Seahawks21 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 20-3, Hawks. Chicago isn't going to be able to score on Seattle's new found intensity, and Seattle isn't going to give this one away. Keep the Bears with a long field, and don't give up anything to Hester, and this game is over folks. If Shaun gets 75 yards and the Seahawks turn it over less than three times, the Bears cannot win. Grossman couldn't start for the Raiders right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we are talking about Brooks and Walter here ... they didn't exactly light it up this year. Â Seattle will have a harder time going than that.

whitem0nkey Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 True, but they were only giving up 83 yards per game prior to week 12 & the loss of Harris, and the Bears are now giving up an average of 103 ypg over the last 6 weeks. That's a HUGH increase, one that I have no doubt SA can exploit.  (Edited to correct math )   •The Bears’ run defense was one of the NFL’s best over the final four regular-season games, allowing an average of 80.5 yards per game, the NFL average is 117.3.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how your article uses a smaller sample set to make his point, conveniently choosing to omit the MIN game the week before where the Bears gave up 192 yards rushing.  Lets break it down. As I said, last 6 games since Harris got hurt, numbers from NFL.com: NE 85 MIN 192 STL 101 TB 61 DET 72 GB 97 = 608 total yards/6 games = an average of 101 yards per game.  Not to mention the fact that taken as a whole, it was somewhat less than a murderers row of RB's that CHI was supposedly so effective against the last 4 weeks:  Stephen Davis STL 29 yards Steven Jackson STL 81 yards Mike Alstott TB 26 yards Michael Pittman TB 5 yards Carnell Williams TB 26 yards Aveion Cason DET 31 yards Lamar Gordon DET 2 yards Arlen Harris DET 44 yards William Henderson GB 0 yards Ahman Green GB 71 yards Vernand Morency GB 37 yards  The only RB's CHI faced of Alexander's caliber were Jackson & maybe Green, & they weren't exactly shut down.  I stand by my statement: Without Harris, Alexander can AND WILL exploit the Bears rushing defense.

SNOWBOUND33 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sleet/snow and some wind Sunday. The Bears are going to run crazy. Benson will have over 80+ himself. I'll stand by my prediction Bears 27-17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhippens Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 608 total yards/6 games = an average of 101 yards per game. Â Â i hear what you're saying and their defense has been impacted by losing harris, on the other hand, 101 yards per game against still puts them in the top 10. it's not like they all of a sudden turned into the worst in the league. Â also. while i realize he's an excellent player, i can think of a few guys i'd prefer not to go against this weekend before shaun alexander. (with gamelogs of 51, 89, 47, 37, 201, 90, 76, 73, 140, 92 and then 69 last weekend). Â i'm nervous about this game as much as i'm nervous about any playoff game, but it's not because it think shaun alexander will run for 250 yards.

Pitbull739 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 As much as I hoped for this matchup, Seattle regressed in their quality of play last week from the last 2 games of the regular season. I just think that the injury depleted Hawks probably won't advance after this unless Hass plays a good 4 quarters of football. But there is also the Grossman factor and with 2 teams stumbling into the playoffs, you just never know what happens. Unless Grossman really screws up, I see the Bears winning a close one, Bears 21- Seattle 20. - Seattle hasn't had a healthy secondary since like Week 2 of the pre-season - October 1 was over 3 months ago and Chicago hasn't been close to the same team since Week 5. - Grossman, Berrian, and Muhammed are not as formidable as Romo, Owens, and Glenn. - Seattle's run defense is ranked 19 out of 32 teams (per ESPN rankings) and 22 out of 32 per NFL.com. Â One has to have quality before they can regress in their quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD6405 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Final Score, 31-28, Chicago Wins. Â No offensive TD's will be scored, Devin Hester will score all the TD's for Chicago, and Rex Grossman will throw all the TD's to Seattle DBs. Gould will kick a ball as time expires because Alexander will fumble the ball around the 30 yard of Chicago with 16 seconds, Nathan Vasher will pick it up and run it down to the 20. Gould comes on.

crispirons Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah - I think the 9.5, 10 is off myself. In this game, with these 2 teams, that have been so inconsistent lately I will be all over Sea. Crisp is certainly more dialed in with the Vegas moves, and smart money - I just happen to like value with the points. Â Â thanks for the props. i'm just an average joe trying to beat the house like the rest of us. not a statement to offend wildcat, but the public sees this game just like you as evidenced by the way the money is coming down. too many points, two inconsistent teams, and grossman factor. all logical points i might add. however, if the bears impose their will in this game, it won't be close. the nearly ten points are enough to entice the most savvy of bettors. i wouldn't even feel comfortable teasing the hawks 6 pts and having 14 or 15 pts. 23-6 or 27-10 could easily be the score here. Â Â sidenote: i like gobbling up points alot more than i like laying heavy wood, but when the action gets this one sided, i'll go the other way 8 out of 10 times. vegas stays in business for a reason, they beat the public consistently.
