There are few things one can take for granted in sports betting, but expecting Pete Carroll to go all out to win no matter what the situation is one of them. Carroll now is 30-16 straight-up, in his preseason career, including 2-0 this year. The Seahawks have won five of their last six preseason battles and last week beat the Minnesota Vikings, who had lost only one previous preseason game since Mike Zimmer became coach in 2014. Russell Wilson was 13-of-18 for 206 yards against the Vikings and Trevone Boykin was five of eight for 55 yards and Austin Davis went two of five for 21 yards. The Seahawks piled up 406 total offense yards, including 153 on the ground versus Minnesota and were in control nearly the entire game. Kansas City comes off a win over Cincinnati with Alex Smith throwing for 83 yards on eight of nine passing and Patrick Mahomes was 10-of-14 for 88 yards while Tyler Bray finished up two of five for 23 yards. Andy Reid is also 35-39 in preseason. Seattle's defense was beefed up during the offseason with free agent signings and the draft and it has showed the first two weeks in August. Look for a similar performance to last week's Vikings contest and play the Seahawks on the moneyline and the UNDER.
