' first points in three of their last four road games, in wins against the Falcons, 49ers and Cardinals.

Given this trend on the road for coach Mike Macdonald's side, there's value to be had at +280 for that to continue at Soldier Field on Boxing Day.
