SBG Global Opening Line: Bears - 9

The Chicago Bears will try to back up their supposed home field edge as they host the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional playoffs on Sunday. The Bears are always thought of as a great home team but they have not done well in the playoffs at home lately. They lost last year at home to Carolina and lost back in 2001 to Philadelphia. They have not won a home playoff game since 1990 and early reports from SBG Global tell us that the gambling public feels the tradition will continue with most money on the Seahaws.

These two teams are meeting for the second time this season. The Bears routed the Seahawks 37-6 back on October 1st. Quarterback Rex Grossman actually played well in that game going 17-of-31 for 232 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Bears defense held Seattle to a season-low 230 yards, sacked quarterback Matt Hasselbeck five times and intercepted two of his passes. "We have a lot to make up for, because we did not play very well," Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said. "We had better be better, because that was not very much fun." The Seahawks were missing Shaun Alexander in that game.

Seattle is bringing some luck into this game as last week they needed Dallas quarterback Tony Romo to drop a snap to escape with a win. Chicago is coming into the game with no momentum. Quarterback Rex Grossman was horrible in the last week of the regular season against Green Bay and has played poorly most of the season. Chicago’s defense has also been weak as they gave up 105 points in the last four regular season games of the season.

"We lost our last game to our rival, we didn't play our best ball at the end of the football season, so it's not like we're an overconfident team right now," Chicago coach Lovie Smith said. "We're an anxious football team to go out and play again and play better than we did last time."

Chicago is a 9 point favorite with a total of 36.5 at SBG Global.

Seattle has not won a playoff game outside of Washington since defeating Miami 27-20 on Dec. 31, 1983.
