The primary market here is the total, and the model leans Under 44.5 at SportsBet (1.90), with an edge of 3.8 points against that best line, a gap short of the double-digit threshold the model requires before week 6. Seattle is also priced at -3.5 in the market, and the model's own -3 line at PlayUp (1.77) shows only a 1.1-point edge, well inside the noise, so the spread sits at Pass. The model's read leans on Seattle's run game behind right guard grading well against New England's front, which supports the lower-scoring lean without pointing to a strong side on the number.

It's worth being upfront that there's no 2026 play-by-play in these ratings yet: Seattle and New England's numbers here are last season's figures blended with the market's post-offseason view of each roster and scaled for continuity, not fresh form. Historical early-season backtest claims are withheld from this display unless independently verified. The Under gap here is real but it's an edge short of the higher early-season bar, and the spread doesn't clear it at all.
