Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction

I’m on the Seahawks in this one. I get the case to be made for the Bears on extra rest, but the Seahawks are the better team in my eyes and this Bears team has flaws and holes all strewn across that defense. The Seahawks defense on the other hand, looked dominant against the Chiefs in primetime, and this is just a really good matchup for the Seahawks at home in primetime. I’ll back Seattle in this one.
