The Week 8 NFL schedule ends Monday with a matchup between two NFC contenders.

The Seattle Seahawks will host the Chicago Bears at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday Night Football.

The game pits Seattle's top-ranked total defense against Chicago's third-ranked total offense.

SportsLine daily fantasy expert Mike McClure has released his top picks for the single-game slate.

McClure is a professional player with more than $2 million in career winnings.

He uses a prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action to find value.

His method has led him to finish tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once.

McClure's top pick is Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams.

Using a quarterback against Seattle carries risk due to the Seahawks' tenacious defense.

Williams has been in strong form since returning from a hamstring injury.

He has cleared 300 passing yards in his last two games.

In Week 6 against the Falcons, Williams completed 83% of his attempts for 300 yards or more of passing play efficiency implied by the yardage claim, specifically noted as an astounding 83% completion rate in that game context provided by the source text structure, though the source explicitly states he cleared 300 yards in both and completed 83% against the Falcons. Let's stick strictly to the text: He completed 83% of his attempts against the Falcons in Week 6 and has cleared 300 passing yards in both of his last two games.
