Seahawks vs Broncos Prediction
Seattle comes into this matchup after losing two of their last three games and they have allowed 32 and 33 points in those two losses. Denver has won three of their last four games, but the offense really struggled last week against LA. The Broncos have allowed 24+ points in three of their five games and they could struggle again this week, as Seattle as scored 29+ points in four straight games. I know Nix has started slow, but this Seattle defense is not good right now. Take the over here.
