NFL Best Bets & Odds: Week 7 Monday Night Football
New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks
Date: Monday, Oct. 25, 2021
Time: 8:15 p.m. EST
Venue: Lumen Field — Seattle, Wash.
Coverage: ESPN
Fresh off their bye week, the Saints will look to keep their offense playing well. While he was inefficient, last game was Jameis Winston’s highest yardage total of the season (279), throwing four touchdowns and an interception along the way. His favorite targets are Marquez Callaway and do-it-all running back Alvin Kamara. While Michael Thomas’ return should be coming soon, he will not be active tonight. Defensively this is a solid overall unit that can make any game ugly.
The Seahawks are still without Russell Wilson, so Geno Smith will get another start. Once past the name Geno Smith and the baggage that comes along with it, he has looked good thus far. Despite getting sacked five times last week, Smith completed nearly 72% of his passes for 209 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. Seattle’s top priority needs to be the pass protection tonight.

Saints vs. Seahawks NFL Best Bet
We are using the new Awesemo NFL Betting Model to figure out what the best bet for Monday Night Football is tonight. According to the model, betting the game total under 43.5 is the best bet to place, giving it an expected ROI of 4.4%. Both offenses seem to have a hard cap on their ceilings. Seattle’s offense does not have the deep shots with Smith at quarterback, and the offensive line is not particularly good. The Saints are making Winston as conservative as possible, leading to him learning what a checkdown is and making it his favorite pass this season. Whether it is strong defense or inefficient offense, this game could get sloppy, leading to the under hitting.
