Welcome to the part of August where NFL rosters get trimmed and offensive coordinators remember what "vanilla" means. The Seahawks roll into Nashville for a preseason Week 3 clash that screams punt-fest from the opening whistle.
Seattle managed a whopping seven points against Dallas in their last outing, and with Sam Darnold getting the night off, you're looking at third-stringers running a playbook designed not to reveal anything useful. Zach Charbonnet remains on PUP, so whatever offensive firepower Seattle might've had just got thinner. Tennessee's not exactly lighting up scoreboards either—19 points in their opener while Cam Ward and Will Levis duke it out for backup duties behind whoever wins the starting gig.
This is the week starters sit, schemes stay conservative, and both coaching staffs prioritize roster evaluation over entertainment value. The total sits at 37.5, which already acknowledges we're not getting fireworks, but even that feels generous given the context. Backup quarterbacks, limited playbooks, and zero incentive to show your hand before the regular season? That's a recipe for field position battles and clock-killing drives.
DarkHorse likes the under 37.5 with solid confidence, and frankly, it's hard to argue. Grab your popcorn and your pillow—this one's hitting the under before halftime.
