The second Sunday of the NFL season is closing with a highly-anticipated matchup, and we’ve got some Patriots vs. Seahawks picks to get you ready for Week 2 of Sunday Night Football!

Before making any Pats vs. Seahawks picks, keep the following betting tidbits in mind:

• Seahawks opened as 4-point favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook

• Both New England and Seattle won and covered the spread in Week 1

• Seattle went 2-6 against the spread at home in 2019

Regardless of who you pick, online sportsbooks in NJ, PA, and several other states where wagering is allowed are seeing tons of action now that the NFL is back. In Week 2, we should expect massive interest from the public when New England visits the Pacific Northwest in prime time.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Can New England Contain Seattle’s Hot Offense?

While both the Patriots and the Seahawks won their first game of the 2020-2021 NFL season, Seattle’s 38-25 victory over the Falcons was much more impressive than New England’s 21-11 win over a turnover-happy Dolphins squad. The Pats did rattle Ryan Fitzpatrick while picking him off three times, but that only covers up the fact that New England’s defense has many holes that were opened up during the offseason.

Plus, the upgrade in difficulty from Fitzpatrick to Russell Wilson is immeasurable. Last week, Wilson torched the Falcons for 322 yards and four touchdowns and I fully expect him to pick apart this depleted corps of New England.

Cam Newton had a very strong debut with New England, looking healthy while running the football and throwing it efficiently. But there’s no doubt this Seattle defense will try to clog the middle of the field and actually force him to throw the ball to the outside, which could lead to some mistakes we didn’t see last week.

Seattle is built to be a Super Bowl contender this year, and they came out of the gates proving that as they put 38 on the board in Atlanta. Cam and the Patriots may end up with a winning record this year with the help of a weak AFC East, but they will need all the help they can get to stay within striking distance of the Seahawks in this matchup.

The Seahawks opened up at -4 (-110), and we see some sweet value in a number that may only get bigger as kickoff approaches.

Patriots vs. Seahawks Over-Under Predictions | Week 2 SNF Picks

The over/under on this Week 2 Sunday Night Football is set at 44.5 on BetMGM Sportsbook. I’m digging the over on this one for a few reasons:

• Even though the Patriots D held the Dolphins in check, the Seahawks have the second-highest rated offense according to Football Outsiders and will definitely get theirs as they did in Week 1.

• Seahawks usually have a huge edge on defense thanks to their fans but will have no home-field advantage this time around, thus far fewer decibels of noise.

• Cam Newton will have more time to gel with his castmates and will rely more on veteran WR Julian Edelman and James White out of the backfield to move the ball downfield

I do feel like the Seahawks will easily cover the spread, but the Patriots will score a few touchdowns and help blast past that 44.5 mark. I’m taking the over for this SNF totals prediction.
