Chicago Bears +4.5 (-110) over Seattle Seahawks
I am almost never inclined to give more than a field goal in the preseason and I am not going to do it for Thursday night's game between the 'Bears and Seahawks. Seattle's defense stunk in its opener, resulting in a 32-25 loss to Pittsburgh. Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph combined for four touchdowns without turning the ball over a single time. On offensive, the Seahawks are waging a QB battle between Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Each guy will be inspired to play well, but Chicago quarterback Justin Fields will be the same. Fields playing some and backup Trevor Siemian handling the rest of the duties isn't the worst situation in the world. Siemian went 7-of-13 for 89 yards, two TDs and no INTs during a 19-14 defeat of Kansas City last week. The Bears could very well win again, and at the very least they should cover.
