Betting on the Seattle Seahawks
- Season record: 6-3.
- BetMGM Spread: +2.5.
- Moneyline: (+120)
- Over/Under: 44.5.
The post Russell Wilson era is off to a good start for the Seahawks, and this Sunday they have a chance to continue reinforcing their good performance against a very inconsistent Buccaneers.
Undoubtedly, the offense led by Geno Smith has been the key to this team that is positioned as the leader of the NFC West over the Rams and the 49ers. Despite being the second-most penalized offensive line, their 241 points are the second in the league only surpassed by the Chiefs.
In addition, rookie Kenneth Walker has been key to becoming the third best team in average yards per carry with 5.2, the fourth in average yards per play with 6.0, and the sixth in net yards per pass with 6.7.
The problems come from the defense despite a slight improvement in recent weeks. While the Seahawks have allowed fewer than 20 points in two of their last four games, they have the second-most penalties on defense, and their 3,281 yards allowed is the fifth-highest number.
Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Season record: 4-5.
- BetMGM Spread: -2.5.
- Moneyline: (-145)
- Over/Under: 44.5.
The Buccaneers are far from being the team it was expected to be, and it is the co-leader of its division, with a 4-5 record, being in the only group where all the representatives have a negative record.
Despite having Tom Brady as the leader of the offense, Tampa Bay is one of the weakest teams in offense in the championship, mainly due to the lack of ground game. Averaging 3.0 yards per carry, the Bucs are last in this category in the league. In addition, they are averaging just 5.0 yards per play, the sixth-lowest number in the league, and have scored more than 20 points in only three of nine games.
So, how are they still in the race? Well, that it is thanks to their defense. The 5.0 yards allowed per play is the sixth-best figure of the season, meanwhile through the air they concede just 5.2 net yards per pass, the fourth-best average in the circuit. Likewise, in six games the opponents have scored 20 points or less, something they have not been able to take advantage of due to the aforementioned offensive problems.
JefeBet Prediction
In Las Vegas they don’t seem to believe much in the Seahawks’ good season, and for this game the Buccaneers are set to start as the slight favorites despite their poor offensive performance. In addition, it is a fact that Seattle has a 1-4 record playing against the spread in the last five games against their crosstown rivals.
However, that will change this Sunday. In the only two games they have played against teams with positive records, the Bucs have been defeated, and the Seahawks’ ground attack is going to have a good day against Tampa Bay’s main weakness. Yes, Tom Brady could awaken against Seattle, but this defense has been improving and will give the star quarterback no quarter.
Prediction: Seahawks to win (SEA 21 – TB 17).
