SourceSmith-Njigba remains Seattle’s featured target
Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivered nine catches for 150 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City and was Seattle’s offensive star, making him a major coverage assignment for Chicago.
SourceSeattle’s receiver availability bears watching
Rashid Shaheed exited the Chiefs game with a knee issue and is listed as questionable; Seattle said the early returns were positive but the timeline remained uncertain.
SourceBears’ linebacker and backfield statuses bear watching

SourcePick Ideas
Bears +3
Consider Chicago at +3 or better rather than laying points with Seattle; the market has moved toward the Bears from an opening Seahawks favorite around 4.5, and +3 offers key margin protection.
Be selective with the Seahawks moneyline
At roughly -170, Seattle must win more than 63% of the time to break even; its inability to run the ball limits its offensive ceiling, so compare books or pass.
