- Seattle Seahawks are 2.5-point road favorites over the Denver Broncos with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Empower Field at Mile High, with the money line at Seattle -142 and the total sitting at 40.5.
- Emory Hunt is leaning Over 41.5 combined points; the Over has hit in five of the last seven Seahawks-Broncos head-to-head meetings and in each of Seattle's last three games this season.
- Sam Darnold has completed 64.3% of his passes for 755 yards and seven touchdowns against five interceptions this season, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba pacing receivers on 37 catches for 583 yards and seven TDs — though Smith-Njigba was limited in Tuesday's practice with an ankle injury.
- Bo Nix enters at 942 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions on 59.9% accuracy, while rookie running back R.J. Harvey leads Denver with 20 receptions on 22 targets for 132 yards.
- Both clubs are 3-2: Denver sits second in the AFC West behind unbeaten Kansas City, and the defending-champion Seahawks come off a 32-29 loss to San Francisco and have outscored opponents 134-105 on the year.
- Hunt is 132-111-2 over the past three NFL seasons and has returned $1,147 to $100 players specifically on his last 44 Seattle picks, the track record SportsLine cites for his Thursday lean.
Why it matters: Bettors following Hunt's Seahawks-specific picks have cashed at $1,147 per $100 wagered, and his Thursday lean is anchored in a quantified trend: the Over has hit in five of the last seven meetings between these franchises and in three straight Seattle games this season, giving the play both a documented sample size and a short-week price edge to evaluate.
