Seahawks vs. Chargers Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 7
Many people believed the Seattle Seahawks would be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, but here we are heading into Week 7, and they're sitting with a respectable record of 3-3.
In Week 7, they'll head down South to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers, who will be coming off a short week after an overtime win against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
Let's dive into the latest odds for the game, and then I'll give you my best bet.

Seahawks vs. Chargers Prediction and Pick
My strategy in Seahawks games over the past few weeks has been to bet the OVER, and despite a low-scoring affair against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, I'm not going to stray from that strategy. The Seahawks rank 30th in opponent yards per play, and the Chargers defense isn't much better, ranking 25th.
Seattle also ranks 30th in opponent yards per pass attempt, allowing 7.8 yards per throw. That should work out well for the Chargers offense, as 74.7% of the offensive yards they gain, comes through the air. That's the fifth highest rate in the NFL.
Alternatively, the Seahawks have emerged as one of the top running teams in the league. They're fourth in yards per carry, averaging 5.3 yards per rush, and now they get to face the second worst run defense in the NFL. Los Angeles allows 5.6 yards per carry, with the Giants coming in as the only team that ranks lower.
I think both offenses will match up well with the opposing defenses, so I'll gladly back the OVER in this one.
