With the Seahawks already suffering an injury to a historically hesitant ground game, our NFL betting picks are excepting Pete Carroll & Co. to go all in on the passing game — and we expect Tyler Lockett to be the primary beneficiary.
The Seahawks have a blown tire in the run game with rookie RB Kenneth Walker hurt, leaving Rashad Penny as the team’s only true early-down running back. That could have Pete Carroll in a tough spot if the ground game can’t get going.
This offense didn’t even like the pass when it had Russell Wilson under center but considering the RB situation and the fact that Seattle could be playing from behind most of the game , the Seahawks will lean on Geno Smith and the passing playbook a lot more Monday night. His favorite target is WR Tyler Lockett, who will feature in the slot to cater to Smith’s lack of downfield pop . As my handsome Covers counterpartin his prop picks for MNF, Lockett was targeted on 13 of Smith’s 24 pass attempts in his last start against Jacksonville in 2021.
Lockett caught 12 of those balls – his busiest day of the entire season - and averaged 4.5 receptions per game in a very up-and-down 2021 campaign for the Seahawks. With a solid Broncos secondary taking away DK Metcalf and the Denver pass rush pushing around the Seahawks' awful offensive line, Smith will hear footsteps and hurry his throws to Lockett as a short pass pressure release.
