NFL Odds: Top 5 Seattle Seahawks Locks Of 2017 Season
The Seattle Seahawks are 12/1 choices to win Super Bowl LII. But which five of their regular season games are straight-up locks?
Top 5 Easiest Seattle Seahawks Games of 2017
The over/under for Seattle Seahawks wins in 2017 is 10.5 according to the WestGate Las Vegas Superbook. And the game-by-game spreads from CG Technology show 5 easy wins out there for a team listed as a 6/1 favorite to win the NFC.
(Week 17 is excluded, too, because of high variance caused by potential playoff seeding, quarterbacks sitting out the final week or playing partial games, etc.)
There are few bigger blowout potentials than Seattle’s Week 15 and Week 2 games. In Week 15, the Seahawks are a 13 1/2-point favorite over the visiting Los Angeles Rams. In Week 2, the Seahawks are 13-point favorites over the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle is an 8-point pick over visiting Washington in Week 8, and a 7 1/2-point favorite over visiting Houston in Week 8. And visiting Indianapolis is getting 7 from Seattle in Week 4.
Potential Seattle Seahawks Losses in 2017
Seattle is a straight-up underdog in two weeks of 2017 — a 3-point dog on the road at Green Bay in Week 1 and a 3-point dog on the road at Dallas in Week 16.
The Sewhawks are getting just 2 points on the road at Tennessee in Week 3. A Thursday night trip to Arizona in Week 10 has Seattle as just a 1 1/2-point favorite. And Seattle’s Week 7 trip to the New York Giants is currently a pick-’em.
Seattle Seahawks Prediction
Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Seattle’s Legion of Boom defense is among the most dominant in the NFL. Even when the Seahawks struggle on offense, their defensive unit keeps them in every game. Look for the Seattle to win fewer than 10.5 games, yet make the NFC playoffs.
