Seahawks Host Buccaneers With Seattle Favored as Tampa Bay's Injuries Loom

Injuries cloud Tampa Bay's lineup, putting availability in focus before kickoff.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET at Lumen Field, with national coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
  • DraftKings lists Seattle as a 3.5-point favorite with a total near 44.5.
  • Tampa Bay enters with key question marks, including Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and Bucky Irving, after multiple players missed practice time this week.
  • The Buccaneers have leaned on the pass with eight touchdown throws and only one rushing score through four games, while Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba ranks second in receiving yards.
  • Form and forecasts diverge: Seattle has won three straight but only two of its past nine at home, and picks split between CBS favoring Seahawks -3.5 and Racing Post seeing value on Buccaneers +3.5.
