Welcome back to Thursday Night Football
Thursday Night Football returns this week with an AFC West rivalry rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. All Thursday night games kick off at 8:15 ET on Prime Video.
As always in our brave new world of expansive sports gambling, it is now easier to bet on games than to watch them. You can catch current odds on all NFL games for Week 17 here on FanDuel.
This is a must-win game for 8-7 Seattle, as they trail the division leading Los Angeles Rams by one game. Usually, a divisional race that tight leads to fun wild card scenarios, but all the oxygen in that sector of the playoff race is being sucked up by the three ten-win teams that won’t be winning their own divisions.
Fortunately, the Chicago Bears haven’t been presenting a threat to anybody this season. They entered their Week 7 bye on a three game winning streak and haven’t won a game since. Caleb Williams’ rookie season has been full of hard earned lessons, and he’s expected to learn another one tonight in his second Thursday Night Football appearance.
That’s why I’m picking the Seattle Seahawks to win tonight.
As always, use this space to talk about the action as it unfolds.
You know the drill.
This is now an open thread!
