Saints vs Seahawks Prediction
In their most recent meeting back in 2022, New Orleans won 39-32 at home, covering the spread. The Saints have their last four meetings against the Seahawks, but both teams are tied 3-3 wins in their last 6 meetings in Seattle. Under is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Saints vs Seahawks Prediction, the Seahawks are coming as -7.5-point home favorites, with the total set at 41.5 points. The Saints are looking terrible so far, having lost and failed to cover both of their games, losing by an average of 6 points per game. On the flip side, Seattle bounced back after a defeat in their season opener, and are looking for their first home win this season. They have the 7th-best defense in the league, and I don’t think they will have a problem against a struggling Saints squad. Take the Seattle Seahawks and lay the -7.5 points at home.
