Huge Bears fan here and I really don't like going against them. I'm also not one of those who thinks that the Bears have just been lucky all year. They certainly have gotten a lot of breaks but they're also a very solid if unspectacular team. All that being said, 10.5 is just waaaaay too big of a number here. The Bears are only 5-3 at home this year and they simply don't blow people out very often. They managed to win by more than a TD just 4 times this season: 3 of those times were on the road when they were facing backup or 3rd string QBs (@ Carolina, @Miami, and @ Minnesota) and the only time they managed to do it at home they were facing a very old and bad Favre who threw 3 picks. The Bears play style lends itself to playing close games and letting their defense win it at the end. Add in the fact that the Seahawks have momentum and confidence after beating the Saints and knowing that this is a team they've already beaten this year.
I'm seeing something like a 24-20 game here. Hopefully I can cash a ticket and my Bears can still move on!
