Seattle Seahawks Key Players

While there was a sizeable turnover on the Seahawks roster this offseason, the team still has plenty of exciting stars. Wide receivers Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf are expected to be significant targets for Geno Smith. Lockett had 1,175 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 2021, while Metcalf had 967 yards and twelve touchdowns. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks remains the top defensive threat for the Seahawks, as he had 184 total tackles in 2021.

Betting on the Seattle Seahawks

There are plenty of betting markets available on the Seattle Seahawks. Here are some of the most popular:

Moneyline

A moneyline wager is a bet on the Seahawks to win a game outright. The moneyline odds will vary by game. For example, the Seahawks had odds of 2.50 to defeat the Los Angeles Rams on October 7 last season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks had odds of 1.59 against Chicago on December 26, as the Seahawks were the favorite for that game.

Spread (Handicap Betting)

Spread bets are wagers where you will bet on a result based on a point spread. You can bet on the favorite to win by a minimum amount, or you can bet on the underdog to win or lose by less than the spread.

An example involves the Seahawks' first game of 2021 against Indianapolis. The Seahawks were -3 favorites, meaning you could bet on the Seahawks to win by more than 3 points or the Colts to win or to lose by 1 or 2 points. A wager where the Seahawks won by exactly 3 points would be a push.

You can also place an alternate spread bet where the line is slightly adjusted. For the above example, the Seahawks might have had a 1.87 line for a -3 bet. However, a line of -3.5 would turn the wager into a 2.05 bet. You could have also chosen a -5.5 line for the Seahawks at 2.50 or a +1.5 line at 1.50.

Total

A total bet or over/under wager is where you'll bet on how many points the two teams will score during the game.

For example, the Seahawks had a 43 total wager in their game against Pittsburgh in 2021. You could bet on the two teams to score 44 or more points, or you could go with a bet where they score 42 or fewer points. The Seahawks lost 23-20, meaning the event was a push because the total score was 43.

Alternate totals are also available for games. Whereas a 43 total on the above example would have had a 1.91 line, you could also adjust the total to 40 with a 1.59 line for the over or 2.40 to go under.

Prop Wagers

You can also place prop wagers on various things throughout the game. These include events involving the entire team or individual Seahawks players. Some of these props include:

• How many passing touchdowns the quarterback will throw
• Over/unders on passing, receiving, and rushing yards for individual players
• How many touchdowns the team will score
• Over/under on how many sacks the team will complete
• The number of field goals the team will kick
