Seattle...

[IE]

The Seahawks are on the second leg of back-to-back games as road underdogs. Teams in this spot that lost the first game are 190-135-5 (58.5%) against the spread the following week since 2003.

BUT

Entering the 2018 season, 13 consecutive teams failed to cover on the road in Week 2 after playing on the road in Week 1. The Chiefs ended that streak on Sunday, but the Texans fell victim to it again.

Seattle finds itself in this spot on Monday night.

PLAYER WHO COULD SURPRISE
Receiver David Moore. With Doug Baldwin out, the Seahawks are going to need the rest of their receivers to step up. The onus largely will fall on the veteran trio of Tyler Lockett ? who figures to get the bulk of the snaps in the slot ? Brandon Marshall (making a return to another of his former teams) and Jaron Brown. But maybe this is a game where Moore ? who was one of the breakout stars of the offseason ? finally gets going as he figures to have an increased role in the game plan. Moore has played in only two games and has yet to make a catch. It?ll be a good sign for the offense if he finally gets in the statistical column Monday night.

KEY STAT
2 for 12. That was Seattle?s third-down conversion rate last week, which all involved cited as one issue in getting the running game going. Seattle simply had trouble moving the ball consistently, and instead got 185 of its 309 yards on just five plays (Seattle ran 55 plays overall). Four of the third downs Seattle didn?t convert were of 9 yards or more. But Seattle also failed to convert four of 5 yards or less on which it called passing plays on each. Seattle is gong to have to get more continuity to its offense this week.

My sleeper tonight for the Seahawks is ex-Navy QB Keenan Reynolds, we was activated off the practice squad.
