This sets up as a similar affair to what we saw a few weeks ago when the Patriots bludgeoned the Titans. The Seahawks dominate bad teams, and with the line below 13, there’s enough room to make a play on Seattle. Even if Tennessee steps up defensively, it’s tough to see how it scores beyond two touchdowns. As long as the Seahawks protect Sam Darnold from Jeffery Simmons, Seattle should be able to slash through the hosts and put up a big number against a team that is on a 6-21 ATS stretch.

The Titans lost Calvin Ridley for the season last week, and that's good news for Spears' chances in the receiving game. Ridley suffered his previous injury in Week 6, playing just six snaps. That was Spears' second game back from his own injury, and he racked up 19 receiving yards in that game, 18 the following week, and then 20+ in the last three games. With the Titans down bad at WR, he should be a key part of the passing attack against a Seahawks defense that has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game to RBs (40.7).

Seattle's defense, and offense for that matter, gets a 'get-right' game vs the lowly Tennessee Titans. The biggest matchup for them in this game is their defense vs one of the worst offenses in the NFL. That means their high-octane offense will get multiple opportunities with the ball to make things happen. Expect that to be the case in Nashville.

The Seahawks are in a great bounceback after their loss to the Rams. They're massive 13.5-point favorites on the road against the woeful Titans and their defense should smother Cam Ward. I'd expect the Seahawks to run the ball effectively, which means Sam Darnold is going to have plenty of deep play-action looks. That sets up perfectly for Shaheed, who should have scored against the Rams except for a teensy bit of an underthrow by Darnold coupled with an excellent defensive play by Emmanual Forbes, Jr. Seattle would like to get Shaheed in the end zone sooner rather than later after acquiring him at the trade deadline. This week is the week.

Over their past three games, the Seahawks are allowing 156.3 passing yards per game. The last of those three came against MVP favorite Matthew Stafford. Seattle ranks fifth in sacks and first in pressure rate. Cam Ward has taken an NFL-high 41 sacks. His starting wideouts are Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson, and his talented tight end Chig Okonkwo is dealing with a foot injury. With the Seahawks actually being stingier on the road, I bet against Ward getting to 190 passing yards.

The Seahawks just suffered a tough loss against the Rams thanks to Sam Darnold's four interceptions, and the focus should be on getting him settled early with some easy throws and putting points on the board in the first quarter. Even with the interceptions, the elite Seattle defense held the Rams to 21 points and 249 yards to get the cover. What chance does a Titans offense down several receivers have against this unit? Maybe they try to run the ball, but with Seattle ranked fifth in yards per rush allowed I don't see that working much either. This should be at least 3-0 by the end of the first period, and the margin is likely going to be higher than that.
