NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Seahawks vs. Ravens
Seahawks vs. Ravens
The Seahawks and Ravens are both on winning streaks heading into this game. The Seahawks have earned two straight against the Cardinals and Browns, while the Ravens have added three consecutive wins against the Titans, Lions, and Cardinals. For both teams, it's been the defenses stepping up. The Ravens haven't allowed more than 17 points in four of their last five games, while the Seahawks have held their last three teams to no more than 20 points per game. Baltimore has one of the best secondaries in the NFL, while the Seahawks have a reliable pass rush and a better run defense. With Seattle's pass protection struggling and Baltimore's playmakers not giving incredible production, the Under looks like the play in this one.
Pick: Under 44.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
