Seahawks 23, Bears 20: The Chess match of the season... Mike Macdonald's defense vs Ben Johnson's offense. Chicago has had extra time to prepare for this matchup,
having last played on TNF to begin Week 7. Seattle has not allowed a quarterback to throw for over 189 yards passing at any point this season, and I suspect tonight will be the moment that stat breaks. But just because a quarterback throws for more than barely under 200 yards doesn't mean I think their offense will run roughshod over the Seahawks. Caleb Williams' mobility could prove to be difficult to bring down, but I still believe in the power of the Dark Side and Macdonald's unit will ultimately prevail. Seattle has uniquely prepared for the Bears' star trade acquisition in Jeffery Simmons by getting former Colts left guard Quenton Nelson themselves. While I do think it may be a few weeks before Seattle's reshuffled offensive line will be clicking fully, I believe they have enough to negate Chicago's pass rush, at least a little to keep Sam Darnold in rhythm. A revamped Seahawks ground attack keeps Ben Johnson's unit on the sideline more than they'd like and it will be enough to narrowly defend home turf under the lights of prime time. Besides, the Seahawks have the best MNF record in NFL history. Monday night is Seattle's night and I'm not picking against them in this spot.

Seahawks 31, Bears 17: D'Andre Swift fumbles early and Chicago's offense struggles to find footing. Seattle's play-action and run game get going early thanks to Quenton Nelson, forcing Chicago to cover JSN with sinlge coverage, opening Pandora's Box for Brian Fleury to be creative.

Seahawks 27, Bears 24: Caleb Williams has a strong game against the Seahawks, but ultimately, Seattle's front four applies enough pressure to cause disruption at the right times. Sam Darnold will find his talented receivers more bountifully than in any other game this season to lead Seattle to victory.
