Yahoo Sports Bears vs. Seahawks: Experts make game picks for Week 17
The Chicago Bears (4-11) will face off against the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) in Week 17, where Chicago is aiming to snap a nine-game losing streak.
The Bears are coming off a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions, where Chicago strung together another uninspired performance where they were outcoached, outplayed and continued to make the self-inflicted mistakes that have defined their 2024 season. The Bears offense strung together four miserable drives to start the game before Caleb Williams and co. finally found a rhythm with back-to-back touchdown drives in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the defense was abysmal, including allowing an 82-yard touchdown, allowing 30-plus points in their third straight game.
Chicago is a 3.5-point home underdog against the Seahawks, according to BetMGM. But what do the experts think? Here's a look:
