Seattle Seahawks2nd in the NFC WestDenver Broncos3rd in the AFC West
Bo Nix (DEN)81/135, 819 YDS, 5 TD, 3 INT
Sam Darnold (SEA)45/69, 560 YDS, 6 TD, 3 INTFive of the six main prices on this game pay less than the market's own math says they should. One pays more. That is the Seattle Seahawks moneyline at -125, and the edge is thin enough that the book you use decides whether it exists at all. Meanwhile the spread is sitting at a number that punishes the obvious: Seattle -2.5 loses on a 2-point win. That is the whole tension in Seahawks vs Broncos.
Kickoff is Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 8:15 PM ET from Empower Field at Mile High, Week 6 of the 2026 regular season. As of this writing on October 8, the Seattle Seahawks are 3-1 and the Denver Broncos are 2-2. Seattle sits 2nd of 4 in the NFC West. Denver sits 3rd of 4 in the AFC West. A short week trims practice time and film study for both sides, which is part of why oddsmakers kept this one tight. Broncos vs Seahawks is a road favorite game by less than a field goal, which in betting terms is about as close as a spread gets without being level.
Bo Nix has thrown 81 completions on 135 attempts for 819 yards, 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. That is roughly 60 percent accuracy and about 6.1 yards per throw. Sam Darnold has 45 completions on 69 attempts for 560 yards, 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, roughly 65 percent and about 8.1 yards per attempt. The volume gap matters: Darnold has 66 fewer attempts and still has one more touchdown. Nix has been asked to do more and has moved the ball in smaller chunks. Same interception count for both.
Moneyline means you are simply picking the winner, no margin required. Seattle is -125, best at DraftKings: risk $100 to profit $80.00 if the Seahawks win, lose $100 if they do not. Denver is +122, best at Novig: risk $100 to profit $122.00 if the Broncos win. The point spread is a handicap.
Seattle -2.5 at -109 (best at Bally Bet) wins only if Seattle wins by 3 or more; a 2-point win loses, and there is no push at a half point. Denver +2.5 at -110 (best at FanDuel) wins if Denver wins outright or loses by 2 or fewer, and it loses on a 3-point defeat. The total is the combined score of both teams: Over 42.5 is -105 at FanDuel, Under 42.5 is -110 at DraftKings. Shopping those exact books is the point.
Strip the vig (the book's built-in commission) and the market reads Seattle 55.6 percent, Denver 44.4 percent. Seattle is the favorite at -125, Denver the underdog at +122. At -125 the break-even is 55.6 percent, so the expected result is plus $0.08 per $100 risked, or plus $0.10 per $125 risked. Small, but positive. Denver +122 breaks even at 45 percent against a 44.4 percent read, which is minus $1.43 per $100 risked.
Both spreads lose money on this math: Seattle -2.5 needs 52.2 percent and the line's own no-vig cover number is 49.8 percent (minus $4.51 per $100 risked), while Denver +2.5 needs 52.4 percent against 50.2 percent (minus $4.16 per $100 risked). Over 42.5 is minus $3.36 per $100 risked and Under 42.5 is minus $3.59 per $100 risked. One playable price.
Six names are listed. Denver has Pat Surtain II doubtful, Pat Bryant doubtful and Adam Trautman questionable. Seattle has George Holani, Beau Stephens and Nehemiah Pritchett all questionable. Questionable means genuinely uncertain, so do not assign it odds. Surtain being doubtful is the heaviest item here, and Thursday designations land fast on a short week.
Seattle Seahawks moneyline -125 at DraftKings. It is the only side on this board priced above the market's own read, at plus $0.08 per $100 risked. If your book has Seattle at -130 or worse, that small edge is gone and this becomes a pass. We are not touching either spread or either total at these prices.
We project Seattle 23, Denver 20. That adds to 43 points, which is above the 42.5 total, though we are not betting that side. A 3-point Seattle win is exactly the margin this number is built around, which is why we want the winner-only ticket rather than the margin. That is the read on this number, and the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this one right below.
Seahawks is the market favorite at -125 (best price at DraftKings) on the moneyline, with Broncos at +122. Lines move all day, so check the odds table on this page for the current best number at every book.
