Who Are the Experts Picking in Bears vs. Seahawks Week 8 Matchup?

Do the experts like the Bears odds of coming away with a win in Seattle after acquiring defensive game-wrecker Jeffery Simmons?

The Chicago Bears travel to Seattle to take on the defending Super Bowl champions in their toughest test of the season on Monday night.

While the Seahawks haven't looked like the world beaters that they evolved into throughout their iconic playoff run last season, they're undoubtedly one of the league's most well-rounded teams on both sides of the ball. They looked the part in their 20-3 win against Kansas City last week, as well.

Meanwhile, the Bears proved they belong among the league's elite squads after knocking off the defending AFC Champion New England Patriots last week. They might cement their status as a full-fledged Super Bowl favorite if they can repeat their performance in Seattle.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Seahawks are currently 3,5-point favorites at Lumen Field (although it'll be interesting to see whether the line moves after the Bears acquired Jeffery Simmons from Tennessee). Monday night's contest marks only the second time the Bears are underdogs to begin the season.

Will it also be the second time the experts aren't firmly on Ben Johnson and Co.'s side in the prediction department?
