Seahawks +6.5'available at time of publishing.'Playable at that number.
I understand this is a revenge spot for Russell Wilson as he now leads the Broncos, but I think this number has gotten far ahead of itself. I have this spread more like Denver -5.5, so there is a good amount of value around the key number of 6. If you can buy it for -125 or less at +7, I would do that.
It is challenging to assume that a team will be clicking on all cylinders immediately with a new QB coming into a new system after 10 years in Seattle with a brand-new head coach, OC and offensive weapons. There is inevitably going to be some rust, and considering that Wilson didn't take a single snap in the preseason, I’m not expecting the smoothest start to the game. Add in the fact that the Seattle coaching staff knows every weakness of Russ and is best prepared to slow him down, and I think Seattle has a shot to keep this competitive.
It may take some time for the Denver offense to put together long drives, but eventually, they will. This Seattle defense is weak at pass rush and the CB spot, but again the schematic advantage they will have over Wilson should help keep things in check.
