Saints vs Seahawks NFL Pick: Seattle Hosts 0-2 Saints in Week 3 (Sep 21)

• The Saints came up short against the 49ers, falling to 0-2 after a 26-21 defeat.
• Seattle surged past the Steelers in Pittsburgh, beating them by a score of 31-17.
• These teams last met on October 9, 2022, in a game that the Saints won 39-32.

The 0-2 Saints head to Seattle this week, aiming to avoid an 0-3 start. They’ve kept things close in the first two weeks, but are struggling to close games out. That gives Seattle the advantage at home in this clash.

Saints Still Looking for First Win

New Orleans competed well against the 49ers on Sunday, but fell to 0-2 nonetheless. Coming into this season with expectations of a rebuild, there have been times when the Saints and QB Spencer Rattler have already looked better than expected. That being said, they will fall to 0-3 unless they find a way to defeat the Seahawks in Seattle. 1st-year head coach Kellen Moore will continue to work on New Orleans’ rebuild.

Seahawks Aim to Clamp Down at Home

Seattle bounced back in their Week 2 win over the Steelers, particularly on offense. They wore down a usually stringent Steelers defense, scoring 31 yards in the process. It was a much improved game for QB Sam Darnold, though he did still throw two interceptions. The win was largely due to the talent of the Seahawks’ key players. RB Kenneth Walker and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba both tallied 100+ yards in the win.

Saints vs Seahawks NFL Pick

The Saints and Seahawks already have a common opponent this season, the 49ers. Both teams hosted San Francisco, with the Saints losing by 5 and the Seahawks by 4. While this doesn’t mean that they are evenly matched, it does illustrate that New Orleans has played more competitively than expected. Seattle has a large enough advantage to win this one at home, but the Saints may keep it within one score once again.
