Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL 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.

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Cardinals (1-5) play their 3rd divisional road game in 4 weeks in Week 7, facing the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) Sunday. Kickoff from Lumen Field is Seattle is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cardinals vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cardinals have lost 3 in a row and are coming off a 26-9 road loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6, failing to cover the 7.5-point spread as underdogs. The Under (47.5) hit in the loss.

The Seahawks came off their bye and lost on the road 17-13 to the Cincinnati Bengals as 3-point underdogs. The Under (45.5) cashed in. The loss snapped a 3-game winning streak they had from before their bye week.

Cardinals at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 31, Cardinals 20

Moneyline

The Cardinals are winless on the road this season and have lost 3 straight. The Seahawks had won 3 in a row before their setback.

Defensively, they have decreased the yards they have allowed in every game so far this season.

The Cardinals have led at halftime in 4 of their 6 games but have been outscored 98-30 in the 2nd half of games. They have allowed 3 100-yard rushers in their last 4 games and 3 140-yard receivers in each of their last 3.

But it isn’t worth the action to bet the Seahawks on the moneyline.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals started the season 3-0 ATS but have not covered the spread in their last 3 games. In their last 3 games alone, they have been outscored 51-12 in the 2nd half.

Missing RB James Conner, who is on injured reserve, on offense gives them almost nothing. QB Josh Dobbs has 5 turnovers in his last 2 games.

Seattle’s skill players are just too talented.

BET SEAHAWKS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Cardinals had 4 consecutive games go Over the projected total before their loss to the Rams last week.

The Seahawks have scored 37 points twice.

Before scoring only 9 points last week, the Cardinals had at least 20 in 3 of their previous 4. They have allowed 31.7 points per game over their last 3.

BET OVER 44.5 (-110).

Seattle Seahawks at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Seahawks (3-1) travel to meet the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) in inter-conference action Sunday. Kickoff from Paycor Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Seattle, who had a bye last week, has won its last 3 games since starting off with a loss in week 1 vs. the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle’s offense has looked phenomenal in its 3 wins this season, averaging 32.6 points per game during that span. Seattle’s struggles on the defensive side of the ball are very worrying as Seattle’s defense is allowing 392.8 yards per game while the offense averages 335.8 yards per game.

Quarterback Joe Burrow and Cincinnati’s offense had its best game of the season in last week’s 34-20 win vs. the Arizona Cardinals; Cincinnati covered as a 3-point favorite. The connection between Burrow and star WR Ja’Marr Chase looked unstoppable for the 1st time this season in that win as Burrow hit Chase 15 times on 19 targets for 192 yards and 2 TDs.

Many fans now believe that Burrow’s calf injury is now healed and that this Bengals team can finally get back on track after starting the season 1-3.

Seahawks at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 31, Seahawks 24

Moneyline

BET BENGALS (-155).

Burrow looked healthier than he has looked all season in that win vs. Arizona, which makes me confident in Cincinnati’s ability to win this game. Seattle is a much tougher test than Arizona, but I do believe that Burrow will torch this Seahawks’ passing defense that allows 305.3 passing yards per game.

Against the spread

LEAN BENGALS -3 (-110).

Cincinnati has struggled to run the ball all year, but Seattle’s biggest weakness defensively is through the air, and Burrow should be able to exploit that with ease. Even with how bad the Bengals’ defense has been this year, Seattle’s has been worse, and I trust Burrow to exploit this matchup a lot more than I trust QB Geno Smith for Seattle.

Over/Under

BET OVER 45 (-110).

Both of these squads struggle defensively and have very talented offenses. Cincinnati allows 367.6 yards per game to opposing offenses and has allowed opposing teams to score at least 20 points in 4 of their 5 games on the season. Seattle allowed at least 30 points in each of its first 2 games and allowed Carolina to score 27 in week 3. Both offenses should be able to shred the opposing team’s defense in this matchup.

Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants Week 4 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Seahawks (2-1) and the New York Giants (1-2) meet for Monday Night Football in Week 4 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Seahawks won a high-scoring 37-27 matchup against the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 3, covering as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (43.5) connected. Seattle has scored exactly 37 in each of the past 2 wins — the 1st against the Lions — both covers and Over results, after a stunning 30-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.

The Giants opened with a giant goose egg in Week 1, falling 40-0 at home on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. New York hopes its 2nd appearance on primetime goes a little better. The Giants topped the Arizona Cardinals 31-28 in Week 2, coming back from a 20-0 deficit, but they were hammered 30-12 at San Francisco in Week 3. The G-Men are 0-3 ATS with the Under cashing in 2 of the 3 outings.

Seahawks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 29, Giants 20

Moneyline

SEATTLE (-124) is a decent play on the road as a small favorite.

Seattle won its only road game of the season in Week 2, outlasting Detroit 37-31 in overtime in one of the more entertaining games of the early going. The Seahawks have won 2 straight since losing their opener, while the Giants have looked terrible in 2½ games. New York could easily be 0-3, but as mentioned above, it rallied from 20 down to shock Arizona 31-28 — still failing to cover as a 4.5-point road favorite.

Against the spread

SEATTLE -1.5 (-110) is a cheaper play laying the 1½ points. There is some concern with the Seahawks’ injury report, but excluding the TE situation, the offense is mostly intact.

The have played terrible football for all but 2 quarters this season. Coach Brian Daboll’s defense has coughed up 28 or more points in all 3 games, and the Giants are 0-3 ATS to date. Not good.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-105) is the lean.

Again, the G-Men have surrendered at least 28 points in each of their 3 games, coughing up 32.7 points per game (PPG) to rank 30th in the NFL entering the week. The powerful Seahawks offense will likely do most of the heavy lifting to get this one across the finish line.

The concern is that the Giants offense might not offer much help. It ranks 28th in total yards per game (253.3) and passing yards (165.3) per game, while managing just 14.3 PPG to rank 31st.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (0-2) will travel West to face the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) in Week 3 Sunday at Lumen Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers lost 20-17 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 to push as 3-point home underdogs. Carolina and New Orleans also hit the Under of 40 points. The Panthers have been outscored 44-27 in the first 2 weeks, and rookie QB Bryce Young is out with an ankle injury.

The Seahawks covered as 5-point road underdogs in their 37-31 overtime win over the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Seattle and Detroit easily cleared the Over of 47.5 points. The hope for the Seahawks is that WR D.K. Metcalf is active in Week 3 after suffering a rib injury in Week 2.

Panthers at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 24, Panthers 16

Moneyline

Even with the Seahawks expected to win with ease at home in Week 3, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds (-250).

Against the spread

SEAHAWKS -5.5 (-110) is the bet in this game as the offense of the Panthers has looked abysmal through the first 2 weeks. QB Andy Dalton will also start with Young ruled out.

While Seattle is 2-3 ATS in its last 5 games, the Seahawks are at home and QB Geno Smith is coming off a nice bounce-back performance in Week 2 following a dud in Week 1.

Over/Under

UNDER 42 (-110) is the lean in this game with how putrid the offense of the Panthers has been. Both defenses are solid and the Seahawks may lean on their ground attack more with RB Kenneth Walker as Metcalf could be sidelined.

The Panthers are 0-2 to the Over in the first 2 weeks, while the Seahawks are 1-1 to the Over in the first 2 weeks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Lions (1-0) welcome the Seattle Seahawks (0-1) to Ford Field Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Lions opened the season up with a 21-20 win on Thursday Night Football over the Kansas City Chiefs, covering as a 4-point underdog. They use a dual-threat attack, ending with 118 rushing yards and 250 passing yards. RB David Montgomery led the way on the ground with 74 yards. The Lions finished last season 12-5 against the spread (ATS), the 2nd-best ATS record in the NFL.

The Seahawks were just 7-11 ATS last season and failed to cover their Week 1 opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle lost 30-13 at home, closing as a 4-point favorite. QB Geno Smith ended just 16-of-26 for 112 yards and a touchdown. WR DK Metcalf led the way in the receiving game with 3 receptions on 5 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

Seahawks at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 27, Seahawks 23

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lions are the better side here. At home, they should win, but their -225 value to win outright isn’t worth a wager.

Against the spread

LEAN SEAHAWKS +4.5 (-110).

The Lions will be a popular pick to cover in Week 2 after beating the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs in Week 1. However, the Seahawks limited the Rams to just 2.3 yards per rush attempt, so it will have to be QB Jared Goff to beat Seattle in Week 2 instead of the Lions’ dynamic run game. After one week, the Chiefs ranked No. 1 in drops in Week 1 with 5.

The Seahawks have receivers that will be better when the ball gets to them and should expose a Lions defense that had holes in Week 1. Expect a bounce-back showing from Seattle and for it to cover. Take SEAHAWKS +4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 47 (-110).

The Seahawks don’t have the linebackers to be able to keep up with the Lions backfield, and with RB Jahmyr Gibbs looking to get an expanded role, the dynamic back could get loose often. Similarly, the Lions may not have the secondary to keep pace with three terrific Seattle receiving weapons.

The Seahawks should be more in tune offensively and top their 13-point performance in Week 1. The Lions were 10-7 O/U in 2022 while Seattle was 9-9 O/U. Take the OVER 47 (-110).

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will kick off their seasons on Sunday with a Week 1 NFC West matchup at Lumen Field. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rams vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams are coming off a dreadful 5-12 season after winning the Super Bowl 19 months ago, suffering through countless injuries and shuffling across their roster in 2022. They didn’t make many additions this offseason but they did lose several starters, including CB Jalen Ramsey, LB Bobby Wagner and LB Leonard Floyd.

The Seahawks had a surprisingly good 2022 campaign, going 9-8 with Geno Smith at quarterback in his first year with the team. Smith is back as the starter in 2023 and he’ll once again have WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at his disposal, making this an offense that could be tough to defend.

Rams at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 30, Rams 20

Moneyline

The Seahawks (-225) are kind of heavy home favorites but this is a risky matchup as is the case with any early-season divisional game. The Rams are expected to be one of the worst teams in football but they still have QB Matthew Stafford and DL Aaron Donald, two players who have proven they can get the job done.

The moneyline isn’t worth the risk for Seattle against a Sean McVay-led team that’s 5-1 in openers since 2017, so I’m going to PASS.

Against the spread

The Rams were swept by the Seahawks last season but they managed to keep both games close. I don’t think Sunday’s matchup will be as narrow with Kupp sidelined.

The Seahawks will take care of business at home against an inexperienced defense and an offense that’s missing its only true reliable weapon.

BET SEAHAWKS -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

I don’t expect this game to turn into a shootout because it is Week 1 and there’s some rust to knock off, but it’s hardly going to be a defensive slugfest. The Rams will struggle to stop Seattle’s offense, both through the air and on the ground, which will in turn force Stafford to throw it more often.

I like the OVER 46 (-110).

Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Seahawks (2-0) and Green Bay Packers (1-1) meet Saturday in Week 3 preseason action. Kickoff from Lambeau Field is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Seattle beat the Dallas Cowboys 22-14 last week to stay undefeated in the preseason. Seattle played a good number of starters on both sides of the ball in that win, and they looked solid. Starting QB Geno Smith went 5 of 6 for 46 yards and his backup, QB Drew Lock, went 5 of 6 for 119 yards.

Coach Pete Carroll won’t play the starters heavily vs. Green Bay. He has indicated that Lock will get significant playing time yet again.

Green Bay lost 21-17 to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Starting QB Jordan Love and some of the other starters saw action. Love went 5-for-8 for 84 yards and 1 TD. Rookie QB Sean Clifford, who has been announced as the Packers’ backup QB, saw significant playing time vs. New England.

Coach Matt LaFleur said he plans to play Love and most of the starting unit vs. Seattle, but there’s no indication of how much they will play.

Prediction

Seahawks 27, Packers 23

Moneyline

LEAN SEAHAWKS (-130).

Many of Seattle’s brightest stars have not seen any time in the preseason, and that is likely to continue for this game, but I don’t think it will matter much. Lock has looked very solid and has proven he can lead this preseason offense. I expect Lock to post yet another solid outing and lead the Seahawks to an undefeated preseason record.

Against the spread

BET SEAHAWKS +3 (-110).

Clifford and Love have both been pretty solid so far for Green Bay, but Lock and the Seahawks are on a tear right now. The Seahawks have seen production from their starters in their limited minutes, and have also seen production from some unexpected places, like undrafted free agent WR Jake Bobo.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 40.5 (-105).

The Seahawks have scored 20+ points in each preseason game and the Packers can put up big numbers, like the 31 points in the Week 1 win vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. I expect both teams to continue to play a lot of backups in this game, meaning the points for both teams should be consistent with what we’ve seen through the 1st 2 weeks of the preseason.

Cowboys at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 23, Seahawks 20

Moneyline

The Cowboys will not have their most important starters (QB Dak Prescott, CB Trevon Diggs, LB Micah Parsons) in this game. Seattle could play some starters.

Both teams showed the ability to score points in their preseason openers.

But as things go with all preseason games, because the game ultimately will be decided by players who either will be backups or not on NFL rosters, the only way to bet the preseason is to go with the plus odds on the moneyline.

BET COWBOYS (+220).

Against the spread

The Seahawks covered the spread in their win last week.

The Cowboys could not cover the 4-point spread as underdogs.

But because of the volatility of preseason games, there is no good way to follow trends.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both teams scored in the 20s last week.

Seven of the 16 preseason games last week had more than 40 total points.

The Cowboys’ game had 51 total points, while the Seahawks’ game had 37.

Expect both teams to be able to do offensively what they did in their preseason openers.

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks look to follow up their 2022 success in their first game since exiting the playoffs when they meet Thursday for Week 1 NFL Preseason action. Kickoff from Lumen Field is at 10 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Vikings vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

With the reduction down to just 3 preseason games, most teams won’t play many (if any) of their key starters during the entirety of the preseason — much less the first game.

The Vikings and head coach Kevin O’Connell have a short track record of using the preseason to find out which players are competing for back-end roster spots. While some coaches want to build momentum and keep guys who have roster spots locked down on the field a lot, O’Connell showed in his first season as the boss that he had no interest in needlessly endangering his starters. None of his key veteran players took a single snap in the preseason in 2022 and it was reflected in a 0-3 record.

Seattle hasn’t fared much better, going 1-5 over the two years with three preseason games. However, veteran coach Pete Carroll has made it more of a point to get his starters some live snaps during the preseason, and that may be why the Seahawks are prohibitive preseason favorites.

Vikings at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 23, Vikings 14

Moneyline

AVOID.

There are very few scenarios where you should risk nearly twice as much money on a bet as you win if you’re right. Seattle deserves to be a significant favorite because they have more depth than Minnesota and those 2nd- and 3rd-string guys on the depth chart are going to be the ones playing.

The Seahawks should win this game without too much difficulty, but it’s simply too big a bet for too little in return.

Against the spread

TAKE THE SEAHAWKS -3.5 (-110)

Asking a team to cover the extra hook on 3.5 points seems like a lot for a preseason game, but there are a handful of games on this week’s slate that are higher.

The Vikings’ 1st-team defense was brutal despite going 13-4 last year — much less the guys on the back side of the roster. New defensive coordinator Brian Flores is bringing an aggressive new style to Minnesota, but the guys who will be playing the most snaps in this game are more than likely going to be unemployed Labor Day weekend.

The Seahawks’ depth beyond the starters is deeper than the Vikings and indications are they may give some of their starters a series or two in front of the home fans — something the Vikings won’t do. That alone is reason to think the Seahawks have what it takes to cover this number.

Over/Under

TAKE THE OVER 35 (-110).

There is only one game with a lower O/U than this one in the first week of preseason action. Minnesota’s defense is still learning a new scheme and is going up against a Seattle system that has gone largely unchanged for more than a decade, the Seahawks could easily turn one of the projected 3 field goals into a touchdown. If that’s the case, the Vikings don’t need to accomplish much to hit the Over.

Some prized offensive playmaking rookies for both teams — WR Jordan Addison for the Vikings and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and RB Zach Charbonnet for the Seahawks — are expected to have a play or two designed to hit a home run. If one of them hits, the Over just gets that much easier to attain.
