Broncos vs Seahawks Prediction
This line is rather surprising, as you wouldn’t expect the Broncos to be a home dog on a short week. The Broncos have been one of the best regular-season teams since last year. The Seahawks are a balanced team that just won the Super Bowl, but they also just lost at home to the 49ers as a decent-sized favorite, barely beat the Chargers, and lost to the Commanders, who had a backup quarterback. It’s been a spotty start to the season for the Seahawks.
The Broncos still have to come together offensively, but the defense is there, and it’s not an easy place to play. The Broncos are more than capable of winning this game outright. Give me the points with the home team.
