Disclaimer

These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

  • Over/Under: 47.5
  • Spread: Seahawks -1.5
  • Seahawks Implied Team Total: 24.5
  • Giants Implied Team Total: 23

The Seahawks are 1.5-point favorites despite playing on the road. This shows Vegas clearly believes Seattle is the better team. I agree. Captain considerations start with the Seahawks' offense in this one.

Injury Roundup

Captain Consideration:

  1. Geno Smith
  2. DK Metcalf
  3. Tyler Lockett
  4. Ken Walker III
  5. Daniel Jones

Seattle Seahawks

Quarterback

Geno Smith - Captain/Flex

Geno Smith leads a Seahawks offense that ranks fourth in EPA (Expected Points Added) per Play and sixth in Dropback EPA and has a phenomenal matchup on tap against a bad Giants defense that ranks 31st in EPA/Play Allowed, 30th in Dropback EPA Allowed, and 24th in Success Rate.
