Seahawks vs. Bears NFL Thursday Night Football Preview

We’ve hit the point in the NFL season where plenty of matchups feature one team with plenty left to play for and another whose season is effectively over.

That’s the case on Thursday night when the Bears host the Seahawks.

Seattle is still very much involved in the NFL playoff race, with one game separating them from the NFC West-leading Rams. Chicago fired its head coach midseason, has long since been eliminated and is already looking to the future.

The season started promising for the Bears, with a 4-2 record through six weeks, but they haven’t won a game since.

It certainly seemed like they were mailing it in last week against the Lions. They were down 20-0 early in the contest and could never bring the game within 13 points after that.

We’ve seen teams struggle after facing the Lions this season, which is especially difficult for the Bears given the short week involved this time around. That’s another strike against them here.

Seattle probably should’ve won its Week 16 game against the Vikings, getting as deep as the Vikings’ 37-yard line while down three in the fourth quarter. A sack led to a long field goal, and the missed 60-yarder was the difference in the final score.

The Seahawks are fighting for their playoff lives here and should come out ready to make a statement. Look for them to set the tone early and not leave this one up to late-game heroics.

The Bears have been awful at the start of games this year, mustering an average of 1.3 first-quarter points while allowing 5.7. That also means poor coaching since the first series or two typically comprises of pre-scripted play calls.

Seattle is +120 to win the first quarter outright, with a spread of -0.5 on DraftKings. I’m betting a half-unit on that, plus 0.8 units (betting to win a half-unit) on the first-half moneyline of -160 at FanDuel.

My Pick: Seahawks -0.5 First-Quarter Spread (+120 DraftKings; 0.5 units) | Seahawks First-Half Moneyline (-160 FanDuel; 0.8 units)
