Seahawks vs Ravens Prediction

The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens are 6-2 this season and have looked great all year but they have been playing a lot better in their last few games specifically. They are starting to get into a groove on offense and even though they only won against the Cardinals by 7 last week, they were still on the road and in complete control of that entire game. The Seahawks have also looked really good this season with their 5-2 record overall but they have been overachieving in their games a little. This is going to be a tough game for them on the road as they have to travel across the country and they were already fortunate to beat the Browns at home in their last game as they needed an interception and a last minute drive to save the game. The Ravens are pushing to be one of the best teams in the NFL this season and the Seahawks don't have the talent on offense and defense to slow the Ravens down at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game. 

Seahawks Ravens Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 5, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Ravens 31 Seahawks 21.
