Overview
The Seattle Seahawks sit at 5-4 and have won their last game, a 17-3 defensive effort over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Before that it was a mixed bag: a 17-34 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 8, a 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7, a 14-17 loss at the Denver Broncos in Week 6 and a 29-32 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Seattle has outscored opponents 202-162 on the season, and the defense has been the backbone, holding two of its last three opponents to three points. The injury report isn't pretty, though — Sam Darnold is out with ribs, and the offensive line is down both Charles Cross (ankle) and Quenton Nelson (knee), with Leonard Williams (stinger) also out on defense. Derick Hall did not practice and Drew Lock was limited, both practice reports only.
The Las Vegas Raiders enter at 4-5 on a one-game losing streak, having dropped four of their last five. Their most recent outing was a 17-38 loss at the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. Before that came a 38-33 win at the New York Jets in Week 8, a 21-35 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, a 30-33 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 and a 17-45 loss at the New England Patriots in Week 5. Las Vegas has been outscored 238-268 on the year.
Seattle is favored by 6.5 points with a total of 40.5, and that number makes sense given the gap on defense — Seattle is allowing 162 points this season against Las Vegas's 268. Even shorthanded up front and at quarterback, the Seahawks have the better defense and the league's best receiver, and that combination should be enough to control this one.
Key players
Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 1,036 receiving yards and nine touchdown receptions entering Week 10, and he can become just the third player in NFL history with at least 75 receptions, 1,100 receiving yards and 10 touchdown receptions through his team's first 10 games, joining Torry Holt and Cooper Kupp.
Drew Lock passed for 175 yards and a touchdown with a 96.6 rating in Week 9, and he's chasing a fourth straight game with a touchdown pass and a 95-plus rating, with touchdown passes in three of his past four meetings with Las Vegas.
Zach Charbonnet led Seattle with 77 rush yards in Week 9 and is going for a third straight road game with 95-plus scrimmage yards, with a rushing touchdown in two of his last three road games.
Ernest Jones IV had seven tackles and a pass defensed last week and ranks fourth in the league with 88 tackles this season, aiming for a third straight game with a pass defensed and a 10th straight with seven-plus tackles.
DeMarcus Lawrence posted a sack, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble in Week 9 and is going for a third straight game with a forced fumble.
Keys to the game
Seattle has to protect the quarterback against Maxx Crosby, who leads the NFL with 138 tackles for loss, with both Charles Cross and Quenton Nelson out up front.
Lean on Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price to keep the ground game moving and take pressure off a patchwork offensive line.
Let the front seven dictate terms — Ernest Jones IV and DeMarcus Lawrence need to force negative plays against a Las Vegas offense playing behind a defense that's allowed 268 points this season.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a clear start at 22.5 projected DraftKings points — he's the focal point of this passing game and the league's leading receiver.
Drew Lock projects at 14.5 points and has a track record of touchdown passes against Las Vegas, making him a usable streaming option in deeper formats.
Sam Darnold is out with ribs and should be benched in all formats despite his 13.5 projection.
Emanuel Wilson's 10.5 projection makes him a flex-only option, not a must-start piece of this backfield.
Jason Myers projects for 8.3 points and is a steady floor play given how often this defense has kept opponents out of the end zone.
Prediction
The market has this one at Seattle Seahawks 24, Las Vegas Raiders 17, and that lines up with what's on paper — a top-tier defense and the NFL's leading receiver against a Raiders team that's lost four of five and is giving up nearly 30 points a game. Seattle's defense should be the difference, with Smith-Njigba doing enough through the air to keep the scoreboard moving even with Darnold sidelined.
