Baltimore blew the doors off of Detroit two games ago, but struggled to put Arizona away last week. Seattle had a nice comeback win at home against Cleveland in their last game, but they didn’t play great against PJ Walker and the Browns. The Seahawks typically play well when they go to the East Coast and this is a good amount of points to give to a solid team. Take the Seahawks to keep this game close.
