Chicago Bears @ Seattle Seahawks

Wow.  Bears fans you can exhale now.  Jay Cutler put together a very nice game last weekend and, in the process, kept his Bears in contention for the rest of the year.  Now they get to play an ailing Seahawks team which will likely be without starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.  Running back Matt Forte is going to need to start making more of an impact in the offense and tight end Greg Olsen has been virtually invisible thus far.

The Seahawks are going to need to figure out a way to move the ball if Hasselbeck can’t play.  Backup Seneca Wallace has done fine in the past but he is not the passer that Hasselbeck is.  Running back Justin Forsett has been a nice surprise for Seahawk fans so far and I look for him to see an increased role as the season goes on.

Pick:  Bears, 34-20
