Vikings at Seahawks: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Seattle 35, Minnesota 20
Money line (?)
With Seattle mired at an untenable -334, you don’t want to bet that much chalk. For those looking for a long-shot chance, a small bet on Minnesota (+270) would be a possibility. The best advice is to AVOID this one.
Against the spread (?)
SEATTLE -7 (-110) is perfect ATS so far. Wilson has never lost to the Vikings. He put up 37 points on them last year. Take SEATTLE -7.
Over/Under (?)
This is a scary big number at 56.5. There has to be a ton of points scored to hit that number. By our own prediction of 35-20, it would require another field goal on top of that to hit the Over. Minnesota is a running team and the Seahawks can play that game. There could be eight touchdowns scored and still not hit the Over. Take the UNDER 56.5 (-110).
