Seattle at Tampa Bay

The Seahawks are still alive in their fight for the inept NFC West Division Championship and associated playoff berth. They had better find some answers on defense if they hope to keep the dream alive. Through their first six games, this team was allowing just 17.8 points per game. But, they have subsequently gone in the tank trying to defend their opponents. In the last eight games Seattle is allowing a whopping 32 ppg. That sets up a rather low total here with a team that has been hit for over 30 points per game consistently. Tampa Bay has steadily improved on the offensive end as the season has progressed. This is a team that scored 30 or more in nine of 22 weeks going back though last season and the first six of this year. They have since hit 20+ in six of their last eight games. Seattle’s porous defense has led them to seven straight OVERs, and they are now 35-17-1 to the OVER in their last 53 as a road dog. Over the past two seasons, the Seahawks are 9-2 oVER vs. winning teams. I like this one to go OVER the total.
