Seattle is 1-1 this preseason, with little to prove coming off a Super Bowl title. They are a huge home favorite here because they've been a dominant preseason home team under Pete Carroll. However, they are 1-1 and the QB rotation is not impressive after Russell Wilson, with Tarvaris Jackson, BJ Daniels, and Terrelle Pryor. And they are facing a very talented Chicago Bears team that is 2-0. The Bears have a better and more experienced QB rotation with Jay Cutler, Jimmy Clausen, and Jordan Palmer. Last week Cutler threw for 75 yards, including a touchdown before having a seat while Jimmy Clausen and Jordan Palmer combined for 167 yards in a win over the Jaguars. This wideout corps is tall and talented, and offensive mastermind Coach Mark Trestman picks up WR Santonio Holmes this week. You need a strong offensive line against the attacking Seahawks, and Chicago does with a young unit that really gelled last season. The Bears' improved offensive line has been solid so far this preseason and is a big reason why Cutler is finding success through the air. And the Bears' revamped defensive line is looking good, too. This one is shaping up to be a close one, so grab the big dog and play the Bears.
