Saints vs. Seahawks Odds, Spread, Over/Under and Prediction for NFL Week 7

The New Orleans Saints, who are coming off of a bye, will travel to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7 action. Seattle lost in overtime to the Steelers on Sunday Night Football with backup Geno Smith under center.

It'll be Smith again on Monday Night Football, so how should we assess this matchup?

Saints vs. Seahawks Betting Prediction

This line was -3 in the lookahead market, but now sits with the Saints -4.5. Geno Smith helped lead the Seahawks into overtime on the road, but fumbled near his own end zone, costing them a chance to win.

Ultimately, it's tough to get excited about this Seattle team as it's currently constructed. Smith rarely threw the ball down field, opting to check down or hand the ball off to Alex Collins -- who ran for 101 yards against Pittsburgh.

The offense is in trouble on Monday, considering the Saints are fourth in EPA/Play as well as ranking in the top 10 in both passing and rushing success rate on defense. A rested and ready New Orleans defense is going to cause issues for Smith, who didn't throw an interception on Sunday.

While the Steelers offense didn't challenge Seattle's defense, this is still a subpar unit, and Jameis Winston is able to push the ball down field as opposed to Ben Roethlisberger whose arm strength is non-existent at this point in his career. With more diversity on offense than last week's opponent, I expect Seattle's defense to breakdown from the pressure. Alvin Kamara should have no issue running wild on the Seahawks D that is bottom third the league in EPA/Play.

It may not be the prettiest game, but the Sean Payton off of a bye has been a strong angle to play and I expect New Orleans to give Smith fits in his second consecutive primetime game. I'll lay it with the visitors.

Pick: Saints -4.5
