The Saints Can Win If…

The Saints are trying to avoid an 0-3 start after a narrow 26-21 loss to San Francisco. Spencer Rattler delivered 207 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Alvin Kamara remains a dual threat with 99 rushing yards last week.

Defensively, Carl Granderson continues to pressure quarterbacks, adding two sacks against the 49ers. New Orleans needs a clean game offensively and a strong pass rush to upset Seattle. For deeper breakdowns on roster strengths and weaknesses, check the NFL teams hub.

The Seahawks Can Win If…

Seattle rebounded with a 31-17 win over Pittsburgh. Sam Darnold passed for 295 yards and two TDs, while Kenneth Walker III rushed for 105 yards. Their passing attack, led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, gives them elite weapons on the outside.

The Seahawks’ defense also showed its bite, forcing two turnovers against the Steelers. With Smith-Njigba already ranking near the top of the league in receiving, Seattle has the firepower and defense to cover as favorites. Learn more about Seattle’s season outlook in the NFL expert betting guide.

The Lean

Seattle is favored by 7.5, and my model projects a 24-14 Seahawks win. The Saints’ offense has sputtered late in games, while Seattle has the balance to keep extending drives. The recommendation: Seahawks -7.5.

Total is set at 41.5, and the projection calls for 38 points. With both defenses finding early rhythm, the under looks like the stronger play.
