Browns vs. Seahawks Predictions, Picks & Odds Week 8: Low-Scoring Affair in Seattle

The Seattle Seahawks welcome the Cleveland Browns to Lumen Field in Week 8, and we’re calling for a low-scoring game as one of our top Browns vs. Seahawks predictions. We always shop for the best NFL odds from our best sports betting apps when making our NFL picks.

It was a thriller between the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. The Brownies pulled off a 39-38 win with a touchdown from running back Kareem Hunt in the final 15 seconds. Cleveland climbed to 4-2 with the win, and it was the second straight victory for backup quarterback PJ Walker taking the majority of snaps.

Walker will start again this week with Deshaun Watson (shoulder) ruled out against the Seattle Seahawks.

After defeating the Arizona Cardinals 20-10 in Week 7, the Seahawks are also 4-2. The Seattle defense has also been doing the heavy lifting by holding three straight opponents to 17 points or fewer. It’s a good thing, too. Seattle has only scored 33 points across its past two games.

To accompany our NFL Week 8 predictions and NFL best bets, here is our best Browns vs. Seahawks prediction and our NFL picks (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Browns vs. Seahawks prediction

Under 39.5 (-110 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐

The Browns vs. Colts total was listed at 37.5 points last week, and both teams went over that individually. It was an insane game and one that is not going to be replicated this week.

The Browns have had one of the best defenses in football for most of the season. They’re allowing just 264.5 yards per game, and even with last week’s result, they’re still the 10th-best scoring defense in the NFL. 

The Seahawks scored 37 points in Weeks 2 and 3, but the offense has quieted considerably in recent weeks. They’re just 4-12 in the red zone in their last three games, a rate of conversion that does not bode well against this Browns’ defense.

For those concerned about the Seahawks’ defense, don’t be. They’re playing fantastic football right now, allowing 10 points per game over their last three. While the Browns keep winning with Walker, the offense hasn’t looked great. Walker is completing just 50% of his passes and has zero touchdowns and three interceptions. Plus, the Browns will be without running back Jerome Ford this week, meaning the backfield will be the Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr. show. That’s a problem since the Seahawks allow just 87.2 rushing yards per game.

Caesars (-110)

Caesars is a serious outlier right now. While three of our best sports betting sites list this total at 38, Caesars offers 39.5. What’s most shocking is that it's offering a price of -110.

Our advice is to get in now. Caesar’s number is not going to last long. By the time Sunday rolls around, we firmly believe that all the best sports betting apps will have this total at 38.5 or lower. We’d take the under down to 38.

Browns vs. Seahawks analysis

The Seahawks opened as 1.5-point favorites, but with all the injuries the Browns are dealing with, the spread has unsurprisingly grown to somewhere between 3 and 4 at our best sportsbooks. Once Watson is officially ruled out, we expect this number to settle in at 4 or 4.5. However, with how well the Browns’ defense has played this season, we doubt the spread gets any larger than that.

The total opened at 38.5, and the movement at each major sportsbook has been erratic since then. While most of them dropped this total down to 38, Caesars shot it up to 39.5. A slight majority of wagers back the Under at the moment. We expect that support to grow throughout the week. If you’re on the Under, get in at Caesars as soon as possible.
