5 minsSeahawks vs. Broncos: 5 Most Popular Bets for Monday Night Football
It was a wild Week 1 in the NFL. But we've still got one more game on the schedule. Russell Wilson will look to lead the Denver Broncos over his former team in Seattle. The Seahawks are projected to be much worse than the Broncos this season. But with so many upsets and close games over the weekend, anything is possible. Here are the top five popular bets for Monday Night Football via BetMGM.
Broncos vs. Seahawks Against The Spread
Team | Opening Spread | Current Spread | % Bets | % Handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Broncos | -4.5 | -6.5 | 86% | 92% |
Seahawks | +4.5 | +6.5 | 14% | 8% |
The Broncos opened up as a -4.5 point favorite but have now been bet up to -6.5. The line has changed, but even if the Broncos win by a touchdown, they'd still cover the spread. The public is all over the Broncos in Wilson's return to Seattle. 86% of the bets are on the Broncos, but even more of the money is sitting at the Broncos at 92%.
Broncos vs. Seahawks Total
null | Opening Total | Current Total | % Bets | % Handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Over | 41.5 | 44 | 51% | 56% |
Under | 41.5 | 44 | 49% | 44% |
The public is torn between the total in tonight's game. The total jumped from 41.5 to 44, but only 56% of the handle is on the Over per BetMGM. The percentage of bets is even closer, with the over having 51% of the bets. It seems the public trusts Denver to score but is unsure what the Seahawks will do offensively against the Broncos.
Broncos vs. Seahawks Moneyline
Team | Opening Moneyline | Current Moneyline | % Bets | % Handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Broncos | -200 | -300 | 53% | 81% |
Seahawks | +165 | +240 | 47% | 19% |
The moneyline bet percentages changed a bit more compared to the spread bets. The Broncos went from -200 to -300 over the last couple of weeks. Therefore, there are plenty of bets on the Seahawks, who have jumped to a +240 underdog tonight. With the Giants and Steelers earning major upset wins and the Texans and Falcons coming close, it's never a bad idea to grab the underdog when the price is as high as +240. It's Week 1. Anything can happen. Still, 81% of the handle is on Denver despite the line being at -300.
Bet MGM Most Bet Props
- Javonte Williams to Score 1st Touchdown (+650) (Bet $100 to Win $650)
- Javonte Williams to Score Anytime Touchdown (-110) (Bet $110 to Win $100)
- Russell Wilson Over 12.5 Rushing Yards (-110) (Bet $110 to Win $100)
The public is betting fewer long shots tonight. I like that already. However, I'd like to point out that the Seahawks' best asset on the defensive end was their rushing defense. Javonte Williams should have a solid season with the Broncos, but we're still unsure how significant his role will be with Melvin Gordon. Despite the Seahawks being solid defensively against the run, Williams can still sneak in for a touchdown. But don't be surprised if Williams and Gordon struggle to rush the football in tonight's game. The Seahawks were sneaky last year against the run.
Lastly, Russell Wilson added 13 rushing yards or more in seven games last year. Wilson is aging, but after a five-year extension, it's clear he still has much football left. This is truly a 50/50 chance. You just got to hope Wilson isn't kneeling towards the end of the game to lose the bet.
