Talk about a dagger going through your heart; in the past two
weeks, Seattle has fallen from the No. 3 seed in the NFC Playoff
Picture to No. 9 this week. As a result, the Seahawks currently
have an 11% chance of crashing the party. That improves to 30%
with a pair of season-ending victories. All they can do at this
point is to beat whoever they line up against, and it starts with
the hibernating Bears today. In truth, it¡¯s more like comatose
Chicago as they are immersed in a nine-game losing streak since
their Bye week in late October, a result of having scored more
than 20 points in only one contest since being hypnotized. On
the other side of the fi eld, Seattle checks in at 5-0 ATS in the
fi rst of back-to-back road games. And as always, we save the
best for last with THE CLINCHER: NFL teams who faced the
Detroit Lions in their previous game are 2-11-1 ATS this
season, including 0-5-1 ATS at home. BY Play book
