The Seattle Seahawks (3-3) visit Sofi Stadium to battle the Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Seahawks vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
QB Geno Smith has the Seahawks humming early in the season. After the trade of QB Russell Wilson to Denver, many expected a teardown year for the Seahawks. But Smith has proved the critics wrong as he leads the NFL in completion percentage (73.4%). Even with RB Rashaad Penny out for the season with a broken leg, Seattle is still able to perform its offense with rookie RB Kenneth Walker III behind the quarterback.
While the offense for Seattle is playing well, Los Angeles will be able to take advantage of an awful Seattle defense. Chargers QB Justin Herbert is coming off only the 2nd game in his career in which he did not throw a TD. Although his stats were not good, the Chargers were still able to pull out an ugly 19-16 victory in overtime on Monday night against the Broncos. Stats will not be as hard to come by in this game.

Seahawks at Chargers picks and predictions
Prediction
Chargers 35, Seahawks 31
Moneyline
PASS. Line is too high to make a wager.
Against the spread
TAKE SEAHAWKS +5.5 (-115).
The Chargers are good. But in Sofi Stadium they have no home-field advantage. They are not a TD better than the Seahawks.
Coming off a 19-16 victory Monday, they will want to get Herbert moving in this game. With the defense of Seattle being a sieve, they will. But Seattle will match them.
With WRs Lockett (if he plays) and D.K. Metcalf, the Seahawks have the weapons to go toe-to-toe with Los Angeles. This will be a close game coming down to the final drive. So, I’ll take the underdog SEAHAWKS -5.5 (-115).
Over/Under
TAKE OVER 50.5 (-115).
As stated, the Chargers will want to get Herbert going. On the other side of the ball, Smith will find his weapons and Walker will run all over the 31st-ranked Chargers run defense. Much like the Cleveland Browns did, the Seahawks will use the run game to set up the pass game. And much like that game which finished 30-28, this game will also go way OVER 50.5 (-115) total. This is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.
