Seattle -2½ | Total 40½

Records: Seattle 3–2 SU, 2–3 ATS, 3–2 O/U; Denver 3–2 SU, 3–2 ATS, 1–4 O/U.  

Last-game recaps

Seattle: Lost at home to San Francisco 32-29. Four turnovers gave away scoring opportunities and helped the 49ers generate 21 points off takeaways. Sam Darnold also absorbed five sacks. Jaxon Smith-Njigba produced 102 receiving yards and a touchdown, but Seattle’s protection and ball security undermined its offensive production.  

Denver: Won 23–17 at the Chargers despite limited passing production. Bo Nix finished with 123 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Defensive takeaways helped  

Quarterback matchup

Offense versus defense

Seattle ranks first in total and passing yards allowed in the cited preview, while Denver ranks 30th in total offense.  

Seattle with the ball: Denver’s secondary absences create opportunities for Smith-Njigba and the supporting receivers. Seattle should also have reason to stay patient with the run against a defense allowing 145.2 rushing yards per game. Can Denver pressure Darnold without committing extra rushers and exposing its replacement defensive backs?

Denver with the ball: Long, methodical drives look difficult against Seattle’s defensive profile. Denver needs to avoid negative plays, use quick throws and generate favorable field position. Seattle’s missing starting linebacker gives Denver a matchup to test with its backs and underneath routes, although that alone does not erase the broader statistical disadvantage.

Final injury updates

Seattle:

• RB Zach Charbonnet — out, knee/ACL rehabilitation. His absence limits backfield depth and leaves more responsibility with the available runners.
• LB Drake Thomas — out, ankle. Tyrice Knight will replace him alongside Ernest Jones IV.
• LB Chazz Surratt — out, calf. Primarily a depth and special-teams loss.

Denver:

• CB Patrick Surtain II — out, ankle. A major loss against Seattle’s receiving corps.
• S Talanoa Hufanga — out, ankle. Further weakens coverage flexibility and run support.
• CB Riley Moss — questionable, ribs. Limited throughout the week; his availability is the major remaining defensive personnel question.

Weather: Updated reporting points to temperatures falling through the 40s, with one forecast near 52°F at kickoff and northeast winds around 10 mph.

Key Trends: Sea is: 1)2-6 ATS last 8 Thursday games. 2)6-1 ATS last 7 after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Den is: 1)1-6 ATS last 7 Thursday games. 2)1-4 ATS last 5 in Week 6. 3)5-1 Under last 6 overall. 4)8-2 Under last 10 in Week 6.
