Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
This is the Monday night game?!
Russell Wilson returns to Seattle, and that’s literally the only thing that excites me about this game. That said, I am interested to see how Pete Carroll defends Wilson because no organization knows his tendencies better.
Denver opened -3.5 several months ago, and that line is getting closer and closer to Broncos -7. The Seahawks are starting two rookies at offensive tackle, which could be a disaster against a stingy Broncos defense. One thing is for sure, every sportsbook will be rooting for a Seahawks cover by the time the game kicks off.
If you’re looking for fireworks, you’re in the wrong place.
