Seattle enters the matchup leading the NFL in total defense and fifth in scoring defense as Las Vegas hosts rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza for his first NFL start.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks will visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday for a Week 10 matchup at Allegiant Stadium, with kickoff set for 4:05 p.m. ET.
Fernando Mendoza, a Heisman Trophy winner and the 2026 No. 1 overall pick, is set to make his first NFL start as the Raiders host Seattle.
The Seahawks are trading as the heavier favourite in prediction-market odds, with Seattle at 72% and Las Vegas at 28%.
Seattle is also listed at 51% to win by more than 6.5 points, while Las Vegas is at 50% for a margin of 6.5 points or fewer.
On the points market, both sides are shown trading at 50% for more than 40.5 total points and 50% for 40.5 or fewer.
Seattle’s defensive profile is a key factor in the betting numbers. The Seahawks lead the NFL in total defense at 244.2 yards per game and rank fifth in scoring defense, allowing 18 points per game.
Las Vegas, meanwhile, is bringing a tougher matchup on defence into the game, having allowed 385.4 yards per game and 29.8 points per game this season.
The Raiders are also dealing with quarterback and personnel changes. Drew Lock is expected to start in place of Sam Darnold, and star offensive lineman Quenton Nelson is hurt.
The Seahawks are described as a particularly difficult assignment for a rookie making his first start, with Las Vegas’s season record listed at 5-4 and Seattle identified as the reigning Super Bowl champion in the lead-up to Sunday’s game.
