Chargers at Seahawks odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Seahawks 22, Chargers 13
Money line
The Chargers won’t play QB Justin Herbert or S Derwin James, instead using a combination of QBs Chase Daniel and Easton Stick. The Seahawks appear to be leaning toward QB Russell Wilson making his preseason debut, and that’s the difference here.
However, the Seahawks (-250) are too expensive on the money line. AVOID, and look to the spread.
Against the spread
The SEAHAWKS -5.5 (-108) are a good play with Wilson and a host of other starters playing on their home turf, while the Chargers rest some key cogs. It won’t be a slam-dunk cover, but it will be a cover nonetheless.
Over/Under
UNDER 35.5 (-110) is the slight lean, as the Under has connected for both sides in their four combined preseason games.
The Seattle offense needs to get going, so look for the starters to see a little extended playing time. However, the defenses for both sides have played well and will keep this from going Over.
