Bills vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked good in their games this season with their 4-3 record overall which has them at the top of the NFC West at the moment. They started the season 3-0 and then lost 3 games in a row to get back to .500, but they bounced back in their last one and are coming off a nice win on the road against the Falcons. Their offense looked great in that game and that has been something that has been very consistent for the Seahawks all season. Meanwhile, the Bills have looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them leading the AFC East. They also started the season 3-0 and then lost 2 games in a row, but now they have won 2 games in a row to get to 5-2. They are coming off a big win over the Titans in their last one, blowing them out at home 34-10, but a lot of the wins for the Bills this season have been against weaker teams too. This is going to be a much tougher game for them on the road with Seattle being one of the toughest places to play in the league. The Seahawks have the offense to give this Bills defense some trouble and as good as the Bills offense looked last week, they have been really up and down this season as they do lack some playmakers. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
