76ers at Celtics Same Game Parlay Pick
December 24, 2024
The Seattle Seahawks visit the Chicago Bears on Thursday night on Prime Video. It is a must-win game for the Seahawks if they hope to keep their playoff hopes alive, as Seattle trails the Los Angeles Rams by one game in the NFC West. The Bears have been a train wreck lately, having lost nine straight games and they are just 2-6-1 ATS in those games. The Seahawks are listed as a 3.5-point favorite at PROLINE+ with a total of 43.5. Seattle is 8-7 SU and 6-8-1 ATS with eight games going over the total and seven going under. Chicago is 4-11 SU and 6-7-2 ATS with six games going over the total and nine going under. This will be the last Thursday Night Football Prime Video game of the season. I have had some decent success with these Thursday Night Same Game Parlays but I am coming off a loss last week. Let’s look at NFL odds at PROLINE+ and Seahawks vs. Bears Same Game Parlay Picks.

Seahawks at Bears Same Game Parlay Pick
What an ugly matchup for Thursday night this week. The Seahawks are still alive to make the playoffs, but they don’t look like a playoff team. They need to win this game and have the Cardinals beat the Rams to stay alive. Then it would come down to next week’s game between the Seahawks and Rams in Los Angeles to decide the NFC West. On paper the Seahawks should win this game, but despite putting up big passing numbers, Geno Smith is not a quality NFL quarterback. The Seahawks defense, which was expected to be improved under supposed defensive guru and head coach Mike Macdonald doesn’t impress. Seattle simply makes too many mistakes on both sides of the ball. The problem in this game is that the Bears are even worse. They have problems all over the field and on the sidelines, as interim head coach Thomas Brown is actually worse than Matt Eberflus. Brown has not done himself any favors by taking the interim job. Chicago’s offense has talent but Caleb Williams makes too many mistakes and he doesn’t get a ton of help. It is even worse on defense, as the Bears give up yards and points in bunches.
The Seahawks are listed as a 3.5-point favorite and that seems like too much to me, but I have to say that taking the Bears requires holding your nose and hoping for the best. I still think taking the dog is the way to go, but it is not done with a ton of confidence. Neither defense is playing well so this should be a game that goes over the total.
