Seattle Seahawks vs. Cincinnati Bengals Analysis
Seattle Seahawks Performance Recap and Analysis
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith continues to be underrated but puts up solid NFL player stats each weekend. Smith has thrown for 846 yards and five touchdowns through four games, and he does a great job of taking care of the football.
Seattle has allowed nearly 400 yards of total offense per game, and that is something that needs to improve as the year moves along.
Key Injuries
Since the Seahawks are coming off of a bye week, their NFL injury report is clean at this time. That could always change in the days leading up to the actual game.
Betting Trends to Know
- The Seattle Seahawks are 3-1 ATS the spread this season, with all of those covers coming in games that they won.
- That also means that the Seahawks have covered three straight, just like their overall winning record.
Cincinnati Bengals Performance Recap and Analysis
The Cincinnati Bengals are averaging just 283 yards of total offense per game, but they got off to a miserable start. Running the football continues to be a problem for the Bengals, as they are rushing for less than 75 yards per game.
This defense does have the ability to be dominant, and that is going to be a major key moving forward, and in this game.
Key Injuries
The Cincinnati Bengals injury report does list wide receiver Tee Higgins, and that would be a huge blow if he was unable to play. That’s really the only major loss that the Bengals would have.
Betting Trends to Know
- The Cincinnati Bengals are 1-3-1 against the spread this season, but they typically cover or push when they win.
- Cincinnati did just cover in their most recent win with a 14-point victory.
Seahawks vs. Bengals Betting Picks
There will be plenty of things to look at with this Seattle Seahawks game today, but focusing on the Bengals is the right play this weekend.
- Moneyline (Bengals -145): Betting the Bengals on the moneyline at -145 is the way to go in this matchup, as they get the job done at home.
- Over/Under (Under 46.0): Even though both teams can really score, going with the under is the best bet to make on Sunday in Week 6.
- Spread (Bengals -2.5): Covering 2.5 points means that a field goal gets that done, and the Bengals are good enough to win this game by at least three points.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Cincinnati Bengals Prediction
While there might be a handful of Seahawks vs Bengals betting picks to make, betting against the spread is always going to be the best overall option. Seattle has kept pace in the NFL standings in the NFC West Division so far, but that’s still a team with some flaws.
Look for Joe Burrow to improve his NFL MVP odds with another great performance in this game, as he will lead that offense. Cincinnati is going to win and cover the spread in this game against the Seahawks.
