NFL Tips – Seahawks @ Bears – Week 17 2024

The Seattle Seahawks will be going into Chicago looking for a critical win in the battle for the NFC West.

Best Bet

Seahawks -3.5
Total

The season can’t end quickly enough for the Chicago Bears and it’s hard to make a case for them keeping this game close.

The Bears have lost their last three games by 28, 18 and 17 points – will all three of those defeats coming subsequent to the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus.

Seahawks rookie coach Mike Macdonald is enjoying a much better season, although losing his last two games has his playoff chances in peril. This is a critical game for the Seahawks to win.

This is the easiest game that the Hawks have played in some team. Remarkably, they have started underdogs in each of their last ten games – a remarkable stat for a team that actually has a winning record.

The Seahawks should be too good in this one.


Same Game Multi

Seattle -3.5, Smith Over 249.5 Passing Yards, Smith-Njigba Over 80 Receiving Yards

Chicago ranks 31st in the league for net passing yards per attempt and with the Seahawks dealing with some injuries at the running back position, expect Seattle to lean heavily on the pass game.


Value Bet

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
First Touchdown

Smith-Njigba has emerged as the number one receiving target in Seattle and has scores in three of his last five games.
