This leaves little doubt as to where the largest-sized wagers are landing in this matchup.

Model Projections

Our Fade Covering Teams PRO System, which finds value by fading teams overvalued in the market, pegs Minnesota as a match for tonight's game against Seattle.

This system has a 315-246-17 (56%) against-the-spread win rate since 2005, providing some reasoning as to why the sharps are so heavy on the road underdog.
