NFL's Biggest Week 6 Upset: Seattle Seahawks Will Beat Chicago Bears

There is an upset, whether minor or monumental, every week in the NFL.

Monumental upsets occur when an underdog wins and no one saw it coming. Just last week in Arizona, the Cardinals beat the Saints with an undrafted rookie quarterback. That was a monumental upset. There undoubtedly will be a few upsets in Week 6, and I found the biggest one of the week.

The Seattle Seahawks will beat the Chicago Bears.

The latest NFL betting odds as posted by Brobury Sports have the Bears as six point favorites. Seattle plus the points looks great, but I believe Seattle will win outright and so the money line looks even better. The money line is +245 and that is a nice price to back Seattle with.

Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler is back. The Bears have a good signal passer in Cutler but he tends to hold on to the ball too long; hence, he is sack prone. Since he is coming off a concussion, he is one hit away from being pulled out of this game, and the Bears' backup passers are weak. To protect Cutler the Bears may go to a conservative play-calling option that will play into the hands of the Seahawks' defense.

The Bears' D may be without weakside linebacker Lance Briggs, who has yet to practice this week with an ankle injury.  Briggs rarely misses a game, but he has a good chance of sitting this one out. If he does play, he will not be at 100 percent.

Seattle acquired running back Marshawn Lynch from the Bills, and he will immediately provide a boost to the offense. He will be an improvement to a rushing game that ranked 29th in the league. They acquired him during the bye week so he will have enough time to get adjusted to the offense. He should see some significant playing time this Sunday. Also, Bears running back Matt Forte will have a tough time running the ball.

Seattle is second overall in the league against the run, and will be able to contain the running game, putting pressure on the Bears to win through the air. Normally this would play into the Bears gameplan, but with Cutler fresh off an injury and the Bears' faulty protection, the Hawks have the edge. The Bears have allowed the most sacks in the league, and this will be a problem against Seattle.

The main problem with Seattle has been its ability to win on the road. If head coach Pete Carroll is going to make the Seahawks a playoff team, he will have to win on the road, and it starts in Chicago.

The Bears are in a tough spot for several reasons. They are 9-20-2 ATS in their last 31 games following a win, and 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. The Bears are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games as a home favorite, and they lose this game outright.

Seattle makes a statement and pull off a huge upset over Chicago.
