Overview
- The Week 6 Thursday Night Football game is tonight between the 3-2 Seattle Seahawks and the 3-2 Denver Broncos, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET and streaming on Prime Video.
- Broncos coach Sean Payton has resumed play-calling in the short week, a tactical change made to try to fix Denver’s inconsistent offensive production.
- Seattle’s offense is weakened by the absences of top running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, forcing a heavier reliance on Sam Darnold and the passing game.
- Turnovers are a central concern for Seattle because Darnold has thrown five interceptions this season, and Denver’s uncertain status for cornerback Patrick Surtain II could alter how the Broncos match up with Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
- Betting markets list Seattle about a 2.5-point favorite with an over/under near 40.5, and a SportsLine model that ran 10,000 simulations leans to the Under, projecting roughly 40 combined points.
