The current betting line has Seattle as a 3-point favorite, often listed at Seahawks -3 or -3.5 depending on the book. The total is trending around 47.5 points, up slightly from an opener near 46. Initially, books opened Seattle at -3; early money has pushed that to -3.5 in some sportsbooks. Public action leans heavily toward Seattle, particularly from bettors valuing defensive matchups and home road splits—Washington is vulnerable on the road and Seattle has shown consistency. Tight spreads suggest this is viewed as more than just steam; injuries are driving perception: Washington missing McLaurin and possibly limited at left tackle with Tunsil reduces their offensive upside. A big move would be if Texas players jump in or if betting opens on Washington with sharper insights into Seattle’s injury concerns (e.g., Kupp, Love). Overall, this feels like a spot where betting Seattle comes with value if you trust their defensive corps and believe Washington’s backups can’t sustain explosive offensive sequences.
