Betting on the Seattle Seahawks
With Russell Wilson’s departure, the Seahawks were left badly beaten and with no chance of competing in a National Conference West division that features great teams. However, their fans had reasons to smile in Week 4 after picking up their second win of the season with a 48-45 victory over the Detroit Lions in an extremely crazy clash.
Interestingly, seven of the Seahawks’ nine drives in that game against the Lions ended in points, although surely that game cannot serve as a yardstick to measure their offense since they faced the worst defense in the entire league.
Betting on the New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints had to travel to London in Week 4 to play their game against the Minnesota Vikings, in which they were defeated 28-25 and suffered their third consecutive loss. Likewise, it was the fourth game in which the Saints have allowed at least 20 points.
A concern for the Saints is the physical condition of starting quarterback Jameis Winston and star receiver Michael Thomas, who were unable to play in London and remain doubtful for the upcoming match against Seattle.Their chances of pulling off a win will surely depend on whether the duo can recover in time for the match.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Seahawks vs Saints predictions, it is difficult to predict a result for the match considering the doubts of the home team, who is the favorite according to the bookmakers.
The Saints managed to give Minnesota problems despite the absence of two important players, and this could be taken as a positive after the previous two games in which they had failed to surpass the 15-point mark. In fact, New Orleans’ only win to date came in Week 1 after a dramatic game against their then-rival Falcons, which takes some credit away.
Seattle may have scored a lot in Week 4, but that’s not expected to be repeated this time around. However, the Seahawks have managed to stay in contention against teams of their stature such as the Broncos (17-16 win), Falcons (27-23 loss) and Lions, and their only loss by a wide margin was to the 49ers (27-7), a far superior team.
Counting on the Saints’ absences, we think the Seahawks could cover their spread or even win, but we will have to monitor the status of Thomas and Winston over the course of the week.
Forecast: Seattle Seahawks Spread (SEA 27 – NO 21)
