Seattle Seahawks NFL Week 3 Betting Lines

The Seattle Seahawks managed to get back on the horse in Week 2 by going into Detroit and scoring the 37-31 overtime win and cover as decided underdogs per the closing NFL odds. The end result finds the NFL betting market enamored with Pete Carroll’s squad in its second home game with linemakers finding it extremely tough to book much of any action on the visiting Carolina Panthers who’ve failed to impress in either of their first two games under the new regime. Both squads are dealing with bothersome injury concerns on both sides of the ball, so be sure to check injury reports leading up to kick-off to determine how to attack this game with your hard-earned money.

Seattle Seahawks Week 3 Matchup

On Sunday, September 24, 2023, the Seattle Seahawks will host the Carolina Panthers from Lumen Field in Seattle, WA. Kickoff time is set for 4:05 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS.The lookahead betting line opened with the Seahawks laying 4-points and the O/U set at 42.5. A week removed from wanting absolutely nothing to do with the Seahawks due to stinking up the joint in the home opener against the Rams, the NFL betting market can’t get enough of Seattle in Week 3 with it taking in a hefty 87 percent of the bets and 65 percent of the handle per early week wagering reports. The Seahawks have been a poor investment at home where they clock in 5-5 SU and 4-6 ATS the last ten times. It’s been even worse when favored with the team managing just four wins and three ticket cashes against the closing odds with the O/U split right down the middle as well (5-5). Perusal of the injury reports leading up to kick-off will be of utmost importance for all NFL bettors getting involved with this game. Carolina’s pass defense rates out amongst the best in the NFL (No. 4), but it could be without the services of CB Jaycee Horn after he sat last week’s game out against the Saints due to a hamstring injury. On the flipside, WR D.K. Metcalf was lifted from last week’s game due to a rib injury and is listed as day-to-day. If the passing attack isn’t at full strength, this could be the spot RB Kenneth Walker III explodes with the Panthers getting ripped for 132 rushing yards per game (No. 25) and 4.5 yards per carry (No. 21). That being said, make sure Seattle offensive linemen are back in the mix before attacking his player props.

Seattle Seahawks Week 2 Recap

Aided by a plethora of debilitating Lions injuries on both sides of the ball, the Seahawks pulled out another barnburner-esque type win in the Motor City to log their first triumph of the 2023-24 NFL betting season. This time it came in the form of an exciting overtime win that saw Pete Carroll’s squad battle back from multiple touchdown deficits to log the 37-31 outright win as 5-point underdogs per the closing NFL odds. The outcome proved to be one of many big wins for the online sportsbook with the Seahawks only taking in 35 percent of the bets and 34 percent of the money come the opening kick. Smith bounced back from a horrendous showing in the season opener against the Rams to throw for 328 yards and unblemished 2:0 TD/INT ratio which equated to a 116.3 QB rating. Though he only managed 43 yards on 17 overall totes of the rock, two of Walker III’s carries saw him hit pay dirt much to the pleasure of his player prop and fantasy supporters. Metcalf led the way in the receiving department by hauling in all six targets for a team-high 75 yards, but WR Tyler Lockett proved to be the standout performer with his second touchdown reception chiming in as the walk-off winner in overtime. The defense surrendered a healthy 418 yards to Jared Goff and Co., but alleviated that output by coming up with three turnovers and a pair of sacks. Pass defense continues to be an issue for DC Clint Hurtt with his men serving up a whopping 325 yards per game (No. 30)!
