Seahawks vs. Bears (-10) 41.5 o/u The surprising Seattle Seahawks (7-9) find themselves back at Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears (11-5) in the third game of the NFL’s divisional playoff weekend.

Packers vs. Falcons (-2.5) 43.5 o/u The second game of the NFL’s Divisional playoff weekend has the wild card Green Bay Packers (10-6) heading into Atlanta to face the Falcons (13-3) in what is arguably the most intriguing game of the weekend.
