Seahawks vs Chiefs Predictions & Odds

Last Updated: Dec 21, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks (7-7) are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) this Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Eve.

Seattle is fresh off a 21-13 loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers, while Kansas City escaped with an overtime victory over the Houston Texans.

Let’s take a look at Seattle vs Kansas City betting odds and make a game prediction for this Week 16 showdown that carries major playoff implications.

Seahawks vs Chiefs Odds

As of Monday, Dec. 19, at 1 p.m. ET on Caesars Sportsbook, the Chiefs are a massive 9.5-point favorite over the Seahawks at home.

This game carries the second-largest point total of the weekend, so expect to see some fireworks.

Seahawks vs Chiefs Prediction

Chiefs 30, Seahawks 24

Kansas City has one of the most balanced attacks in the league. However, their defense has looked incredibly shaky of late, almost leading to a pair of losses to the lowly Texans and Denver Broncos.

The Seahawks are without wide receiver Tyler Lockett, which certainly dampers their chances of winning, but Geno Smith and company should be able to take advantage of the Chiefs’ defensive mistakes enough to keep this game closer than many think.

I expect D.K. Metcalf and Kenneth Walker to carry the offensive load for Seattle while Tariq Woolen, who leads the NFL in interceptions, leads the Seahawks’ defense.

This is not to say Seattle will win. However, in their last six home games, the Chiefs have covered just once, so a spread of 9.5 points seems like a bit much.

Seahawks vs Chiefs Best Bets

Seahawks +9.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook

WAGER: 1 Unit

As mentioned above, the Chiefs have a dynamic attack. However, they have allowed the likes of the Texans and Broncos to nearly defeat them in back-to-back weeks.

I expect the Seahawks to lose this game but to do so in an honorable fashion.
