Week 1 NFL picks for Broncos vs. Seahawks

Before tuning into Sunday's Seahawks vs. Broncos game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model . The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 181-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 35-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

For Seahawks vs. Broncos, the model is backing Seattle to cover the spread . Geno Smith and the Seattle offense are well-acquainted, so they will have a leg-up on Sunday when it comes to ironing out any Week 1 wrinkles. The Seahawks will also have their home crowd behind them, and Lumen Field is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.

The Seahawks are already dealing with injuries heading into the regular season, and their offense will take a hit if Tyler Lockett's nagging thigh injury prevents him from playing. Even so, the model is leaning on Seattle to have the upper hand on both sides of the ball on Sunday, resulting in the Seahawks covering at home. You may be able to stream the game here .
