This Thursday night, we have a Seahawks team that his barely hanging on to their playoff chances against a Bears team that has lost 9 straight games. The Bears were 4-2 at one point and looking like a possible playoff team before going on their losing streak, and the Seahawks were leading the NFC West just two weeks ago and in control of their playoff destiny. Now, the Seahawks need a big win on the road in a short week, and some help to even have a slight chance to get in. This game should still be entertaining though, as it featured the number one overall pick in Caleb Williams and some star players on the Seahawks side like D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Here are five bold predictions for Thursday Night Football in week 17!
