The over is 4-1 in this series recently.
Seattle is clearly the better team, but there is no guarantee they even score 13 points. Indianapolis can’t run the ball and the offensive line can’t protect the quarterback. The defense isn’t that great either. Still, I like Seattle to win convincingly and get back on track.
