Giants vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked really good in their games this season with their 3-1 record overall. They are coming off their first loss of the season, losing to the Lions on the road, but their offense still looked great in that game. Now they are back at home and they will be looking to bounce back against a weaker team here. The Lions have a really good offense, but Seattle's defense will have a better time defending this Giants offense. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked great in their games this season with their 1-3 record overall. They are coming off a loss against the Cowboys at home and their offense hasn't looked great this season. This is a really tough stadium to play in with the noise and the atmosphere, and it won't help that the Giants are missing some key players in their offense too. The Giants will struggle to move the ball in this game and the Seahawks have the weapons on offense to pull away here and make this game get out of hand for the Giants. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
Giants Seahawks Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 6, 2024 (4:25 pm ET start time) is Seahawks 27 Giants 13.
