Seahawks vs Bears Prediction
Chicago comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak and they have won four of their last five games. The Bears are starting to find their groove on offense, as they have scored 61 points in their last two games. Seattle has lost three of their last five games, but did beat up KC last weekend. This Seahawks defense has been inconsistent this year, but I think they are going to struggle against the creativity of Ben Johnson. Take Chicago and the points here.
