The Seattle Seahawks (7-7) head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Eve to face the Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) in Week 16. Saturday’s kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Seahawks vs. Chiefs odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
After starting the season 6-3, the Seahawks have lost 4 of their last 5 games to fall to .500. Their latest loss came against a division rival — a 21-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers as 3-point underdogs. Seattle has failed to cover the spread in its last 5 matchups.
Part of the Seahawks’ struggles this season has been due to its defense, which has allowed 25.4 points per game, the 4th most in the NFL. Seattle’s offense has scored the same amount of points per game this season (25.4, 7th best in NFL) but will miss their top WR Tyler Lockett (78 receptions, 964 yards, 8 TDs) against the Chiefs due to a broken bone in his hand.
The Chiefs have won 2 in a row, but won by only 6 points (30-24) in overtime as 14.5-point favorites against the Houston Texans last week. The Chiefs have covered the spread just 3 times this season, though all 3 covers came against NFC opponents (Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 49ers). The Chiefs have not covered a spread above 6 points this season.
