Prediction
Seattle 30, Minnesota 24
Moneyline (?)
This is pretty simple. If you think the Vikings are going to win, take them on the moneyline at +125. While Seattle gets a pretty nice price (-150), it’s getting a better return while laying 2.5 points on the spread. If you bet the moneyline, take the VIKINGS (+125).
Against the Spread (?)
With a small margin of 2.5 points, the Seahawks will cover and provide bettors with a better return on investment than the moneyline with a win by at least three points. Take the SEAHAWKS (-2.5, -121)
Over/Under (?)
The projected total of 48.5 points is getting more juice on the Over (-125) while the Under (+105) is getting plus-money. Both defenses have shown the ability to shut down opposing offenses, but they also play aggressive, risk-taking defense which can be exploited by the big play. Seattle has the weapons to take advantage of Minnesota’s aggression and the Vikings have had two weeks to prepare. Look for a back and forth game that hits the OVER 48.5 (-125).
