Seattle Seahawks slight road favorites at Buffalo Bills in Week 9

The Seattle Seahawks are the betting favorites in their Week 9 road game at the Buffalo Bills.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-1) hit the road to battle the Buffalo Bills (6-2) Sunday in Week 9 at 1 p.m. ET at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Seahawks withstood a furious comeback by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8, hanging on for a 37-27 win in the Pacific Northwest to bounce back after the team’s first loss of the season (in Week 7 at Arizona). They were also able to grab a cover, snapping a mini-slide against the number, going 0-2 ATS the past two weeks. Seattle has scored at least 27 points in all seven of its outings, and it has been even more prolific on the road. The Seahawks have averaged 34.3 PPG in three road outings. This will be Seattle’s third trip to the Eastern Time Zone this season. They’re 2-0 SU/ATS after successful trips to Atlanta in Week 1 and Miami in Week 4.

The Bills slipped past the New England Patriots in Week 8, winning 24-21 while failing to cover a 4-point number. It hasn’t been pretty for the Bills over the past four games, frankly, as they’re averaging just 18.8 PPG after putting up 30.8 PPG in the first four contests. As a result, the Bills opened 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS, but they’re just 2-2 SU and 0-4 ATS across the previous four. After opening on a 4-0-1 Over run, the Under is 2-1 in Buffalo’s past three. QB Josh Allen has struggled lately, failing to toss a touchdown in each of the past two game after throwing two or more TDs in each of his first six outings.

49ers at Seahawks game notes

  • The 49ers enter on a two-game win streak following a 33-6 rout of the New England Patriots on the road. The 49ers, who were a 3-point dog, outgained the Pats 467 total yards to 241, while the defense finished with four interceptions. San Francisco QB Jimmy Garopollo was an impressive 20 of 25 for 277 passing yards, but he was picked off twice.
  • Seattle lost its first game of the season, falling to the Arizona Cardinals 37-34 in overtime last Sunday night. QB Russell Wilson threw for 388 yards (33 of 50), but was picked off three times, including an interception in overtime. WR Tyler Lockett caught all three of Wilson’s TD passes and finished with 15 receptions for 200 yards. The Seahawks were 3.5-point favorites.
  • The 49ers are 4-3 ATS, while the Seahawks are 4-2 ATS.
  • San Francisco owns a 3-4 O/U record, averaging 25.5 points per game. On the defensive end, the 49ers allow just 19.5 PPG to rank fifth in the league.
  • Seattle is 4-2 O/U and leads the league in scoring (33.8) and total yards (425.2) per game. The defense yields 28.7 PPG.
  • The rivals split their two games last season with Seattle winning at San Francisco 27-24 in overtime on Nov. 11 in what could be considered the game of the year. The 49ers responded by winning in Seattle 26-21 seven weeks later.

49ers at Seahawks: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Seahawks 28, 49ers 23

Money line (?)

While I have the Seahawks (-152) winning, I’m going to PASS and focus on the spread.

Against the spread (?)

The SEAHAWKS -3 (-106) are the way to go. Don’t play if the line climbs to -3.5 or higher. If it drops to -2.5, which I doubt it will, it becomes my STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager.

Seattle will have had a full week to think about how it blew the 10-point, fourth-quarter lead at Arizona. Wilson & Co. will be focused and will not lose back-to-back.

Over/Under (?)

This is a tough call. As mentioned, the Seahawks feature the best offense in the league and the 49ers defense ranks fifth. I’m calling for a small play on the UNDER 53.5 (-106) – half your usual wager. Don’t play if the line drops to 52.5 or lower.

Seahawks at Cardinals: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction

Prediction

Cardinals 27, Seahawks 24

Money line (?)

The Cardinals are playing defense at a high level but the Seahawks seem to be able to come back from any deficit. The Cardinals have not beaten the Seahawks at home since 2012, but Seattle allow over 470 yards of offense per game and the Cardinals have weapons to put up points. This is the game where the Seahawks can fall. Take the CARDINALS (+160).

Against the spread (?)

Seattle is 4-1 ATS this season and the Cardinals are 4-2 ATS. The Cardinals are 2-0 ATS as an underdog. Take the CARDINALS +3.5 (-115).

Over/Under (?)

Despite the talk of the Cardinals offense, it is the defense that has mattered most. All six of Arizona’s games have gone Under the total. Seattle is 3-2 O/U. While many expect a shootout, both team’s defenses will make it an entertaining game, but it will fall short of the total. Take UNDER 55.5 (-110).
