The Buffalo Bills (5-2) and Seattle Seahawks (4-3) will kick off the Sunday afternoon slate of NFL Week 8. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET from Lumen Field in Seattle. The game will be broadcast on FOX and can be streamed on platforms like YouTube TV.
The Bills are consensus 3-point favorites over the Seahawks (Bills -3) with the game total set at 45.5. Buffalo is -161 on the moneyline to win outright, while Seattle is +135 to pull off the upset.
Buffalo won 34-10 over the Titans last week. Josh Allen threw for 323 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Buffalo outscored Tennessee 27-0 in the second half. The Seahawks won 34-14 over the Falcons. Geno Smith threw for 2 touchdowns but will be without DK Metcalf, who left the game with an injury and will be out this week.
Let's get into my Bills vs. Seahawks predictions and my NFL picks for Sunday Week 8.

Pick Against the Spread
The Bills are 5-2 overall and 4-3 against the spread (ATS), while the Seahawks are 4-3 but just 2-4-1 against the number.
We have an Action PRO trend that indicates this is a spot to fade the Bills against a Seahawks team that is likely due for some positive regression against the spread.
Over/Under Prediction
Using the Action Network Luck Rankings, the under was the play here. The high winds in the forecast for Sunday in Seattle will help the under's cause, as well. However, I was on this at Under 47, and it is now down to 45. I'd still bet this based on the trends, but just know you're not getting the best of the number anymore.
Moneyline
Our systems do not recommend a play on the moneyline here.
My picks: Seahawks +3 & Under 45.5
How to Bet Bills vs. Seahawks Picks and Odds
Both teams are coming off blowout wins last week, with the Bills winning by 24 over the Titans and the Seahawks impressing with a 20-point win on the road against the Falcons. Seattle needed that win, having lost three straight by at least nine points, the last two of which were at home. Buffalo leads the AFC East at 5-2 and has covered in four of its last six games.
If you’re into betting luck and regression, then here are two picks: Seahawks +3 and the under.
One of our NFL PRO Systems in Action Labs popped with a play on Seattle against the spread – or should I say, a fade of Buffalo?
The Bills are unfortunately a match for a trend labeled “Fade Covering Teams.” If teams covering the spread by more than five points per game play a team with a winning percentage below 60%, the team which is outperforming market expectations only covers the spread 44% of the time. This trend activates in Week 5 and beyond, highlighting the Bills, who are covering the spread by more than a touchdown per game.
Meanwhile, Buffalo-Seattle under the total is a match for our own Nick Giffen’s Luck Rankings. (Check out all of his Week 8 picks here.)
To round out the stance on Bills vs. Seahawks under, our High Winds PRO System (profitable over the long haul in weather games) notes significant weather elements Sunday in Seattle.
Pick: Seahawks +3 & Under 45.5
