Tyler Dragon, USA Today: Seahawks 28, Bears 20
“The Seahawks must win out and hope the Rams lose in Week 17. The Bears have lost nine straight games. It’s the second-longest active losing streak in the NFL.”
Jordan Mendoza USA Today: Seahawks 23, Bears 16
“Seattle has to win to keep the season alive. The defense flexes its muscle and takes advantage of the poor Bears.”
Lorenzo Reyes USA Today: Seahawks 24, Bears 17
“These are two teams that are prone to wild swings, and spurts of inefficient play at quarterback. Still, I’m going to give the nod to Seattle, which has much more to play for and should be motivated after a tough loss against the Vikings.”
Richard Morin USA Today: Bears 22, Seahawks 21
“The Bears have been killing me all year. But hey, I’m a masochist.”
Bill Bender, Sporting News: Seahawks 23, Bears 14
“The Bears have averaged just 14 points per game since firing Matt Eberlus, and Seattle still is in the playoff mix in the NFC West. Seattle has less than 100 rushing yards in four of its past five games. Kenneth Walker III had eight carries for 31 yards in Week 16. He will be more successful on the road here as long as his ankle injury doesn’t limit him.”
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Bears 27, Seahawks 24
“The Seahawks have plenty working offensively, but there’s a changing of a guard in the new passing scheme with Jaxon Smith-Njigba taking over as the top receiver and Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet trying to keep the running game respectable. The Bears’ offense keeps coming to life more with Caleb Williams and will come through with enough points as primetime home underdogs.”
