The Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints will go to battle in Week 4.

Not many people would have expected the Seahawks to enter this matchup with the better record, but at 2-2, Seattle is a game ahead of New Orleans, who is coming off a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.

Let's take a look at the latest odds for the game, as well as my best bet, for this NFC showdown.

Seahawks vs. Saints Odds, Spread, and Total

Seahawks vs. Saints Betting Trends

  • The UNDER is 10-5 in the Seahawks' last 15 road games
  • Seahawks are 5-3 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs
  • Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games played in October
  • The UNDER is 8-3 in the Saints last 11 games

Seahawks vs. Saints Prediction and Pick

The Saints are only averaging 19.0 points per game this season, but there are some signs that point towards their offense gaining some momentum in the coming weeks. For example, they rank eighth in the NFL in yards per play, gaining 6.0 yards per snap. They also rank third in red zone touchdown scoring percentage, scoring six points in 75% of their red zone possessions.

Then you have the Seahawks, who are an OVER bettors dream. They rank third in the NFL in yards per play at 6.3, but dead last in opponent yards per play at 6.7.

At the end of the day, this is a game between two offenses who rank in the top eight of the NFL in yards per play, but yet we have a total that's set in the mid 40's. I love the OVER in this game.
