The football gods continue to smile upon Lovie Smith and the Bears as the Seattle Seahawks upset the defending champion New Orleans Saints and bring their 8-9 record into Soldier Field on Sunday to face the 11-5 Chicago Bears.
But wait, not so fast here. First, the Sawhawks already beat the Bears during the regular season at Chicago. Second, they are playing loose. All the pressure is on the Bears.
But at least on paper, it looks like a mismatch, which is why the Bears open as nine point favorites. But as we saw in New Orleans, where the Seahawks were 10 point underdogs, anything can happen on a given weekend with the parity in this league.

But who cares about that? For now, as Bears fans, our focus is on beating Seattle so we can face with the Falcons or the Packers.
Recognizing that, let’s see what the keys are to the game.
