Expert Prediction
CBS Sports HQ analyst Emory Hunt, who played running back at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and founded Football Gameplan, has a 132-111-2 record on NFL picks over the past three seasons. He is 28-16-1 on his last 45 picks involving the Seahawks, returning $1,035 to $100 players. Hunt is leaning toward the Under 46.5 points for the over/under.
Team Trends
The Under has hit in three of the last four meetings between the teams, including a combined nine points in their last matchup in December 2024. The Under has also cashed in four of Chicago's last six games and in each of Seattle's last two games. Over the last four games, Chicago is averaging 22.8 points per game, while Seattle has averaged 17 points over the past two weeks. Quarterback Caleb Williams has thrown five touchdown passes in four games, with wide receiver Luther Burden leading the team with 35 receptions for 491 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle's defense has allowed a league-best 233.9 yards per game, and opponents are averaging just 17.9 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the NFL.
Hunt has also identified a crucial X-factor that makes one side of the spread a strong play, though the specific detail is reserved for his full analysis.
