It’s time to continue our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">NFL odds series</a> and make a Saints-Seahawks prediction and pick.</p><p>The Saints and Seahawks may be heading in opposite directions as they head into this Week 7 matchup on Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are still without star quarterback Russell Wilson, and sit in last place in the NFC West at 2-4. The Saints are 3-2, and return a few key players coming off their bye week. Defensive starters Kwon Alexander and Marcus Davenport are on track to return in Week 7, as is starting left tackle Terron Armstead. The Seahawks meanwhile will be without standout running back Chris Carson in addition to the absence of Wilson.</p><p>Here’s how the <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">bookmakers</a> have set the Saints-Seahawks odds for this Monday matchup.</p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Saints-Seahawks Odds</b></h2><p>New Orleans Saints -4.5 (-114), +220 ML</p><p>Seatle Seahawks +4.5 (-106), +184 ML</p><p>Over 42.5 points (-106)</p><p>Under 42.5 points (-114)</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (Click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Saints Can Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Saints opened as a little big bigger favorites, and you can see why. The Seahawks may have their work cut out for them with Geno Smith vs. a strong New Orleans defense. Alvin Kamara should be able to feast on a subpar Seahawks defense, while Jameis Winston is a bit of a wild card in the passing game. The Saints are the better and healthier team in this matchup, and if they take care of the ball, they should not have much of an issue taking control of this game with a win and a cover over a reeling Seahawks group.</p><h2><b>Why The Seahawks Can Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Seahawks don’t have a lot of reasons to cover, but one might be their wide receivers. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are healthy, and always a tough cover for any opposing defense. If the Seahawks can protect Smith vs. the Saints defensive front (big if), Smith might be able to hang in the pocket and find his talent receivers for big plays down the field. It will be difficult for the Seahawks to sustain drives without their top running back Carson, so it will be important that Seattle hits big plays throughout the game if they are going to put up a decent amount of points.</p><h2><b>Final Seahawks-Saints</b><b> </b><b>Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Saints are an easy choice here. They aren’t a lock, but taking them to cover the spread feels safe here. The Seahawks have struggled since in the injuries to Wilson and Carson, and the Saints get a few of their key players back coming off of a bye week. Despite being on the road, New Orleans should be at an advantage on Monday night in Seattle vs. the Seahawks.</p><p><b>FINAL SEAHAWKS-SAINTS PREDICTION &amp; PICK: Saints -4.5 (-106)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both teams are fielding in new quarterbacks at the moment which is why the Seahawks-Saints matchup will be an exciting tilt for everyone. In this post, we’ll be making our Seahawks Week 7 predictions.</p><p>With Russell Wilson still out due to a finger injury, backup QB Geno Smith will have to deliver, especially after suffering a tight loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Meanwhile, their opponents led by Jameis Winston are coming off a solid win over the Washington Football Team and will aim to secure another convincing victory, this time in Seattle.</p><p>Here are Seahawks Week 7 predictions.</p><h2><b>Seahawks Week 7 Predictions</b></h2><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><p><b>4. The Seahawks’ defense steps up against Jameis Winston and the rest of the Saints’ offense. </b><b> </b></p><p>In the 2021 season, it is evident that the Seahawks’ defense is still a step slow and has yet to reach its full potential midway through their campaign. The league’s highest-paid safety in Jamal Adams has yet to prove that he deserves the huge paycheck as he continues to struggle on the field.</p><p>However, with their backs against the wall with a 2-4 record, the Seahawks defense must already find a way to turn things around. All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner is expected to be a major contributor and contribute to limiting Winston who is armed with an excellent pass-protection around him.</p><p>Aside from the opposing quarterback, the defense must also keep an eye on RB Alvin Kamara who has been productive this season. With his two-way play, not only is he dealing damage on the ground game but is also serving as a major threat on the receiving attack.</p><p>Defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. and his men will definitely have their hands full as they go up against a Saints offense that can quickly put up points on the board. They will definitely have to play at their best if they want to contain their opponents and prevent them from scoring as much as possible come Monday.</p><p><b>3. Backups Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer, and Deejay Dallas will all combine for at least 100 rushing yards.</b></p><p>The Seahawks currently have a shallow depth in the running back position without RB1 Chris Carson who is still on the team’s injured reserve list. Another rusher in Alex Collins has been leading the way over the past few games but he is also expected to be out against the Saints due to a groin injury.</p><p>His absence will be a huge hit to the running back room as he recently produced 101 yards on 20 carries and a scoring drive against the Steelers last week. Luckily for the Seahawks, Rashaad Penny is already expected to return in time for Week 7 after missing several games due to a calf injury.</p><p>Their other backups in Travis Homer and Deejay Dallas are also poised to play bigger roles and shoulder heavier loads on offense against the Saints. Expectations for the rushing trio will surely be tempered but the Seahawks will welcome any contribution that they may get from them, given the RB room’s injury situation.</p><p>If they manage to get momentum early in the game then it might not be a reach for all of them to combine for at least 100 rushing yards against the Saints.</p><p><b>2. Tyler Lockett will lead the receiving attack for Seattle.</b></p><p>Over the past weeks, WR Tyler Lockett has always been Russell Wilson’s most preferred target, especially as a deep threat on the field. However, things slightly changed when their QB1 was sidelined with Geno Smith taking over the playmaking duties for the meantime.</p><p>In Week 6 against the Steelers, DK Metcalf led the way with 58 yards on six catches while Lockett was limited to only 35 yards on two receptions. With the former still battling a foot injury and missing a couple of practices over the past week, the latter is expected to be at the forefront and receive more passes against the Saints.</p><p>The Seahawks will definitely count on Lockett’s contributions to the scoring department as they aim to put up points across the board and keep up against a dangerous Saints offense in Week 7.</p><p><b>1. The Seahawks suffer a narrow loss against the Saints and drop to a 2-5 record.  </b></p><p>Certainly enough, the Seahawks <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2021-fantasy-football-week-7-start-em-sit-em-quarterbacks/" rel="noopener">haven’t been playing</a> at their best with their current 2-4 record being an indicator of more room for improvement. Without Wilson and a few other players, the team will have to exert more effort on both ends of the field in order to finally end their two-game losing streak.</p><p>At this point, the Saints are seemingly healthier and more intact as compared to the Seahawks and thus have a better chance of winning their Week 7 matchup. Pete Carroll and his squad will surely put up a fight but it will surely take a lot in order for them to overcome the odds and grab an upset win over the Saints.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hoping to build on their strong performance against the Washington Football Team a few weeks back, the Saints will be ready to overtake the undermanned Seahawks and come away with another crucial win. In this specific post, we’ll be making our Saints Week 7 predictions.</p><p>As they aim to deny the Bucs of another division title, every game is a must win for the New Orleans Saints from here on out. Now that New Orleans has shown that they’ve still got the skill and will to keep pace in the top-heavy NFC, they’ll look to continue this wave of success against Seattle on Monday night.</p><p>Let’s now take a look at our Saints Week 7 predictions.</p><h2><b>New Orleans Saints Week 7 Predictions</b></h2><p><i><b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408">*Watch &amp; DVR Football Live | fuboTV</a>*</b></i></p><p><b>4. Jameis Winston will have another big day for the Saints </b></p><p>After a dominant showing against the Washington Football Team a few weeks back, Jameis Winston is aiming to put up big numbers once again when the Saints face-off against the undermanned Seahawks on Monday night. With a few strong performances under his belt already, Winston will be refreshed and ready to do some serious damage in Week 7.</p><p>As he continues to shine this season, Winston and the Saints offense will have a potent game plan in place to counter an eager Seattle defense that’s looking to take their game up a notch during what’s set to be an exciting showdown. So come Monday night, Winston will be gunning for the Seahawks and looking to post some eye-popping stats.</p><p><b>3. Pete Werner, Malcolm Jenkins, and Demario Davis will lead the way for the Saints defense</b></p><p>Coming off a productive game against the Washington Football Team, Pete Werner, Malcolm Jenkins, and Demario Davis are hoping to repeat this success against the Seahawks on Monday. Hoping to make some big plays from the get-go, this multi-skilled trio will be working tirelessly to make things difficult for Geno Smith and the Seahawks offense.</p><p>Cam Jordan and Marshon Lattimore will also be looking to have big games with Werner, Jenkins, and Davis setting the tone for the Saints deep and talented defensive unit. Heading into their primetime match-up on Monday, the Saints will be ready to have another strong defensive showing against the struggling Seahawks.</p><p><b>2. Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill will have a productive game for New Orleans </b></p><p>After both players had a relatively quiet day for the Saints in Week 5, there’s no denying that Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill will be firing right out of the gates in Week 7 as they look to create all kinds of miscues for the Seattle defense. With a ton of football still left to play, Kamara and Hill are looking to establish some momentum and have a big game against the Seahawks.</p><p>As two of the league’s most skilled <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2021-fantasy-football-week-7-start-em-sit-em-quarterbacks/" rel="noopener">offensive players</a>, there’s no denying that Kamara and Hill will be a vital part of the Saints game plan. With head coach Sean Payton’s versatile offensive game plan, it can definitely be expected that Kamara and Hill will have a career day against the Seahawks.</p><p><b>1. The New Orleans Saints will come away with another pivotal win in Week 7 </b></p><p>Hoping to follow-up with another big win in Week 7, the Saints are primed for another big performance against the sinking Seahawks. With Russell Wilson set to be out for a while, the Saints are at an advantage even with Geno Smith holding down the fort for Seattle. As the Saints look to continually re-establish their momentum and their streak of NFC South division titles, Monday nights match-up will be an important game for them as they hope to knock off another playoff hopeful.</p><p>Working to stay competitive in the top-heavy NFC, the New Orleans Saints will have to do all they can to come away with a must-win game that could put them within one game of the top spot in the NFC South. Now that they’re ready to take things up a few notches and put the hurt on Seattle, New Orleans will be bringing the heat on Monday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We’ll see how it plays out, as Pittsburgh plays in a tough AFC North division. For that reason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-packers-takeaways-from-week-6-win-over-bears/">we’re going to evaluate</a> the Steelers-Seahawks game with our Steelers Week 6 takeaways.</p><p>The Steelers were able to squeak out a victory over a hobbled Seahawks team, but it was a big win for this franchise. It keeps Pittsburgh in the playoff race as they currently have a 3-3 record. If they hope to remain at the top of the rankings in the AFC, the team must generate consistent scoring from the offense.</p><p>Although he didn’t find much running room, Najee Harris has proven to be a reliable running back in his rookie year so far. His involvement in the passing game has given the Steelers something they can rely on. Additionally, rookie Pat Freiermuth showed off his skills, and Ben Roethlisberger seemed much more comfortable in the pocket. With that said, here are three Steelers’ Game 6 takeaways from their matchup versus the Seahawks.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (Click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2>Steelers Week 6 Takeaways</h2><p><b>3. Najee Harris is legit</b></p><p>He ended the day with 81 rushing yards off of 24 carries, which wasn’t all that spectacular. However, Najee Harris <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-najee-harris-drops-truth-bomb-on-jamal-adams-after-owning-the-seahawks/">provides consistency in the passing game as well</a>, making him a versatile weapon for Pittsburgh. His six receptions for 46 yards ranked him as the third most productive receiver, and Harris reeled in the only touchdown reception on the day.</p><p>It’s clear that Najee Harris plays a vital role in the Steelers’ success. If the offensive line improves their run blocking, the rookie running back could make a massive leap in production. Even so, it’s clear the Steelers will rely on Harris for the remainder of the season, and for years to come.</p><p><b>2. Pat Freiermuth proved he can be a consistent pass option</b></p><p>With Juju Smith-Schuster gone, it was speculated that Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool would receive a larger workload. Instead, Pat Freiermuth stepped up and played as Ben Roethlisberger’s second favorite target on the day.</p><p>Typically it takes a while for rookie tight ends to get acclimated to the professional level, but Freiermuth has been developing quickly. He’s a versatile tight end who can help with blocking as well. Due to Freiermuth’s performance so far, it’s safe to say he’s now the starting tight end over Eric Ebron.</p><p><b>1. Ben Roethlisberger got the job done despite his early struggles</b></p><p>Big Ben isn’t the same quarterback he used to be, but he stepped up when the Steelers needed him to on Sunday. It helped that Seattle’s secondary is one of the worst in the league. However, Roethlisberger finished with 229 yards through the air and a touchdown pass. It was just enough for the Steelers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pittsburgh-qb-ben-roethlisberger-draws-ultimate-praise-from-pete-carroll/">to clinch the win in overtime</a>.</p><p>This is the type of play from Roethlisberger the Steelers need if they hope to remain competitive. The AFC is a tightly contested race at the moment, so Pittsburgh has to play their best if they want to make it to the postseason. The team has a bye in Week 7, so this is a great opportunity for Big Ben and the Steelers to rest up for their Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, it appears Taylor has avoided a major injury and could even make a miraculous return for Week 7’s Monday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints.</p><p>So says Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, who gave an update on Taylor’s status Monday night, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32426517/seattle-seahawks-pete-carroll-says-follow-tests-injured-darrell-taylor-come-back-clear" rel="noopener">via ESPN’s Brady Henderson:</a></p><blockquote>“A really, really positive report,” Carroll said. “His MRI stuff was clear. His CT scan stuff was clear. He does not have a neck injury. He got jammed pretty good. We got to wait and see what it’s like. It may be a little bit more in his shoulder even as we figure it out.”</blockquote><p><i><b>*Watch the NFL LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><p>As for the Seahawks’ Monday night game:</p><blockquote>“We’ll see how that goes,” Carroll said. “He’s got to have a good week to do that. I haven’t talked to Darrell since the MRI stuff came back. I talked to him last night … and he was very positive about it and all that. So we’ll see what happens. But a really, really good report, and I know a lot of people were really upset about that (Taylor being hurt) for good reason. Whenever they take a guy off like that, the threat is so huge. Anyway, he came out great, so we’ll hope for the best and he may have a chance to go this week.”</blockquote><p>Taylor suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss and was down on the field for several minutes before he was immobilized on a stretcher and taken off the field. He still had his helmet on, but his face mask was removed.</p><p>It’s great to hear that Taylor is doing well and hasn’t suffered a major injury. This was a scary sight for the Seahawks when it happened, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And Pete explained it – they always do this. They talk to everyone that they think can help them. My understanding is the Seahawks will keep tabs on Cam Newton but nothing has materialized here. They are putting their faith in Geno Smith. He will start again on Monday night against the Saints.”</blockquote><p>Any quarterback signing made by the Seahawks would simply be a stopgap measure as they anxiously await the return of Russell Wilson. As someone who isn’t at all used to missing games, Wilson has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-russell-wilsons-realistic-timetable-to-return-from-finger-surgery/">been doing all he can</a> to get back on the field sooner rather than later.</p><p>Cam Newton has also made it clear that he is weighing several options to determine the best possible situation going forward.

With star quarterback Russell Wilson out injured and Geno Smith doing all he can to keep the team afloat, there are some tough challenges that <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32426517/seattle-seahawks-pete-carroll-says-follow-tests-injured-darrell-taylor-come-back-clear">lie ahead for Seattle. </a></p><p>Now that the Seahawks have some adjustments to make prior to their Monday showdown with the Saints, they are hoping to right the ship and get back to their winning ways.</p><p>If anything’s certain, it’s that the Seahawks need to make some serious changes if they want to make it back to the playoffs this season. Coming off a close loss to the Steelers, let’s take a look at the two biggest takeaways for the Seahawks after their brutal Week 6.</p><h2><b>Seahawks have gotten stronger contributions from their defense</b></h2><p>Despite their tough loss this past weekend, the Seahawks got a strong effort from their defense that made a few critical stops and allowed their offense to make some big plays that would eventually send the game into overtime. Although they couldn’t convert and gain any momentum in OT, their defense still came through and provided them with the boost they needed to get back into the game.</p><p>With big performances from Bobby Wagner, DJ Reed, and Jordyn Brooks, the Seahawks were able to slow down the Steelers’ high-flying offense and turn things around late in the game. They couldn’t keep this up in overtime, but they showed signs of improvement from previous weeks and though they still have a ways to go, big performances from their star defensive players are a good sign for them moving forward. If they want any chance at beating the Saints next week, then they’ll need some stellar playmaking from these guys.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith has been solid  </b></h2><p>He’s no Russell Wilson, but he has kept them competitive in every game he’s been under center and put up decent numbers in each of the last two games. They still have some work to do on offense if they want to pull out a few wins with Smith running the show at quarterback, but he’s off to a solid start and things can only go up from here.</p><p>With his poise and persistence in the pocket, Smith has shown his ability to keep Seattle’s offense efficient and productive as they look to continually make tweaks and adjustments to their offensive game plan. Hoping to come away with their third win of the season against the Saints, Smith will have to take his game up a few notches as the Seahawks aim to get back in the win column next Monday night.</p><p>Now that Wilson is expected to miss the next three games at the very least, Smith will have to do all he can to get better each game and make sure the Seahawks don’t take a free fall and lose their footing. Especially considering that they’re already playing in the most competitive division in the NFL. As he seeks to get his first win as Seattle’s starting quarterback next week, Smith will need to have more than a solid game for the Seahawks in their pivotal Week 7 matchup against New Orleans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There likely isn’t a perfect situation out there for Newton to be waiting around for so if he has a few offers, one would imagine he’d snatch it up. Perhaps the Seahawks are one of those teams.</p><p>Meanwhile, Smith started Sunday night for the Seahawks in their 23-20 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Smith played fine going <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401326421">23 of 32 for 209 yards and a touchdown</a>. He had a super costly fumble that put the Steelers in field goal range in overtime, an opportunity they would convert on.</p><p>It’s anyone’s guess at this point as to whether or not the Seahawks will stick it out with Smith or bring in more competition with Wilson out. It’s a tough spot for Smith to be and given the circumstances, he has played well. Seattle however, might view Newton as a big upgrade.</p><p>The Seahawks have another primetime matchup in Week 7 when they welcome in the New Orleans Saints to Seattle on Monday Night Football. As of now, Smith will be under center.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After all, being stretchered off usually suggests the injury is serious. The Seahawks players’ reactions also showed visible concern for their teammate.</p><p>However, according to Carroll, Taylor would have been capable of getting back on his own had the medical staff not stopped him in a precautionary measure. Apparently, the second-year man was “so mad” he had to be stretchered.</p><blockquote>“He wanted to get up,” Carroll said, per <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/10/18/pete-carroll-preliminary-ct-scans-on-darrell-taylor-were-clear/" rel="noopener">Pro Football Talk</a>. “They just wouldn’t let him do it because they had to do all the secure methods to take care of him and all that. Man, he didn’t want any part of that.”</blockquote><p>As for Darrell Taylor’s injury, Pete Carroll noted that initial CT scans were “clear,” which is a positive sign for the former second-round pick. However, the Seahawks coach noted that they will have to conduct more tests to fully assess his condition.</p><blockquote>“That’s a really good preliminary report for you. There’s more tests to be done and stuff like that. So we’re thrilled about that news,” Carroll added.</blockquote><p>While the Seahawks lost to the Steelers in OT, 23-20, it’s certainly the least of their worries now as the injury bug continues to bite them. Hopefully, Taylor won’t need to miss time and recover quickly from his latest setback.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But it’s clearly been a while since his last start, and even longer since he was an actual full-time starter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">When Seattle plays in Pittsburgh tonight, Seahawks’ quarterback Geno Smith will make his first NFL start in 1413 days – almost four years. <a href="https://t.co/SxqukKwPbL" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/SxqukKwPbL</a></p><p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1449681027492941824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">October 17, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>But the Seahawks backup shrugged off any worries of rust or ill-preparation.</p><p><a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/seahawks-qb-geno-smith-remains-grounded-ahead-of-first-start-since-2017-i-m-fres">Via</a> NFL Network:</p><blockquote>“Nah man, I’m fresh,” Smith said. “I feel like I’m 21 years old. I’m ready!”</blockquote><p>Smith reiterates that he’s started a handful of preseason games and has mentally prepared as if he was a starter. Keeping that mindset has enabled him to be more ready to take on the temporary starter mantle for the Seahawks.</p><blockquote>“First and foremost, my first start in a little bit, but I always played in the preseason and I’ve started them,” Smith said. “So, it’s not like I haven’t been playing football at all. The difference is now, it’s physical reps. I’m getting all the reps. You always take mental reps and prepare that way, but this is about physical preparation as well, more than just the mental side of playing quarterback. This week was different because I’m taking physical reps, as well.”</blockquote><p>The Seattle Seahawks are at a critical juncture in their season. At 2-3, taking on more losses with Russell Wilson out <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-seattle-makes-big-qb-move-after-russell-wilson-finger-injury/">could spell doom</a> for their playoff aspirations. If Geno Smith can rack up a few wins in his stead, it’ll go a long way in keeping their postseason hopes alive.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The superstar QB is irreplaceable, and while Seattle knows that, they sure just can’t give up.</p><p>For what it’s worth, Smith did pretty decently when he took over for Wilson following his injury during their Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams. He threw for 131 yards on 10-of-17 pass completion for one touchdown. The Seahawks still ended up losing 26-17, but the team can only take anything positive given their current dilemmas.</p><p>As for Luton, he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020 after being drafted in the sixth round of the same year. The second-year QB did have some starting experience with the Jags, albeit on a poor 0-3 record with two touchdowns and six interceptions.</p><p>Wilson recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-russell-wilsons-2-word-message-after-finger-surgery/" rel="noopener">underwent surgery</a> to address his finger injury. He is expected to be out for at least four to eight weeks, which means the Seahawks must rely on Smith and Luton to keep them afloat until their star signal-caller returns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
