Denver at Seattle

Russell Wilson will make his Denver debut against his former teammates and the question will be how soon a new offense and a new coach in Nathaniel Hackett will come together and produce especially against a formidable Seattle pass rush featuring lineman Darrell Taylor. Safety Jamal Adams also will try to rebound form having no sacks last season after a record 9.5 for a safety in 2020. The Seahawks will likely play Adams closer to the line of scrimmage to do what he is known for and that is defending the run along with pass rushing. The Broncos lost their last four games last season and ended on a 2-6 ATS run. Seattle expects tight end Noah Fant, who was acquired in the Wilson trade, to play a big role and the the Seahawks expect to have a much-improved offensive line and that was something that Wilson had complained about when he was there. Geno Smith is hoping for a career resurgence and is entering a season as a starting QB for the first time since 2014, but he has plenty of experience and is already familiar with the Seattle offense. The Broncos are 1-5 ATS their last six road games and Seattle is 16-7 ATS its past 23 games as an underdog. Never take Pete Carroll's coaching ability for granted. In Seattle, he's 21-11 ATS as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. He's also 16-6 ATS at home in the first month of the season. This one is gonna be very loud with a ton of energy on the home dog. Take the Seahawks.
