Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill

This might be the trickiest game of the year to handicap, as this is the first game I can remember all season where we weren’t sure who was playing quarterback for either team.

Jalen Hurts was downgraded on Sunday to “questionable” with an illness, and flew to Seattle separately from the rest of the team.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith missed last week’s game with a groin injury, and is also questionable.

We could be looking at Marcus Mariota vs. Drew Lock, or we could get Hurts vs. Smith.

With that being said, who knows if either starter is healthy, or even playing. If the QBs are out, points should be hard to come by — let’s go Under in a game riddled with uncertainty.

PICK: Under 45 points scored by both teams combined
