Bears at Seahawks Stats
Looking at the Chicago Bears stats
This Chicago offense is struggling so far this year as they are averaging just 17.1 points per game. They are trying to get into a rhythm with rookie quarterback Justin Fields adjusting to the speed of the NFL game, but he is hampered with an ankle injury that is making him questionable for this game.
He is posting a putrid 25.1 QBR while throwing for 1,870 yards with seven touchdowns to 10 interceptions. They have been running the ball effectively, though, as they have 125.2 rushing yards per game.
The Bears‘ defense have been doing decently well this season as they are allowing 24.9 points per game. The defense is doing a good job of limiting the yardage that the opposing offense is getting as they are giving up 347.1 yards per game.
They have allowed at least 30 points in two of their last three games, so they need to step up here if they want to leave with a win.
Looking at the Seattle Seahawks stats
The Seattle offense is struggling to put points up on the board as they are scoring 20.1 points per game. The offense has been dealing with injuries all over, but there has just been a lack of consistency that has been with the franchise for the previous decade.
Russell Wilson has struggled a bit as he has a 48.9 QBR with just 2,458 yards (which is trending towards being a career-low) but only has thrown five interceptions.
The defense, on the other hand, is actually playing quite well as they are also giving up just 20.1 points per game. They have been struggling to stop opposing rushing attacks as teams are averaging 116.5 rushing yards per game against them.

Who to Bet Bears at Seahawks
Seattle is currently listed as a 6.5 point favorite at home in this game, and I believe this is a bounce-back week for the Seahawks.
The Bears are 4-10 against the spread this year, while the Seahawks are 7-7 against the spread. The injury around Justin Fields concerns me, and Seattle should put up enough points to win by 10 points here.
All in all, go with the Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread.
