The'Seattle Seahawks (2-2) visit the struggling New Orleans Saints (1-3) Sunday in a Week 5 NFL matchup. Kickoff from Caesars Superdome is slated for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Seahawks look to continue their surprisingly strong start to the season. While 2-2 isn’t a record that I would brag about, for a Seahawks team that lost future hall-of-fame QB Russell Wilson in the offseason, and was expected by many to be a bottom-3 team in the league, that 2-2 record is impressive.
Seattle started its season off strong with a big win at home vs.Wilson and the Denver Broncos (17-16). It then took 2 tough losses — at the San Francisco 49ers (27-7) and vs. the Atlanta Falcons (27-23) — before picking up a win in a high-scoring affair at the Detroit Lions (48-45) in Week 4.
The Saints will look to get their season on track after an underwhelming start. With new additions in skill positions both on the offense and defense this team was expected to be a playoff contender, but they have yet to live up to those expectations.
