Seattle Seahawks NFL Week 5 Betting Lines

Matchups against Denver, New England, and Miami ultimately didn’t have the Seattle Seahawks ready for what they were to encounter under the Monday night lights against a motivated pride of Detroit Lions. It also didn’t help that a number of defensive playmakers were forced to miss the game due to injury, but it’s anyone’s guess as to how effective Seattle’s defense would’ve even been as locked in Jared Goff and Co. were right from the jump. When the dust settled on the tough to stomach 42-29 defeat for NFL bettors that took the 4-points with the visitors, Seattle actually won the yardage battle 516-389, but failed to make it count after losing the turnover battle 2-0 and the defense allowing the Lions to efficiently and effectively move the ball by land or by air. The injury-riddled secondary allowed Goff to complete all 18 of his attempted passes for crying out loud! It also allowed Detroit to cash in on all five red zone appearances. You’re not winning many games in this day and age of the NFL putting forth outputs like that on the defensive side of the ball. Geno Smith and his mates have no choice now but to look to regroup back home in Week 5 betting when it welcomes in the New York Giants who could possibly be without their best offensive weapon.

No longer among the ranks of the unbeaten, the Seahawks’ futures odds markets got a bit longer upon rerelease this week. It’s odds of winning the Super Bowl changed slightly from +3652 to +3685, while its odds of representing the NFC in LIX have shifted from +1452 to +1600. Seattle’s odds of taking home NFC West bragging rights actually moved to +180 from +190, while its adjusted in-season win total odds remained 9.5 with heavier juice on the under after entering the year 7.5. The team’s odds of heading back to the playoffs off a year hiatus have changed dramatically. The “No” was originally lined -210 but can now be had at a +110 return on investment with the “Yes” now lined the -135 favorite.

Seattle Seahawks Week 5 Matchup

On Sunday, October 6, 2024, the Seattle Seahawks will take on the New York Giants from Lumen Field in Seattle, WA. Kickoff time is set for 4:25 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The NFL Week 5 betting lines hit the board with the Seahawks favored by 6.5-points and the Over/Under (O/U) lined 42. An interesting case of reverse line movement has hit this matchup when taking a gander at the action reports from the online sportsbook. Though Seattle has been pounded with 80 percent of the bets and over 90 percent of the money by clients betting on the NFL with crypto, the betting line has moved away from the home team by a half-point down to 6. The Seahawks already failed to cover as 6.5-point home favorites against Denver in Week 1 moving them to 6-4 SU and 3-7 against the NFL spread the last 10 times they were asked to lay six or more points at home. The over cashed in five of the last six instances with an average of 53.8 points denting the board. With that, it comes with little surprise to see total bettors hammering the over with upwards of 90 percent of the tickets and handle pushing the O/U up to 44.

Seattle Seahawks Week 4 Recap

The Seattle Seahawks suffered their first NFL odds loss of the season to close out Week 4 betting, falling 42-29 to the Detroit Lions, as Jared Goff delivered a flawless performance, setting an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes. The Seahawks’ injury-depleted defense struggled to contain Detroit’s dynamic offense, both on the ground and through the air. Goff's precision and playmaking, including two touchdown passes and a trick-play touchdown reception, overwhelmed the Seahawks’ defense, which was missing key players like Uchenna Nwosu, Leonard Williams, and Jerome Baker. Seattle’s offense, led by Geno Smith, showed resilience, with Smith throwing for 395 yards and a touchdown. However, missed opportunities and costly errors, such as DK Metcalf's fumble and an end-zone interception by Smith, hindered their comeback efforts. Kenneth Walker shined in his return to the huddle with three rushing touchdowns, and rookie tight end AJ Barner contributed a score, but the Seahawks couldn’t recover from the numerous defensive breakdowns. The Seahawks’ defense allowed 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Jahmyr Gibbs, while Goff’s chemistry with Amon-Ra St. Brown, who caught a touchdown and threw another, proved too much. Despite late-game chances, Seattle’s offensive execution faltered in key moments, leading to their first setback of the season under Mike Macdonald’s watch.

2024 Seattle Seahawks Schedule, Results & Record

The Seattle Seahawks were established in 1974 when the NFL awarded an expansion franchise to the city of Seattle. The team's name was selected through a public contest, with "Seahawks" being the winning choice. The franchise officially joined the NFL in 1976 as part of the league's expansion efforts, playing their home games at the Kingdome. Initially placed in the NFC West, the Seahawks switched to the AFC West the following year as part of the NFL's realignment. Early years saw mixed results, but the Seahawks quickly garnered a passionate fan base, famously known as the "12th Man" for their enthusiastic support.

From 1999 through 2008, Mike Holmgren made the Seahawks a serious contender and NFC champion in 2005. Pete Carroll, hired as the head coach of the Seahawks in 2010, brought a new energy and vision to the team. His partnership with rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, drafted in 2012, marked the beginning of a highly successful era. Carroll's coaching philosophy, emphasizing competition and a strong defense, meshed perfectly with Wilson's dynamic playmaking abilities. Together, they led the Seahawks to two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XLVIII in a dominant 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos. Under Carroll and Wilson, the Seahawks consistently made the playoffs and became one of the NFL's premier franchises during their time together. Since 2003, Seattle has missed the playoffs only six times.
