Bills vs. Seahawks Predictions For NFL Week 8, Sunday 10/27

Seeing that the Seahawks are a division leader may come as a surprise given that not only the San Francisco 49ers were favorites to win the NFC West, but the entire NFC! However, injuries have derailed their season, leading them to a losing record,

That means that Seattle is the only team in the entire division with a winning record of 4-3. Meanwhile, not only is the Bills 5-2 record the only winning one in the AFC East, but the next-best record is just 2-4! So, while both these teams may be division leaders, it’s difficult to call their situations equal.

The same can be said for the overall caliber of these squads; therefore, we aren’t surprised that Buffalo is listed as a road favorite. We’ll be focusing on that as part of our Bills vs. Seahawks picks, but we’ll take you through our full, somewhat unique approach coming up!

 

 

 

Buffalo Bills: Looking The Part

Before we get that far, why are we not surprised to see the Bills as road favorites? Some fans seem to forget that they were absolute world-beaters the first few weeks of the season thanks to the Baltimore Ravens beating them down in prime time.

However, they have since bounced back, evidenced by their 5-2 record, including a dominant 34-10 win in their most recent matchup. That said, they do still need to prove themselves true contenders, as they also narrowly pulled off back-to-back 23-20 wins prior to that. So, pulling off a win while across the country would be a big step in the right direction.
 

 

 

Seattle Seahawks: Who Are They Really?

Interestingly enough, the Ravens play a part in Seattle’s storyline, but from last year! Stick with us here - prior to their game against Baltimore, the Seahawks had a top-six run defense. Then, after allowing 294 rushing yards in a 37-3 loss to the Ravens, they went on to finish the season as the second-WORST run defense.

That’s exactly what they want to avoid this year after starting 3-0 and having gone 1-3 since then. That includes a bad 29-20 loss to the 2-5 New York Giants, who also same across the country to Seattle. Buffalo is a much tougher task, so an upset here could really uproot the NFC West.
 

 

 

Bills vs. Seahawks Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

With the way that we’re approaching our Bills vs. Seahawks picks, we used the latest Bills vs. Seahawks odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, which you can see below:

 

 

Bills vs. Seahawks Teaser: Buffalo +3 / Over 40.5 Points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

As you can see, our Bills vs. Seahawks predictions are focused on a teaser. This is a way of targeting multiple markets that you like while getting better lines for both of them. So, while both picks have to hit like a parlay, we’re getting much more favorable values.

Our Bills vs. Seahawks predictions are for a six-point teaser, so rather than Bills favored by three, they can even lose by three or less. Similarly, rather than needing there to be more than 46.5 points scored, we only need 41 or more points on the board.

Frankly, we like both lines as is, so we especially enjoy this approach. Perhaps the aspect that needs the least amount of convincing is a high-scoring game. After all, we've seen Buffalo eclipse this total themselves this season. Similarly, along with their 47-point performance, they’ve scored 31+ in four of their seven games this season.

After seeing Seattle allow 29 points to the Giants, we’re confident that the Bills can do that and then some. We also simply believe that Buffalo is the better team, so now getting them as underdogs is as valuable as it gets. So, if we somehow see a last-second field goal steal the win for Seattle, we’re still safe.

This has all been without mentioning that Buffalo also added a new weapon prior to last Sunday’s game - WR Amari Cooper. The former Cleveland Brown fit right in, catching a touchdown alongside his 66 receiving yards.

All being said, we love focusing our Bills vs. Seahawks predictions on a teaser of Buffalo +3 & over 40.5 points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
