Point Spread: 3.00 | -110.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Loss
#257 ASA FREE PLAY ON Seattle Seahawks +3 over Cincinnati Bengals, Saturday at 1 PM ET - We played against Cincy last week and lost as they topped Arizona 34-20 as 3 point favorites. We’re still not convinced this team is back on track. One of their TD’s was a pick 6 late in the first half which gave them the lead heading into halftime when it looked like they would be trailing 14-10. The offense averaged only 4.8 YPP vs the Cards last week (Arizona averaged 5.2 YPP) but because of Arizona’s 3 turnovers the Bengals ran 76 plays compared to just 54 for the Cardinals. The Bengals were whipped in the trenches in that game allowing 6.5 YPC while Arizona gave up only 3.1 YPC. QB Burrow looked more healthy than he has been but still not 100%. Their offense is still a big time concern averaging only 4.2 YPP (32nd) and scoring only 16.6 PPG. While Cincy was playing back to back road games @ Tennessee and @ Arizona the last 2 weeks, Seattle was resting on their bye week. They were able to start getting healthy, especially on the offensive line, where LT Cross returns after missing 3 games along with RG Haynes. Seattle has won both of their road games this season @ Detroit and @ NYG and they currently rank 5th in the NFL in YPP differential at +0.75. The Bengals rank 32nd in YPP differential at -1.5 ahead of only the Giants. DVOA has Seattle ranked as the 8th best team in the NFL while the Bengals come in at 24th. The Hawks are 2nd in the NFL in sacks per game and top 8 in sack percentage so they should be able to put pressure on a still gimpy Joe Burrow. We like a rested and more healthy Seattle to have a great shot to win on the road. Take the points.
