Chiefs vs Seahawks Prediction
In this Chiefs vs Seahawks Prediction, the Seahawks are coming as -2.5 home favorites. The Chiefs have been undefeated this season but they have been banged up and entering this game as +2.5 road dogs. The Chiefs are a top-5 team in football both offensively and defensively but the Seahawks also have the 7th-best defense in the league, as both teams allow just 36.9 points per game combined this season. Given the fact that the offensive line of the Chiefs is stripped of its depth, I will not pick a side and expect a low-scoring affair today. Both teams are coming off very low-scoring games, with 28 and 31 total points, so take the under 42.5 points in this one.
