Giants vs Seahawks NFL Game Preview

These two divisional leaders have only played against each other 18 times. Each team has nine wins apiece. Their last matchup was in 2017 and the Seahawks won that game 24 to 7. Seattle has won four in a row in this series.

The Seahawks are 5-3 at home all-time against the Giants and have won five of the last six meetings when hosting the “G-men.”

• Don’t look now, but the New York Giants (4-7) are streaking as they have won three straight games including two within their division, which has them sitting on top of the NFC East. However, the Giants could be without Daniel Jones this week as their franchise QB has a hamstring injury. Will New York be able to hang with the high powered Seahawks if Jones misses the game?
• The Seattle Seahawks (8-3) has put together a two game winning streak after losing three of their previous four games. The Seahawks have found success on their defense the last few weeks as players are returning from injury. Can the Seahawks smother this shorthanded Giants offense in Week 13?

Free NFL Sports Bet and Game Prediction: Seattle -10 (-105)

I’m never eager to jump on a double digit spread, but I couldn’t pass up on this one. There are a lot of factors lining up in Seattle’s favor that have me believing the Seahawks could win by at least two touchdowns.

First, the Giants could be without starting QB Daniel Jones who is dealing with a hamstring injury that he suffered in last weekend’s game against the Bengals. If he can’t play then Colt McCoy will get the start.

Even with Jones, I didn’t think the Giants could win at Seattle, let alone cover a 7 point spread. Now, possibly without Jones, I don’t see New York covering a 10 point spread.

Defensively, the Giants are underrated as they currently have the 10^th ranked defense overall. New York is 5^th against the run which will cause trouble for Seattle on Sunday. However, the Giants are 19^th against the pass as they allow 263.5 passing ypg.

That’s going to be trouble for the Giants as Seattle has one of the best passing attacks in the league as they average 292.4 passing ypg. I believe this is where the Seahawks will have the most success at this weekend and it will ultimately be why they score most of their points.

On the flip side, the Giants have an anemic passing attack going up against the worst pass defense in the league statistically. New York averages 216.7 passing ypg and the Seahawks allow 342.9 passing ypg.

With that said, things have changed dramatically for Seattle’s defense over the last few weeks. Most notably, the pass rush has come alive as they’ve tallied 19 sacks since Week 9 which is the most in the league.

Defensive lineman Carlos Dunlap is paying off huge dividends since Seattle traded for him in late-October. Additionally, safety Jamal Adams is finally healthy after missing several games and the team’s top corner Shaquill Griffin has returned after missing four games.

On the season, the Giants are averaging 19.5ppg and the Seahawks are averaging 31ppg. New York allows 23ppg and Seattle allows 27.6ppg. However, Seattle has only allowed 20.3ppg over the last three weeks as their defense has gotten healthier.

In the last three head to head meetings, Seattle has gone 3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS and outscored the Giants by an average of 20ppg. Seattle averaged 28.33ppg and New York averaged 8ppg.

I see this weekend’s matchup being similar as I am taking Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to crush the Giants by the score of 27 to 13.
