The betting market is busy ahead of Monday night's Week 8 matchup between the Bears and Seahawks, and the expert consensus has a few recurring themes.

On the side, CBS Sports' featured expert likes taking the points with the underdog in what's projected as a prime-time shootout. Deadspin's handicapper leans the other way on game environment, arguing Chicago has bled points away from home this season and that Seattle's defensive strength at home could be the difference.

Props are where most of the volume is. CBS Sports flags high-volume value on Jaxson Smith-Njigba plus plus-money tight end props, while Yahoo Sports has multiple prop-focused cards out for the game. SportsLine's machine-learning AI also published a same-game parlay build for Seattle-Chicago.

On the predictions side, Yahoo's bold calls for the game center on the Caleb Williams-to-Rome Odunze connection and a big night from Bears pass rusher Austin Booker. Between the AI parlays, the underdog-plus-points angle and the JSN volume play, Monday night's card offers plenty of directions — though the experts notably disagree on whether this turns into a shootout or a Seattle-controlled grind.
