T.M. Selection: BEARS - ATS

1) I like the Bears to get the solid home dog cover in this game against the Seahawks on Thursday, December 26th. The line looks like a trap line to take the road team laying only 4.5 or 4 points even though they are visiting a team that has been in a freefall whereas they themselves are still battling for the post-season. As for the trap, I am not falling for it!

2) Seattle struggles with their ground game on offense and their rush defense on the other side of the ball. The Seahawks have lost B2B games and are allowing 24 ppg in the last 4 games. The Bears defense has struggled recently but they are capable of stepping up here in their home finale and remember that they are 4-4 at home this season.

3) Chicago has been awful on the road this season but, as you can see with the 4-4 record, they are very capable of stepping up at home here. Seattle has only 3 wins by more than 5 points in their last 12 games! With stats like that, you can clearly see why I am confident in this investment Thursday. Upset alert!

T.M. Prediction: 23-20 BEARS

Line: +4.5
