In what could be the game of the week, the 5-2 Buffalo Bills travel to Seattle to take on the 4-3 Seahawks.
The Bills have won two games in a row and sit alone atop the AFC East. Quarterback Josh Allen is having an MVP caliber season with 12 touchdown passes, zero interceptions and 179 rushing yards with three rushing touchdowns. Buffalo has a league best +10 turnover differential and its offense as a whole ranks fifth in points per game at 28.4.
After a tough three-game skid, the Seahawks got back into the win column last week with a 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Geno Smith leads an explosive passing attack as he ranks first among all quarterbacks in passing yards with 1,985.
He may be without his top wide receiver in DK Metcalf for this game after Metcalf injured his knee last week, but Seattle has nice depth at the position with Jackson-Smith Njigba and Tyler Lockett.
Let's dive into the odds and best bets for this matchup.
*Odds from DraftKings Sportsbook and subject to change
Bills-Seahawks Moneyline
Bills: -162
Seahawks: +136
This might be the most fun game of the week to watch, but toughest to predict. The Bills' record is impressive, but they haven't beaten a winning team this season. Being the road team also makes it difficult to pick them to win.
On the flip side, the Seahawks potentially being without Metcalf is a major blow. Even if he plays, he'll likely be limited. At the end of the day, I think Allen's running ability gives Buffalo the x-factor it needs to pull out the win. I'm going to play it safe and bet the moneyline since the spread is pretty tight.
Bills-Seahawks Spread
Bills: -3 (-110)
Seahawks: +3 (-110)
I'm confident that this will end as a one-possession game, but picking a team to win by two points or less is always tough, so I'm avoiding the spread for this matchup.
Bills-Seahawks Over/Under 47 points
Over: -108
Under: -112
Neither of these teams have very stellar defenses, and both offenses rank in the top eight of the NFL in points per game. I feel pretty good about betting the over.
Prop Bets
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker anytime TD scorer (-140)
Walker has scored a touchdown in every game he's played this season except one. With Metcalf possibly missing this contest, Walker could be leaned on even more. He's not only a threat to run for a touchdown, but to catch one as well as he is a quality receiving back.
Bills QB Josh Allen 2+ passing touchdowns (-125)
Allen isn't quite averaging two passing touchdowns per game, but Seattle has surrendered the sixth-most in the league. On top of that, Allen has a shiny new toy in receiver Amari Cooper, who caught a touchdown in his Bills debut last week. There should be a continued emphasis to get Cooper the ball and get him comfortable within the Buffalo offense.
