This is a game the Bears expect to win. This season the Bears offense has been far stronger than in recent years and the defense has been solid as usual. But they do have some obvious weaknesses. They (Cutler) commit far too many unnecessary turnovers and their pass defense has looked shaky at times. For Cutler, this is his first playoff game of his career.

The Seahawks, on the other hand, have experienced success in their last two elimination games (the last game of the regular season against the Rams was an elimination game) and have a been-there-done-that QB in Hasselbeck, who has already been to the Super Bowl this decade. Hasselbeck has proven to be clutch under pressure and is leading a hungry team that wants to prove they do belong in the playoffs.

What will happen: Cutler will throw some silly picks and Hasselbeck, with the help of Marshawn Lynch, will shred the Bears defense and lead the Seahawks to an upset of seismic proportions (see: Quest Field "earthquake")
