Betting on the Seattle Seahawks
- Season record: 3-3.
- BetMGM Spread: +6.5
- Moneyline: (+240)
- Over/Under: 51.
The Seahawks have been one of the season’s pleasant surprises, now sharing the NFC West lead with the Rams and 49ers after six weeks of play.
Geno Smith has quickly made everyone forget about Russell Wilson with outstanding performances that have steadily encouraged Seattle supporters to dream of a wild card place in the challenging National Conference. With 146 points scored they are sixth in the circuit, second with Ravens and Lions in yards gained per play with 6.2 and third in yards per carry with 5.3, However, there are some things that need improvement. They are the second offense with the most penalties committed with 50.
There are also numerous things to work on defensively if Seattle hopes to end the season on a good note. Only twice have they conceded less than 20 points, which is why they are second in the number of goals allowed with 163.
Additionally, no one has allowed more yards than them with 2,465, they are third in average yards allowed per play with 6.2 and also in net yards allowed through the air with 7.3.
Betting on the Los Angeles Chargers
- Season record: 4-2.
- BetMGM Spread: -6.5
- Moneyline: (-303)
- Over/Under: 51.
The Chargers pulled even with the Chiefs at the top of the AFC West with their third consecutive win in overtime over the Broncos.
It wasn’t the best offensive night for Justin Herbert, who failed to throw a touchdown for the first time in 27 games. However, Los Angeles was able to count on kicker Dustin Hopkins, who despite being in discomfort, made four field goals including the defining one in the extra period. This was only the second time this season that the Chargers have scored less than 24 points, although the strength of Denver’s defense must be taken into consideration.
Defensively, they had little trouble against Russell Wilson and company. After conceding ten points in the first quarter, they conceded only six in the next four periods. This is good news for a defense that has been hit by many injuries and that, along with the Giants, allows the most yards per carry in the entire circuit with 5.6.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the points odds are tempting despite being a little high, this match will be closer than many think. Los Angeles hasn’t been playing well due to many injuries and bad decisions, while two of Seattle’s three losses have come by seven or fewer points.
To that, we can add that the underdog has a 6-0 record against the spread in the last six games between these two teams.
Prediction: Seahawks Spread (SEA 27 – LA 30).
