The only scenarios that arent messy are

Bears over Hawks/Rams beat Cards

Or if Hawks win Thursday, Rams win their last 2 games anyway

But if both teams finish at 10-7 the messy strength of schedule tiebreaker comes into play where you need 4 or 5 games to go your way.


I rather for them to clinch as early as possible which is this week to even avoid that last option.

Chicago has lost 9 in a row since starting 4-2. Seattle is 5-1 on the road. So the most obvious outcome would be a Seahawks win. But isn't it normal in the NFL to get the unexpected? The nice thing is, we'll get to watch it all exclusively on Thursday.

The Hags will beat the Bears. The Rams will have to earn the NFC West title...and they should.

Don't see the Bears winning. Seems like they checked out weeks ago. I keep hearing or reading the Rams clinch with a win next week. Even if we lose to Seattle. Something about strength of victory tiebreaker as a loss to Seattle would have us even in head to head, division record and conference record.

Yeah, I expect the Hawks to beat the Bears. The team is still improving with their new coach, even tho they are not great this year - they will take this game personal and want to win it.

If they can, they will. But I fully WANT a Bears win and that would be so much easier for the Rams.

We gotta beat the Cards.

Seattle favored by 3.5

They may take this game personal and want to win. I'd expect they want to win every game they play. Personal is just something in their own minds, perhaps an artificial element they need for incentive? I'd expect them to beat the Bears but then I expected the Rams to beat the Bears! I would love for the Seahawks to be angry, hungry and thinking about as many things as possible rather than just doing their individual jobs.

They play in Chicago. Could be a weather game. Not sure if that matters. But the Bears can beat them but they have to play a very clean game to do so.

Hoping for a Bears win and help from them is futile. Doesn't mean they can't: but the despair out of Chicago is epic.

would be nice
