Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks: Sam Darnold Over 179.5 Passing Yards (Alt) (-345)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Denver Broncos' defense has struggled against tight ends, allowing nearly half a touchdown per game last season. This could open up opportunities for Sam Darnold, especially since he might face some extra rushers, but the Broncos' pass coverage isn't the strongest. In contrast, the Seattle Seahawks' defense has been solid against running backs, which means Darnold will likely need to rely on his passing game to move the ball effectively.
Betting on Darnold to throw over 179.5 passing yards makes sense here. He's been rated as a strong favorite to clear this mark, and with the Broncos' weaknesses in mind, it looks promising. The biggest risk is if Denver's pass rush can really disrupt his rhythm, but if he finds his flow, he should hit the target.
