Raiders vs Seahawks Predictions: Why This Line Is Interesting
The Las Vegas Raiders have beaten the betting margin in six of nine games this season, and seven of their nine games went over the posted point total. Now they host a Seattle Seahawks team without Sam Darnold, and the market still asks the Raiders to lose by six or fewer. That tension drives this Seahawks vs Raiders preview. Kickoff is Sunday, November 15 at 4:05 PM ET on CBS from Allegiant Stadium, which is indoors. Both teams have six days of rest and no time-zone change. The Seahawks travel 871 miles from home. The Raiders come back 386 miles from Santa Clara.
Who Is Favored to Win Seahawks vs Raiders?
The Seahawks are the favorite. As of publication they are 5-4, second of four in the NFC West and 2.5 games back of the division lead. The Raiders are 4-5, third of four in the AFC West and three back. Each team has eight games left. The last meeting, 465 days ago, ended in a tie. The per-game averages over nine games tell the real story.
The Seahawks allow 244.22 yards and 4.09 yards per play per game. The Raiders allow 385.44 yards, 6.09 yards per play and 151.22 rushing yards per game. Against the spread (ATS, meaning whether a team beat the betting margin), the Raiders are 6-3 over nine games and 5-3 as an underdog. The Seahawks are 3-4-2 ATS over nine games.
Players to Watch
Emanuel Wilson leads the Seahawks' ground game with 111 carries for 403 yards and 3 touchdowns over eight games, about 50.4 yards per game. Over his last five games he averages 61.6 rushing yards per game. As a team, the Seahawks run for 110.78 yards per game, and that meets a Raiders defense allowing 151.22.
For the Raiders, Fernando Mendoza is listed as the passing leader at 6 of 8 for 48 yards over three games, a small sample that tells us very little. Kirk Cousins was the Raiders' quarterback of record last game. For the Seahawks, Drew Lock was the quarterback of record last game, a change from the game before. Sam Darnold is out.
Seahawks vs Raiders Odds and Spread, Line by Line
Every best price below sits at Novig, which is exactly why we compare books before betting. The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Seahawks -264 means a $100 bet profits $37.88. Raiders +257 means a $100 bet profits $257. The spread is a handicap. Seahawks -6.5 at -102 wins only if the Seahawks win by seven or more. Raiders +6.5 at +100 wins if the Raiders win or lose by six or fewer. There is no tie at a half point. The total is 40.5 combined points: Over -102, Under +100.
Break-even is the win rate a price needs to avoid losing money over time. It is 72.5% for the Seahawks moneyline, 28% for the Raiders moneyline, 50.5% for Seahawks -6.5 and the Over, and 50% for Raiders +6.5 and the Under. The public split (the share of bets placed) shows 84% of spread tickets on the Seahawks. It also shows 77% of total tickets on the Over, but 70% of the money on the Under. The consensus opening numbers of 6.5 and 40.5 have not moved.
Where the Value Is
The vig is the sportsbook's built-in fee. Our rating, an Elo model used only as context, lands at 73% for the Seahawks. Expected value is the average result per bet if you could place it many times. Seahawks -6.5 is minus $0.06, Raiders +6.5 is minus $0.93, the Over is minus $0.98 and the Under is $0.00, all per $100 risked. Only one price clears the market's own read. Pay -264 or better, never worse.
Who Is Out for the Seahawks and Raiders?
The Seahawks list four players as out: Quenton Nelson, Charles Cross, Leonard Williams and Sam Darnold. Elijah Arroyo is on injured reserve. The Raiders list Thomas Booker IV and Dont'e Thornton Jr. as questionable, meaning their status is uncertain. Patrick Johnson, Keyron Crawford and Chigozie Anusiem are on injured reserve. Final inactives arrive before Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff.
The Pick
This is Desk analysis, not an official play, and it is a thin price lean. The ticket needs the Seahawks to win 72.5% of the time to break even, and the market's own no-vig read sits at 73.3%. If your book shows a worse number, pass.

The Prediction
Our seahawks vs raiders prediction rests on the defensive gap. The Seahawks allow 4.09 yards per play per game, while the Raiders allow 6.09. Wilson running into a defense that gives up 151.22 rushing yards per game fits that picture. The Raiders' 6-3 ATS mark says they keep games competitive, so we expect a grind. Projection: Seahawks 24, Raiders 16.
That adds up to 40 points, a hair under the 40.5 total. It is a projection, not a reason to bet the Under at a price we rate as no better than break-even. That is the read on this number. The Desk posts a documented free play each day, and it sits right below alongside the $1 trial.
