Take #110 Seahawks vs Broncos Under
Seattle heads into Denver looking to bounce back from a turnover-filled loss to San Francisco, but this Thursday night matchup sets up as a defensive battle. Both teams enter at 3-2, and Seattle's defense has been one of the league's most effective units, ranking second in the NFL in EPA per play allowed. Against a Denver offense ranked 24th in offensive EPA per play, the Seahawks have the potential to make scoring difficult throughout the contest.
Denver's offensive inconsistency is a major factor supporting the under. Despite rallying for a comeback victory against the Chargers, the Broncos struggled to generate consistent production for much of that game. Their offense benefited from defensive takeaways before finding momentum late, and replicating that success against a Seattle defense capable of applying pressure and disrupting passing lanes could be a challenge.
The short week also creates concerns for Denver's offensive rhythm. Seattle has the defensive personnel to pressure the quarterback, force difficult decisions, and limit explosive plays. If the Seahawks can keep Denver behind the chains and prevent sustained drives, the Broncos could have trouble putting points on the board. Seattle's own turnover issues last week are another reason to expect a more conservative approach as the team looks to clean up mistakes.
While Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been outstanding, with 603 receiving yards and seven touchdowns through five weeks, Denver's defensive injuries could influence how Seattle attacks this matchup. Even if the Seahawks find success through the air, a strong defensive performance and limited scoring opportunities from Denver could help keep the total in check. On a short week, offensive consistency may be harder to come by for both teams.
With Seattle's defensive strength, Denver's offensive struggles, and the potential for a tightly contested Thursday night game, the under offers an appealing angle. Expect the Seahawks to focus on correcting their mistakes while making life difficult for Denver's offense, creating a game where every possession matters.
