The Seattle Seahawks (5-4) head to Las Vegas on Sunday trying to establish some momentum in a tightly packed NFC West race, while the Raiders (4-5) are looking to rebound from one of their sloppiest performances of the season AND are looking to do so with rookie Fernando Mendoza making his first start of his career. The matchup is a monster challenge for Mendoza: Seattle has leaned on a defense allowing just 18.0 points per game, tied for fourth-best in the league entering the week, while Las Vegas has surrendered 29.8 per game, ranking last. So you expect the Raiders would look to lean on Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. to run the ball and take the pressure off their rookie signal-caller…but know that the Seahawks allow an average of 89.1 yards per game (151.2 for the Raiders). Quarterback is also a storyline for the Seahawks. Sam Darnold remains sidelined with a quad injury after also reportedly cracking a rib against Chicago, while Drew Lock came out of this past Sunday’s game dealing with an oblique issue after previously battling elbow tendinitis.
Seattle comes in off a much-needed 17-3 victory over Arizona, a game it controlled despite playing without starting quarterback Darnold. Backup Lock completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown, while tight end AJ Barner supplied both Seattle touchdowns, catching one from Lock and running for another. Zach Charbonnet, recently returned from an ACL injury, gave the offense some balance with 77 yards on 16 carries, and the defense held Arizona to 216 total yards and no touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught seven passes for 51 yards and became the first NFL receiver to reach 1,000 yards this season.
Las Vegas, meanwhile, is trying to clean up the turnovers after a 38-17 loss at San Francisco dropped it below .500. The Raiders were actually within 21-10 at halftime, but Kirk Cousins was intercepted on the first play of the third quarter and Jaden Dugger returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, beginning a disastrous second half. Cousins finished 22-of-32 for 216 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions as Las Vegas committed five turnovers, managed only 240 total yards and 24 rushing yards, and possessed the ball for just 21:42. Brock Bowers was possibly the only bright spot, catching seven passes for 111 yards and a touchdown.
Sunday’s game is also a reunion of two franchises with considerably more history than their present-day conference alignment suggests. The Raiders and Seahawks were AFC West rivals from 1977 through 2001, and the Raiders lead the overall series 30-26, including postseason games. They have met only periodically since Seattle moved to the NFC, with the last meeting producing one of the wildest games of the 2022 season: the Raiders won 40-34 in overtime in Seattle, powered by Josh Jacobs’ 229 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Let’s dive further into the numbers and see if we can’t find an additional sweat or two.

Please bet responsibly. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700.
Our model calculates projections around each moneyline, spread and over/under bet for every game on the NFL calendar based on data points like past performance, player matchups, betting trends, and weather forecasts.
Once the model is finished running, we put its projection next to the latest betting lines for the game to arrive at a relative confidence level for each wager.
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for Sunday’s game between the Seahawks and the Raiders:
- Moneyline: NBC Sports is staying away from a play on the Moneyline.
- Spread: NBC Sports is leaning towards a play on the Seahawks -6.5.
- Total: NBC Sports is recommending a play on the Game Total UNDER 40.5.
Here’s why the Game Total UNDER 40.5 is our best bet:
The strongest play on the board. The logic is simple: where do the Raiders’ points come from? Las Vegas ranks 31st in rushing yards (71.33 per game) and 32nd in yards per carry (2.89) — they cannot run the ball. Everything now runs through a rookie making his first start against the best pass defense in football. The Raiders have been successful on just 33.0% of rush attempts this season — worst in the NFL — and 31% in the second half, also worst in the league. The situational numbers reinforce it. The Raiders have run just 44.3% of their offensive plays on their opponent’s side of the field since 2025 — 5th-worst in the NFL. And Seattle’s own offense is limited without Sam Darnold — the Seahawks rank 19th in offensive DVOA (-5.1%), 19th in points scored (22.44 per game), and 20th in yards per play (5.7).
