All props taken Jan. 8th from DraftKings/FanDuel/BetMGM.

Prop #1: Wilson Won’t Complete The Mission

Oddsmakers are being very generous when it comes to Russell Wilson’s total completions. They’ve set the bar at 23.5, and there’s plenty of recent history to suggest that number is overshooting the mark.

Just once in his past eight games has Wilson completed more than 23.5 passes. That was during a 17-12 loss to the New York Giants.

Seattle is going more conservative with its offensive scheme in recent games, leaning more on the run. In the two games this season against the Rams, Wilson completed 22 passes in the 23-16 loss and just 20 in Seattle’s 20-9 win.

Pick: Russell Wilson under 23.5 completions (+102), 1 unit.

Prop #2: The Carson Show

Since his return from a knee injury for their Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Seahawks have been turning more and more to running back Chris Carson to carry the load.

Carson’s rushing yardage total for Saturday’s game is set at 59.5. He’s gone over that number in four of Seattle’s last five games.

That stretch includes a 69-yard performance two weeks ago in Seattle against the Rams. The Seahawks will have all five of their starting offensive linemen in the lineup Saturday. They’re unbeaten this season when that’s the case.

Pick: Chris Carson over 59.5 yards rushing (-112), 1 unit.

Who Are the Best Bets To Score a Touchdown?

Two weeks ago in the win over the Rams, Wilson called his own number on a four-yard run to produce the first touchdown of the game. It was just the second time all season he’s run in for a score.

Curiously, both of his end zone runs this season were for Seattle’s first TD of the game.

For the Rams, the question might be will they score a TD. They’ve gone two games without an offensive TD.

With the injury uncertainty of QB Jared Goff (thumb), the Rams figure to rely heavily on the running game. That should put Cam Akers in prime position to score for them.

  • Russell Wilson first TD (+2800), 1 unit
  • Cam Akers anytime TD (+115),  1 unit
