Bet Vikings at Seahawks in NFL Week 16 Predictions, Lines & Pick

Making the playoffs with games still remaining in the season is a good thing, but it does put teams in a bit of an odd position.

Some will use the opportunity to rest players, while others will go all out to keep winning and to build momentum heading into the postseason.

Bet Vikings at Seahawks in NFL Week 16 Analysis

Sometimes, the decision is based on the NFL standings, with a team still looking to win a division or land a higher seed, and potentially a bye week.

The Minnesota Vikings have already clinched a playoff spot, but they also have a lot to play for, while the Seahawks are below the cut line and still trying to win their way in, all of which makes this a fantastic matchup.

The Vikings are favored by 3 points, with the point total set at 42 ½.

Minnesota Vikings Odds and Trends

As we already mentioned, the Vikings have punched their playoff ticket, but they still have something else to play for over the final 3 weeks.

The Vikings are sitting at 12-2, which is the same record as the Detroit Lions, who are sitting atop the NFC North thanks to a tiebreaker.

If the Vikings are to take the top spot, they need to keep winning, which has not been a problem given that they are now on a 7-game winning streak.

As good as that it is, it is worth remembering that they have gone just 1-7 SU in their last 8 meetings with the Seahawks.

They have also had issues in Week 16, going 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games played in that week.

The Vikings have seen the UNDER hit in 5 of their last 7 games. Let’s look at their remaining games after this one:

Vs Packers
At Lions

While the final couple of weeks are tough, the bonus is that the Vikings control their own destiny in terms of winning the division and potentially getting the #1 seed.

Seattle Seahawks Odds and Trends

The Seahawks are 8-6 heading into this weekend, which has them very much alive in the playoff race, mostly because they are currently tied for the top spot in the NFC West.

They did see a 4-game win streak come to an end this past weekend after getting crushed by the Green Bay Packers, so they need to bounce back quickly.

While this matchup might be even tougher than the game they just lost, the Seahawks have won each of the last 5 times the Vikings paid a visit.

The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, but they are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 at home.

Seattle have seen the total go UNDER in 5 of their last 6 conference games. Their remaining schedule looks like this:

At Bears
At Rams

The Seahawks are still alive, but a loss here could make getting to the playoffs rather problematic.

2016 Seahawks Vs Vikings

Wild Card weekend is almost upon us, which means we have to get busy in figuring out where our NFL betting dollars are going to go this weekend. With the amazing level of parity in this league, there is great value to be had no matter which game you bet on, but it also means that making the right selections can be a little trickier. The Seahawks and Vikings will hook up at US Bank Stadium on Sunday, January 10 at 1:05 PM. The OVER/UNDER for this one has been set at 39.5, so let’s take a look at which bet might be the best here.

The Seahawks and the OVER/UNDER

While we all tend to think of Seattle and their Legion of Boom defense as a team that stops teams and doesn’t really score much, the truth is a little more surprising. Yes, the Seahawks had the best defense in the league, giving up a measly 17.3 PPG, but they were also tied for 4th in scoring with 26.4 PPG. They have been very difficult to predict in terms of the point total this season, with their last 8 games a perfect example of what I am talking about. They come into this one having seen their previous 4 games go UNDER the total, but all 4 games prior to that hit the OVER. You would expect this one to be on the low scoring side of things, as we are probably not going to see much in the way of an air attack from either team. It is worth noting that the Seahawks have scored 30 or more points in 5 of their last 6 games, but they also held their opponents to single digits in 3 of those games.

The Vikings and the OVER/UNDER

Like the Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings play a ground and pound style that eats up a lot of the clock, and which tends to keep scoring to a minimum. The Minnesota Vikings only saw 4 of their 16 games go OVER this season, but 3 of those came in the final 5 weeks of the season, including a match-up against the Seahawks back in Week 13. Minnesota was totally outplayed in that one, but they responded very well, racking up 127 total points in their last 4 games of the season. This is a team that can score when they want to, but the question is whether or not they can score enough versus the Seahawks to take this one into the OVER territory.

How to bet the OVER/UNDER

I have this one being a lot closer than the previous meeting between these two, as I like the Seahawks to win by 6. I also like this one to go slightly OVER the 39.5 total, and see it hitting the 42 or 43-point mark.
