Seattle Seahawks vs Chicago Bears Prediction 3 November 2026
💥 The Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears square off in Week 8 of the NFL regular season at Lumen Field. The hosts come into the matchup with four wins from seven games, while the visitors have claimed victory in five of their seven outings. Both teams are firmly in the hunt for an NFC playoff spot, so the outcome of this clash carries significant postseason implications. All eyes will be on Chicago’s powerful ground game as it goes up against one of the league’s most formidable defensive fronts. Their previous head-to-head ended in a narrow 6-3 win for Seattle, but with both offenses looking much sharper this season, fans can expect a very different contest this time around.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle Seahawks - Chicago Bears
Seattle Seahawks Team Overview
Seattle head into their home game riding high after an impressive 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Seahawks’ defense completely shut down the opposition, holding Patrick Mahomes to just 165 passing yards. This season, Seattle are allowing opponents to convert only 28% of their third-down attempts-one of the best marks in the NFL. Offensively, Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains a constant threat, averaging 123.9 receiving yards per game and already racking up eight touchdowns. However, with Charles Cross sidelined due to injury, the offensive line will require some reshuffling, with recently acquired Quenton Nelson set to make his debut.
Match Results: Seattle Seahawks
Chicago Bears Team Overview
Chicago claimed a 30-24 victory over the New England Patriots in their previous outing, showcasing a confident offensive display. Caleb Williams threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, continuing his impressive comeback from injury. The Bears’ main weapon remains their ground game, averaging a league-best 154.3 rushing yards per contest. Defensively, the visitors allow opponents to convert just 26.1% of third downs, and the addition of Jeffery Simmons is expected to bolster their front line. However, facing Seattle-who have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 36 consecutive games-Chicago’s usual run-first approach faces a stern test.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The key factor in this upcoming matchup is the defensive reliability of both teams, particularly on third downs. Chicago allow opponents to convert just 26.1% of their third-down attempts, while Seattle post a similarly impressive 28%. Sustained scoring drives could therefore be few and far between. Adding to this, the Seahawks’ recent game against Kansas City saw the reigning champions hold their opponents to just three points. The Bears possess the league’s most potent rushing attack, but the home side’s defense handles ground threats well, likely forcing the visitors into more high-risk passing plays. Given both teams’ defensive strengths and their ability to shut down opposing offenses, our recommended bet is on under 46.5 total points.
