The Seattle Seahawks have been slow starters in recent seasons and 2015 is no different, but Pete Carroll and company are looking more like their old selves after collecting four wins in their last five games ahead of Week 13’s road tilt with the Minnesota Vikings.
The ‘Hawks were one of the worst bets in the league in the Sportsbook two months of the season but have since rebounded, covering the spread against both the 49ers and Steelers in the last two weeks.
- The Vikings are 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games after winning as an underdog.
- The total has gone UNDER in nine of the Seahawks' last 10 games in December.
- The total has gone UNDER in the Seahawks' last four games on the road against the Vikings.
For the first time in quite a while the Vikings sit atop of the NFC North at 8-3 SU thanks to the implosion of their rivals in Green Bay. The Vikes have also been the league’s top UNDER team, as the OVER/UNDER has gone 1-9-1 this season.
