The Seattle Seahawks will host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football on November 2, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at Lumen Field. Bookmakers have listed Seattle as a 3-point favorite for the contest. The total points line for the game is set at 46.5, reflecting a defensive struggle expected between the two NFC opponents.
The Bears arrive in Seattle with a 5-2 record and a 3-2 mark against NFC teams. Chicago has outscored its opponents 180-143 during the 2026 season. The team is 2-1 on the road. Quarterback Caleb Williams has thrown five touchdown passes in four games this season. His primary target is wide receiver Luther Burden, who has caught 35 passes for 491 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seahawks enter the game with a 4-3 record and a 1-2 record against NFC opponents. Seattle is 3-1 on its home field. The team has outscored opponents 168-125 in 2026. The Seahawks defense has allowed a league-best 233.9 yards per game. Opponents have averaged 17.9 points per game against Seattle in seven contests, a figure that ranks fourth best in the NFL.
Historical data suggests a low-scoring affair. The Under has hit in three of the last four meetings between these two franchises. In their most recent matchup in December 2024, the teams combined for only nine points. The Under has also appeared in four of Chicago's last six games and in each of Seattle's last two games. Seattle holds a four-game winning streak in the last six encounters with Chicago.
SportsLine analyst Emory Hunt predicts the Under 46.5 will cover. Hunt is a former running back at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and a high school football coach. He is 28-16-1 in his last 45 NFL picks involving the Seattle Seahawks. That record has returned $1,035 for every $100 wagered. Over the past three seasons, Hunt is 132-111-2 in the NFL, producing a return of $1,075 for $100 players.
Hunt notes that Chicago has averaged 22.8 points in its last four games. Seattle has averaged 17 points over the past two weeks. The analyst cites the Seahawks' defensive performance as the key factor limiting the scoring potential for Monday night's game.
