Why the Seahawks can cover

Head coach Mike Macdonald is one of the top young defensive coaches in the league, and the Seahawks had the look of a defense that will be opportunistic and force a lot of turnovers in 2024. Against Denver, the Seahawks intercepted two passes and forced and recovered a fumble, while limiting the Broncos to 231 total yards.

Offensively, the Seahawks are loaded with playmakers. Running back Walker is a Pro Bowl caliber player, and rushed for 103 yards and a score in Week 1. At wide receiver, the trio of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, and DK Metcalf may be the best overall group in the NFL. See which team to pick here.

Why the Patriots can cover

The Patriots had a dominant rushing attack in their Week 1 win over the Bengals. As a team, New England rushed for 170 total yards on 30 carries for an average of 4.4 yards per carry. Veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson led the way, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries.

Defensively, New England limited a typically explosive Cincinnati offense to only 10 points. The Bengals were held to 224 yards of total offense, with Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow throwing for just 164 yards and no touchdowns. The Pats also forced and recovered three fumbles. See which team to pick here.
