Against the Spread Pick
If you accept the assumption that the Vikings have reached their peak in the market, this feels like a perfect spot to fade Minnesota.
I'm grabbing the points with the Seahawks.
Moneyline
While I like Seattle against the spread, I'm not betting the Seahawks on the moneyline.
Over/Under
I see no value on the total in this matchup.
My Pick: Seahawks +3 (-115)

Vikings vs Seahawks Preview & Prediction
Is Week 16 the right spot to fade the Vikings?
In treating teams like assets, Minnesota may be at its peak of the market. The Vikings have won seven straight, but their strength of schedule is questionable.
The Vikings have two wins over the hapless Bears, victories over the Jaguars, Titans and Colts, and a recent blowout against a Falcons team that may not be as legit as consensus.
In Week 16, the Vikings were actually alerted as a smart team to bet against by a 56%-winning PRO System.
This particular betting model sheds light on teams Week 5 and beyond, covering the spread by a bunch, and against teams the public may not view as competitive.
This actually seems like a good spot for the Seahawks, who are playing back-to-back home games, with the rest advantage.
Our own Evan Abrams found quarterback Sam Darnold struggles on short rest, posting just a 2-6-1 clip against the spread.
Minnesota’s in a bit of a sandwich spot, fresh off a primetime game and division foe Green Bay on deck.
If there were ever a time for the Vikings to slip up before the stakes climb, it may be Sunday’s road game in sleepy Seattle.
The forecast is cold, potential rainy and gloomy, which doesn’t bode well for a dome team. Grabbing the points is attractive.
My Pick: Seahawks +3 (-115)
