Corey’s Free Pick
This interconference matchup has the potential to be one of the higher scoring matchups on the slate this weekend. Cincinnati capitalized on the matchup and found their stride offensively ast week, and they’ll surely be looking to build on that effort. Seattle comes in fresh off of a bye and three straight wins, and that momentum has a good chance of carrying over. I like Cincinnati pulling this one off at home, but the Over may just bring a bit more security here.
