The Seahawks are pegged as 6.5-point favourites as they face the Las Vegas Raiders, with the game total set at 40.5.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks are set to play the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon, and the latest betting lines have Seattle installed as a large road favourite.
The spread has the Seahawks at -6.5 (-110) with Las Vegas at +6.5 (-110). The moneyline lists Seattle at -285 and the Raiders at +230, while the total is set at 40.5 (Over -110/Under -110).
According to the line movement described in the betting information, the Seahawks’ spread grew from -3 to -6.5, and the total dropped from 43.5 to 40.5. The change was linked to the Raiders trading for Kirk Cousins, according to the same account.
Seattle enters the matchup after losing its last road game in Denver on Oct. 15. The Seahawks then won two of three at home against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Raiders, with a loss to the Chicago Bears in between.
Las Vegas, meanwhile, started the season 3-0 before dropping four straight. The Raiders then picked up an upset win over the New York Jets on the road, but they followed that with a loss by 21 points to the San Francisco 49ers.
The betting material also points to injuries and team performance metrics. It says Sam Darnold is out with an injury for Seattle, and it describes the Seahawks’ offence as ranking 26th in EPA per play and 28th in success rate.
On defence, the same information describes Seattle as one of the best units in the league, allowing 4.1 yards per play, the lowest mark among NFL defences by 0.6. It also describes the Raiders as having the worst defence in the NFL, ranking last in both EPA per play and success rate.
One betting lean included in the information calls for the UNDER, while another view prefers laying the points with the Seahawks at -6.5. That second view projects a final score of Seahawks 30, Raiders 13.
