Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants (-10), Total 43.5 |
Seattle is one of the worst road teams in the NFL and has already dropped both games away from the Pacific Northwest this season, falling 33-17 to the San Francisco 49ers and 24-0 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The last time the Seahawks made a visit to New Jersey, the team walked away with a 44-6 defeat. Oddsmakers are expecting the same type of result this week due to playing a team that has won three consecutive games.
“They look great, they’re on fire, they’re rolling right now, three straight wins and all,” commented Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
Offensively, the team is averaging just 14.5 points a game, which is good for 29th in the NFL. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson led a spirited comeback that fell just short in scoring 21 points in a 30-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons as six-point home underdogs a week ago.
Sportsbooks bettors will find that the Seahawks are 0-4 ATS as a road underdog of 7.5 to 10 points, while the ‘over’ is 4-0 in those contests.
New York completed its comeback in a 31-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals as one-point road favorites, which came just a week after handing the Philadelphia Eagles a 29-16 home loss.
The Giants are 3-1 on the season despite being out-gained in all four games this season, but all that matters is ending up with the most points at the end of the game.
Ravaged by early season injuries, New York has relied on players to step it up, including Victor Cruz, who has nine catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games.
Quarterback Eli Manning has stopped throwing the ball to the other team, throwing 90 consecutive passes without an interception, which is a breath of fresh air from a career-high 25 picks he tossed a year ago.
When making your NFL picks this weekend, take into account New York’s 1-4 ATS mark as a home favorite of 7.5 to 10 points, while the ‘over’ is 3-2 in that situation.
