By our analysis from the crew, the Seahawks are just 8-7-1 ATS on the season with a 9.1-point winning margin and a plus 3.2. This game is going to be cold. Really cold, looking at below 0 temp. The cold will make the ball harder to catch, players harder to tackle, and the ball harder to throw with a differential against the spread. Seattle running game will be a big factor in this match-up with winds predicted gusting to 20 mph ,also could impact with kicking game. Lets hope it does not snow///LOL !!!
Bridgewater was sacked four times and intercepted once while managing just 118 passing yards in last month's meeting with Seattle. Bridgewater completed 70.4 percent of his throws with six TD passes and zero interceptions over the last three games, but was held to 99 yards in last week's win. Bridgewater vs Wilson, there is no comparison, Wilson finished the year with the fourth-highest Total Quarterback Rating (74.9), turning in one of the finest seasons by a quarterback in NFL history. Vikings’ offensive line sucks. As a result, Teddy boy is pressured on nearly 50% of drop backs, the most in the NFL. Due to Vikings and their lack in pass protection, deep plays are not frequent plays for the Vikings’ offense. Seahawks are averaging 467 offensive yards vs 374 for the Vikings. Seattle won eight of its next 10 games and made the playoffs with a 10-6 record, finishing with a schedule-adjusted scoring margin of 11.3 points per game above average, its third best mark in franchise history. Doug Baldwin WR and Marshawn Lynch [in the running game] will be huge factor play to our expiration's for Seattle to win this one easily.
J.J. Bascus power rating has this match-up Seattle + 7, System Smitty Ryann Jr. predicted line spread at -6. Our pick +2 1/2 Seattle with a 7 point teaser bet [Mirage -4 1/2 Seattle & over and under at 40 ] tease to under 47. All the rest of the books in town have the game at -5. Line opened at -3 1/2. Odds makers predict this game 40 total for a low scoring game. We as crew predict this game in cold weather to be low scoring game too, but the tease from 40 to 47 on the under sounds more realistic to us. Seattle covering the teaser payout at 10/13. We are also hedging our teaser with a money line bet -$210 Seattle [ laying about 2-1] is a value bet for us also. Even if we lose our teaser bet with the under, we will be covering ourselves with our prediction win on the money line which is 3x the bet of our teaser.
Good luck on your picks and bets Rx members this week with your wildcard games. Have a great and safe New Year Season !!!!
