Week 13: Seattle Seahawks (6-5) @ Chicago Bears (8-3)

[Basketball GURU]

Chicago won their last game against the Vikings after losing their previous two. Injuries began to piled up last game and we lost Lance Louis (IR), now our already struggling o-line just got a lot thinner.

Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner might be out because of a four game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Sucks that Louis got injured on a blindside play by that dirtball Jared Allen. I don't care that he apologized after the game. He knows what he did was bush league.

Now that I got that out of my system - I don't really care whether or not the CBs play. If they don't, great, Marshall will have a field day with whatever backup they throw on him. While it appears they have broken some rule, I certainly respect the appeal process that their union has negotiated.

Bears need this one for many purposes, the most being holding on to the division lead and a top 4 seed. This is also another chance to throw a loss on a wild card contender and gain in tiebreakers (conference record and head to head).

I like the Bears chances at home against a young QB.

If only it was Caleb Hanie starting like last year.

I have absolutely zero optimism about the Seahawks' chances in this game.

Walter Thurmond and Marcus Trufant... yep, field day for Marshall pretty much guaranteed if they don't play.

If they Lions had won last week, I'd care more about this game, but alas...

The Bears should win comfortably.

Well apparently the appeal won't be heard until next week. Adam Schefter says both Browner and Sherman will be available against the Bears. So at the very least the odds of Brandon Marshall having a gigantic day just got a little bit slimmer.

Unless the Seahawks front 7 dominates it will be a thrashing....not likely.

[Lieutenant Dan]

Actually, I kinda like our chances. I believe in Wilson, and I think our defense will be taking the Miami loss personally and bring some heat to this thing.

Cutler is always an X factor, as might be the Chicago weather. What's it looking like this weekend, Chicagoans?
