Monday's sports calendar features a packed betting slate headlined by the Chicago Bears visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, alongside a full NBA schedule, NHL action, and college basketball matchups.
Bears at Seahawks (NFL)
The Bears (5-2) travel to face the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks (4-3) at 8:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN. Quarterback Caleb Williams has thrown for over 300 yards in each of his last two games, but Seattle's pass defense leads the league allowing just 144.4 yards per game; no opposing quarterback has reached 200 yards against them this season. The Seahawks are 3.5-point favorites. The SportsLine Projection Model favors Seattle to cover the spread in 60% of simulations, while props expert PropBetGuy recommends Colston Loveland under 18.5 yards longest reception.
Pelicans at Grizzlies (NBA)
At 8 p.m. Eastern, the undefeated Memphis Grizzlies (6-0) host the New Orleans Pelicans (0-2 on the road). Memphis leads the NBA in scoring (121.2 points per game) and ranks third in defense (106 points allowed). The SportsLine model projects the Grizzlies to cover the 5.5-point spread 66% of the time. Rookie forward Cameron Boozer, who recently became the second-youngest player in league history to record a triple-double, is backed by expert Alex Selesnick to exceed 30.5 combined points, assists, and rebounds.
Flames at Sharks (NHL)
San Jose hosts Calgary at 9 p.m. Eastern on ESPN+. Both teams rank in the bottom third of NHL scoring (Sharks 23rd with 40 goals, Flames tied for 27th with 36). The SportsLine model projects the under 6.5 total goals to hit in 68% of simulations. Expert Matt Severance favors the Sharks on the money line, noting Calgary's 1-5-0 road record.
Buffalo at Marshall (College Basketball)
At 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN+, the Marshall Thundering Herd open their 2026-27 home slate against the Buffalo Bulls. Marshall won 13 of 17 home games last season at the Cam Henderson Center. The SportsLine model gives the Thundering Herd a 77% win probability, but expert Thomas Casale likes Buffalo to cover the 3-point spread.
