The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off on Sunday in a key NFL showdown at Allianz Arena in Germany. In 2019, it was Seattle that secured the 40-34 victory.
Seattle comes into this game with a 6-3 record overall, and they have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. In the last game against the Arizona Cardinals, the offense continued to be strong, scoring 31 points. Geno Smith is having a big season and in the last game, he completed 26 of his 34 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Kenneth Walker III is also having a strong season, and he rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle is averaging 26.8 points, while their defense is giving up 24.4 points per game. The defense isn’t great, but the offense is ranked 4th in the league. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is dealing with a groin injury, and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to play in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Buccaneers, who sit with a 4-5 record overall, and they have been even worse against the spread, going 2-6-1. In the last game against the Rams, the defense was good, and that allowed them to secure the 16-13 victory. Quarterback Tom Brady completed 36 of his 58 passes for 280 yards and one touchdown. The running game wasn’t great in the last game, and the top rusher was Rachaad White, who only had 27 yards. Tampa Bay is averaging 18 points, while their defense is giving up 18.2 points per game. The defense is ranked 5th.
The Seahawks are 4-0 in their last four games overall. Tampa Bay is 0-6-1 against the spread in their last seven games overall. The under is 6-1 in the Seahawks' last even games in November.
The Seahawks' offense is averaging 26. 8 points per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score in this game. Geno Smith threw for two touchdowns in the last game, and he will throw for at least that here. I don’t trust Tom Brady, and the Seahawks are going to score enough to get the job done here. Back the Seahawks on the money line.
