Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos Predictions

Denver’s secondary faces key injury questions

Seattle is a 2.5-point road favorite with a -142 moneyline, while Denver is +120. The clearest matchup concern favors the Seahawks: the Denver Broncos reported that cornerback Pat Surtain II and safety Talanoa Hufanga were estimated nonparticipants Tuesday for the second consecutive day. Cornerback Riley Moss was estimated limited for a second straight day.

Those absences could weaken Denver’s secondary, but final game designations aren’t available in the supplied evidence. That uncertainty makes it difficult to determine whether Seattle’s potential matchup advantage justifies the moneyline price.

Seattle also has unresolved availability

The Seattle Seahawks listed wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, quarterback Drew Lock, running back Zach Charbonnet and defensive tackle Leonard Williams as estimated limited participants Tuesday. Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet was unlikely to return this week, although that could change. Linebackers Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt were estimated nonparticipants.

No records, recent results, season statistics or confirmed starters are available to establish a separate football edge. Seattle is the likely winner because the SPF market favors it, but that alone isn’t a sound reason to lay -142 on the road.

Betting assessment

The 50-50 public split is a default figure, so it provides no betting signal. The total is 40.5, with the over at -112 and the under at -108, but the available evidence doesn’t support either side. Pass on the spread, moneyline and total.
