Few quarterbacks like to sling the ball with more pizzazz than Caleb Williams and Geno Smith. Though they don’t necessarily captain world-class contenders, both signal-callers have a knack for splashy playmaking, the former using his legs to set up rocket-armed darts as the Chicago Bears’ No. 1 pick and the latter lofting one downfield shot after another as the gung-ho leader of the Seattle Seahawks.

On Thursday, they’ll be on the same field looking to rebound from Week 16 defeats, as the Bears welcome the Seahawks to Soldier Field for the start of Week 17. And their matchup won’t just be must-see material for the potential aerial fireworks, but because Seattle is desperate to stay alive in the playoff race.

How can you tune in? Which matchups are most pivotal? And who’s primed to walk away with the win? Here’s our preview and sports betting prediction:

Can Caleb Williams start faster? The No. 1 overall draft pick has turned a corner of late, throwing 10 touchdowns to zero interceptions in his last five games, but he and the Bears are often playing catchup, as they did after falling behind 20-0 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Seahawks front, meanwhile, can get after opposing pockets if given time, pressuring quarterbacks 35% of the time.Will Geno Smith stay aggressive? It’s probably a dumb question, because when has he not embraced his inner gunslinger?…
