The is a game that is massively important to the Seahawks, as Seattle is looking to stay alive in the NFC West division race and NFC playoff picture, while the Bears don’t have much to play for, but still pose a threat to pull off an upset in this spot. This should be an exciting contest, so let’s get into my best Seahawks vs Bears player prop bet, while you can also see our NFL picks for every game in Week 17!

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) anytime touchdown scorer (+195)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba hasn’t always had a smooth time of things in Seattle, but he’s been the team’s best receiver by a considerable margin over the second half of this season. The former Ohio State product has racked up at least 6 catches in 7 of his last 9 games played, to go along with nearly 600 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns in that span. With injuries keeping DK Metcalf out of the lineup for a couple of games, Smith-Njigba has quickly become a new favorite target for Geno Smith, which has led to terrific showings against the likes of the Vikings, Packers, Cardinals, 49ers and Rams. All of those teams are certainly better than the Bears, and it remains to be seen if Chicago’s defense will give its best effort in an otherwise meaningless game for them. Smith-Njigba has double-digit targets in back-to-back games, and I’ll take that trend to continue on Thursday. At nearly 2-1 odds, this number is too good to pass up.
