4 Hot Trends, Picks, and Over/Under for Seahawks-Bills Week 9

The Bills Have Lost Each of Their Last 4 Games ATS

This trend began with Buffalo’s 36-point Week 5 loss in Nashville. Buffalo then lost big as dogs against the Chiefs. The Bills could not cover the spread as favorites against both the Jets and Patriots their last 2 games.

Last week’s bout in Buffalo against New England was the Super Bowl for this Buffalo team. Bills Mafia has been yearning for a crack at Bill Belichick and the Patriots. The Bills realized that this is their year to win the division and got the job done with a gutsy, thrilling performance. Expect the Bills to come out flat against a Seahawks team that plays very well away from home.

The Seahawks are 7-1-1 ATS in Their Last 9 Games as Road Favorites

This trend extends back to September of 2019. Seattle is 2-1 both SU and ATS as road favorites this year.

Russell Wilson is playing the best football of his career right now and is the reason Seattle rarely has a misstep. Wilson doesn’t take plays or games off. He will have the Seahawks offense ready to fire on Sunday.

Seattle has beaten both Atlanta and Miami this season as home favorites but lost in the desert to the Cardinals in that thrilling week 7 overtime game.

Since the 2017 Season, the Seahawks are a Perfect 8-0 SU and 7-0-1 ATS When Traveling East as Road Favorites

This includes a perfect 2-0 record this season and a 5-0 record in 2019.

 

The last time the Seahawks failed to win as road favorites playing in the East was Week 14 of the 2016 season when the Seahawks lost by four touchdowns to the Green Bay packers. The Packers were 10-6 that season and would go on to win 2 playoff games.

The Over is 5-1-1 in 2020 Seahawks Games

The Seahawks are demolishing the Vegas totals this season – their games finishing an average of 9.6 points above.

Seattle’s game plan is to force the issue on both sides of the ball. The Seahawks rank highly in both takeaways per game on defense (1st in NFL) and passing yards per attempt on offense (3rd in NFL).

Seattle’s high-risk, high-reward style of football lends itself to exciting games with lots of action and scoring.

Driving this action offensively is MVP-frontrunner Russell Wilson. Wilson is having a phenomenal year – on pace to set career highs in completion percentage, passing yards, touchdowns, and passer rating.

Wilson will break Peyton Manning’s single-season passing touchdowns record set in 2013 if he keeps this pace. Manning threw 55 passing touchdowns that year. Wilson is on pace for 59.

In sports betting, it is better to favor whichever side owns the more explosive units or the most game-breaking players. Both Seattle’s offense and defense are capable of swinging the game more than the Bills’ units, and Russell Wilson will be the best player on the field.

The Bills will have a difficult time keeping pace with Seattle, especially coming off an emotional win.

I like Seattle (-3) to book a comfortable win on the spread. I see the Seahawks scoring a lot of points and the Bills adding a few scores in garbage time. The over looks good at 55 here.
