Browns vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks are 4-2 this season and have looked a lot better in their games lately after the way they started the season. They have a lot of talent on their offense and their defense has also been improving now. The Browns have also looked good this season with their 4-2 record overall and they have looked pretty good in their last 2 games as they have had to play with a backup QB. The Browns also have one of the best defenses in the NFL but they are playing a much better offense than what they saw last week in Indianapolis and this is going to be a tough spot for them with a backup QB on the road for the 2nd straight week and now having to travel out West. The Browns are going to struggle on offense in this game with the Seahawks defense improving lately and the Seahawks have a lot more talent on their offense, they will do enough to win this game and cover at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
Browns Seahawks Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 29, 2023 (4:05 pm ET start time) is Seahawks 24 Browns 17.
