Seattle Seahawks Odds

Seattle Seahawks Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

Remember all those iconic names from the Seahawks teams of the 2010s? Yeah, they’re all gone now. The last remnants of the glory years officially departed over the offseason, with Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos and Bobby Wagner getting released and subsequently signing with the rival Rams.

Ouch.

The drop-off at the quarterback position is probably the most substantial in the entire league, as the Seahawks turn to Geno Smith as their Opening Day starter. And if Smith falters in any way, Drew Lock, who was acquired in the Wilson trade, gets the reins. Needless to say, it’s not the most inspiring quarterback room.

It’s not all gloom in Seattle, however. DK Metcalf is still around, as he inked a big contract extension over the offseason. Props to him for securing the bag before trying to catch passes from the Smith/Lock QB combo.

With replacement-level quarterback play, you could squint and see an OK team here as Seattle still has strong players on both sides of the ball. The only problem is whether they get that from Smith and Lock is up in the air.

Betting on the Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks Point Spreads

Betting a Seahawks point spread is a wager based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Cardinals +2.5 (+110)
• Seahawks -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Cardinals are 2.5 point underdogs against the Seahawks. If Seattle wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Seahawks would come with a payout of $90.91. If Arizona won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Seattle Seahawks Totals aka Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Seahawks play the 49ers and the over/under is set at 47 points. A wager on the over would require Los Angeles and Arizona to score 48 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 46 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 47 points scored.

Seahawks Moneylines

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Seahawks -150
• Rams +220

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Seattle the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Seahawks odds would mean every $15 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Rams moneyline was set at +220, meaning a $10 wager would profit $22.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Seahawks moneyline and a -1.5 point spread, Seattle would need to win by two points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Seahawks fans can also take advantage of new bettor offers like the BetMGM Bonus, and should make sure to use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount accurately.

Seattle Seahawks Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• DK Metcalf receiving yards: 900.5

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether Metcalf goes over or under 900.5 receiving yards over the course of the regular season.

Seahawks Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way that both are monitored over the course of a season. Except most future bets are focused on end-of-season success. Examples of futures are:

• Seattle Seahawks odds to win the NFC West
• Seattle Seahawks odds to win the NFC
• Seattle Seahawks odds to win the Super Bowl
• DK Metcalf’s odds to win MVP
• Pete Carroll's odds to win Coach of the Year

If you’re thinking that Russell Wilson might go off for an entire season or that it is Seattle’s year to win it all, this is the place to be. For a full list of NFL futures, click or tap here.
