Bears-10 vs Seattle
Seattle was 2-6 on the road in the regular season with one of those wins coming in Chicago. The bears will be out for revenge on sunday and will utilize Matt Forte early and often against Seattle's 27th ranked run defense.
In their first meeting Seattle got after Cutler for the tune of 6 sacks, while holding Forte and Taylor to 42 yards on 12 carries. Cutler finished that game 17-39 for 290 yards. For Seattle, Matt Hasselback went 25-40 for 242 yards and a touchdown, while Mike Williams caught 10 balls for 123 yards.The road team is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings. Jay Cutler will be making his first ever playoff start which may be something to key an eye on. Expect the bears to use that week off to get after Hasselback and don't expect Mike Williams to have another 100+ game.
Prediction: Bears 28-13
Pats-9.5 vs Jets
The last time these two teams met was in week 13 in Foxboro when the Pats embarrassed the Jets 45-3. In the second half of the season the Patriots have been 6-2 ATS while going 8-0 in those games. During that stretch the Pats have scored 31 points or more in each game and held their opponents to 15.6 ppg. The Jets have been doing a lot of talking all week and finally Sunday we will see if they can back it up.
It really comes down to do you trust Mark Sanchez to cover a 9.5 line in Foxboro against Brady who will have extra motivation after all the smack talk the Jets have talked? Expect one of Brady's greatest performances today against the Jets.
Prediction: Pats 35-17
