Seahawks vs. Saints Free Pick
With his former college football coach paying a visit, Reggie Bush appears set to return when the New Orleans Saints host Pete Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks at 4:05PM ET on Sunday. Continue reading for our Week 11 free pick for this game.
According to latest NFL Odds, oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Saints an 11.5-point favorite over the Seahawks in Week 11. The over/under total for this game is currently 44 points.
After beating the Cardinals last Sunday, the Seahawks improved to 5-4 on the year and have now covered in five of their first nine games according to latest NFL trends. That said, they’re 2-3 on the road this season and have failed to cover in three of their five road games.
The Saints have strung a couple of wins together and are now 6-3 on the year, although they’re just 4-5 against the spread. They’re 3-2 at home this season but have failed to cover in three of their first five games at the Superdome.
Our Week 11 NFL Free Pick:
The Saints are starting to get healthy again, which should be a concern for every playoff contender in the NFC. Reggie Bush is expected to play this week after suffering an injury earlier in the year against the 49ers, although it’s unclear at this point whether or not he’ll be limited. Nevertheless, the Saints have taken on a different identity of late, one in which they’re more dink-and-dunk then vertical. They’ve also played very well defensively, which is why we see some value in the under. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams and with Matt Hasselbeck playing with an injured hand, we think this will be a low-scoring contest. Our pick is the under.
