The Chicago Bears have now lost nine games in a row as they barrel towards another important offseason, and with two games left to play it's now or never if Caleb Williams wants to end his rookie season with his head held high.
Seattle's defense has been excellent of late, but it might leave the door open for us to take some discounts on NFL player props and profit off of this primetime game that would be otherwise rather unwatchable.
Let's highlight a few players who should shine under the bright lights as we build a same-game parlay for Seahawks vs Bears on Thursday Night Football this week.

The Seahawks may be excelling against the pass this season, but it's not as if you can't throw on this team. Despite ranking eighth in EPA per dropback allowed in the last five weeks, they're down in 18th in passing Success Rate allowed which could mean plenty of Caleb Williams in this one.
Williams is fresh off one of his best games of the season against a strong Detroit secondary where he went 26-of-40 for 334 yards and two touchdowns, and the script here should call for a pass-heavy attack from Chicago once again on account of how bad this defense has been.
Chicago also ranks 17th in early-down pass frequency -- and 12th over the last five weeks -- so there should be no doubt that Williams throws the ball upwards of 40 times considering that's right around the number which Detroit has allowed on average this season.
As we anticipate plenty of passing out out of the Bears, we'll look to figure out who will get the rock. Cole Kmet's been far too volatile to trust this season, running backs have struggled to move the ball in the passing game, and Seattle has done a good job against the WR1 position.
Odunze has seen seven targets in back-to-back games as a dependable possession receiver in short yardage situations, and I suspect Williams will trust him to come through on third and fourth downs and help Chicago remain in this game.
While the Bears have struggled to contain just about every skill position, one man we're going to have to bet on here is Zach Charbonnet.
The talented young running back will once again be thrust into a starting role with Kenneth Walker III sidelined due to injury, and in four starts this season he's amassed 20 targets with an average just under 30 yards per game.
Chicago is ranked 19th in DVOA against the running back position and 27th in EPA allowed per dropback overall in the last five weeks, which should keep Charbonnet busy all night long. He's been involved in the passing game even in big wins this year and Seattle should be looking to get him the ball.
