The Chicago Bears aim to extend their winning streak to three games when they visit the Seattle Seahawks for a Monday Night Football matchup at Lumen Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Chicago enters with a 5-2 overall record, 3-2 in NFC play, and a 2-1 mark on the road, having outscored opponents 180-143 this season. Seattle stands at 4-3 overall, 1-2 in the conference, and 3-1 at home, with a 168-125 scoring margin.
Oddsmakers list the Seahawks as 3-point favorites, with an over/under of 46.5 total points. The money line has Seattle at -170 and Chicago at +150.
Bears defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is active after being acquired from the Tennessee Titans last Thursday.
Analyst Emory Hunt, a former running back at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and high school coach who now runs Football Gameplan, has posted a 28-16-1 record on his last 45 NFL picks involving the Seahawks, returning $1,035 per $100 wagered. Hunt is leaning toward the under on the 46.5-point total, noting that the under has hit in three of the last four meetings between the teams, including a combined nine points in their December 2024 matchup. The under has also cashed in four of Chicago's last six games and in each of Seattle's last two.
Over the last four games, Chicago has averaged 22.8 points per game, while Seattle has averaged 17 points over the past two weeks. Quarterback Caleb Williams has thrown five touchdown passes in four games, with wide receiver Luther Burden leading the team with 35 receptions for 491 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle's defense has allowed a league-best 233.9 yards per game and 17.9 points per game, ranking fourth in the NFL. Hunt does not expect a high-scoring affair.
Hunt has also identified a key X-factor that he believes makes one side of the spread a strong play, though he has not disclosed the detail publicly.
