Seattle Seahawks NFL Week 13 Odds
The Seattle Seahawks are holding on to first place in the NFC West. They will get a little bit of breathing room this week when the Rams take on the Cardinals, and they could pick up a two-game lead with a win over the New York Giants. Seattle is expected to be a big favorite per the NFL betting odds, as Daniel Jones will miss this game with a strained hamstring.

Seattle Seahawks Week 13 Matchup
The Giants will turn to Colt McCoy with Jones sidelined. He completed 6 of 10 passes for 31 yards last week against Cincinnati, but he hasn’t played much over the last six years. McCoy has thrown a total of 102 passes since 2014, and his performance hasn’t inspired much confidence. In his career, McCoy has completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 6.6 YPA with 29 touchdowns and 27 interceptions.
Jones was the Giants’ leading rusher, so the ground game will have to get it done in a more traditional manner this week. Wayne Gallman has run well with 4.0 YPC and six touchdowns on the season, and he has been the most reliable running back by a considerable margin.
We have seen Darius Slayton emerge as a decent No. 1 receiver in this offense with 38 receptions for 584 yards and three touchdowns. Tight end Evan Engram is playing well when healthy, and Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate are healthy once more too.
Seattle’s run defense has been one of the best units in the NFL. The Seahawks are allowing just 3.7 YPC and 89.3 YPG on the ground. Poona Ford and Jarran Reed do an excellent job stuffing the run, but the secondary is another story. Seattle has considerably improved in this area over the last two weeks, yet they still rank dead last in the NFL, allowing 328.8 YPG through the air.
That has led to Russell Wilson responding in kind. Wilson is completing 70.7 percent of his passes for over 3,200 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on the year. He posted dizzying numbers through Seattle’s first six games, but his pace has slowed down some as the season has gone on.
D.K. Metcalf leads the NFL in receiving through 11 games. Metcalf has 58 receptions for 1,039 yards and nine touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the league’s best. Tyler Lockett is no slouch with 70 receptions for 771 yards and eight TDs, and these two receivers dwarf the stats of every other receiver on the roster.
The Giants have been much better than anyone thinks on defense. They rank in the top ten in both scoring defense and total defense, and that’s why this team is tied for the division lead with Washington at 4-7. Big Blue can stuff the run and make teams one-dimensional on offense.
Seattle Seahawks Week 12 Recap
Bettors who wagered on Seattle in the hours leading up to kickoff of the team’s Monday night game with Philadelphia received one of the most brutal bad beats ever. The Seahawks were in front of the number for most of the second half, but the Eagles scored a touchdown on a Hail Mary with 12 seconds remaining to pull within eight points. Rather than kick the extra point like almost every other team would do in that situation, the Eagles went for two points and converted it to lose 23-17 and turn every Seattle -6 or -6.5 ticket into a push or a loser.
Wilson had a nice day through the air, completing 22 of 31 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown. Metcalf shined with 10 receptions for 177 yards on 13 targets, but no one else saw much action for the Seahawks in the passing game. The ground game sputtered, averaging just 2.5 YPC, even with Chris Carson back in the lineup.
Carson Wentz couldn’t do anything against Seattle’s maligned secondary, averaging just 4.8 YPA. Philadelphia’s running backs combined to run the ball nine times for 28 yards, as the Eagles ended the day with just 250 yards of offense. The Seahawks had six sacks to help stop the Eagles.
