Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (4-2) and Seattle Seahawks (4-2) meet Sunday for a Week 8 matchup at Lumen Field in Seattle. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns head to Seattle for a 2nd consecutive road game after a wild 39-38 comeback win at the Indianapolis Colts. That shootout in Indy featured 4 different lead changes in the final quarter. It was a rare Over result, too, as the Under had been 3-1-1 in the first 5 games for Cleveland.

QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) tried to start in Indianapolis, but he made just 5 pass attempts before having to check out. QB P.J. Walker finished up, and did a great job running the offense to a 2nd straight win.

The Seahawks doubled up the Arizona Cardinals at home by a 20-10 score, pushing as 10-point favorites at most shops. The defense has been strong lately, allowing just 40 total points in the past 3 games (13.3 PPG) while cashing the Under in 3 in a row.

Browns at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 19, Browns 15

Moneyline

The Seahawks (-190) are a little too expensive to play straight up, laying nearly 2 times your potential return. This is going to be a close, defensive battle which really could go in anybody’s favor.

Seattle has some question marks, too, as Lockett carries a questionable tag. DK Metcalf (ribs) is back after missing last week’s game, but he is one big hit away from checking back out.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SEAHAWKS -3.5 (-112) are the lean, but go lightly.

The preference is betting this at a flat 3, or better yet, 2 and a hook. This is actually a pretty unfavorable line, as it could come right down to a last-second field goal in a low-scoring, defensive game. At least the weather will cooperate in the Pacific Northwest, with sunny skies and a fast track.

Over/Under

UNDER 37.5 (-110) is the lean, but this is a very low scoring. Tread lightly.

We’ve seen the Under cash in 3 in a row for Seattle, with the Seahawks averaging 19.0 PPG while allowing 10.0 PPG.

For Cleveland, the Over last week was an anomaly. The defense allowed 38 points to backup QB Gardner Minshew II and the Colts, but prior to that the Browns yielded just 77 total points in the first 5 games combined.
