The Seahawks are heading east to take on the Patriots, who are coming off a surprising upset win over the Bengals. While the Patriots are riding high from that victory, this isn't the best spot for them. They have a quick turnaround with a Thursday night game against division rivals, the New York Jets. Last week, both the Dolphins and Bills found themselves in a similar situation and failed to cover, which could suggest a letdown spot for the Patriots here.

From a roster standpoint, the Seahawks are the more talented team overall. Despite some mishaps on the front line, including giving up a couple of safeties to the Broncos, the Seahawks have the depth and quality to bounce back. The Patriots will find it challenging to get any type of offensive momentum against this Seahawks defense.

Given these factors, I’m backing the Seahawks -3 to take advantage of this spot and come out with a win.
