- Seattle leads current form by 8.6 average margin and 0.513 points per drive; Bo Nix and Sam Darnold are confirmed starters, while Denver loses Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga.
- Most likely loss: Denver's home field and Bo Nix win the turnover or field-position battle despite Seattle's efficiency advantage.
high-confidence main markets- Seattle's recent offense: +0.0536 EPA/play and 48.6% success versus Denver's -0.1438 and 39.7%.
- Seattle's defense allows -0.1801 EPA/play versus Denver's -0.0283; Seattle also leads recent explosive rate 12.0% to 8.6%.
