Broncos vs. Seahawks Betting Monday Night Football Week 1

Not long ago, Russell Wilson was the betting on NFL king of Seattle.  Specifically, as quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson led Seattle to the NFC championship in 2013 and 2014.  Seattle won the Super Bowl to top the 2013 campaign in glory.  But in 2014, coach Pete Carroll blew himself up.  Carroll threw away another title on a botched goal-line pass play.  Certainly, a run was a virtual guarantee to score.  Following that debacle, Carroll made his team more Wilson-centric at the expense of everything else.  The Seahawks were never the same.

Monday Night Football is over five decades old.  But it has been reinvigorated after ESPN switched its broadcast team this offseason.  Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were signed away from FOX.  They replace Steve Levy, Louis Riddick, and Brian Griese.  Thus, Buck and Aikman are breathing new life into the program.  The tandem of Buck and Aikman makes its regular season debut on Monday night in a highly anticipated game.  

Lumen Field rivals Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium for being the loudest in the NFL.  And everyone can expect plenty of top online sportsbook noise for Monday night’s season opener.  Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle will have everyone in an uproar.  In turn, Wilson wanted out of Seattle and was sent to the Denver Broncos.

Broncos Believe They Have the Final Super Piece   

Since their 2015 Super Bowl championship season with quarterback Peyton Manning, the Broncos have not made the playoffs.  Additionally, Denver is coming off five consecutive losing seasons.  Now Denver is on its fourth head coach since winning that last betting on football title.

Namely, Nathanial Hackett was hired as head coach from the Green Bay Packers.  Hackett was the offensive coordinator of the Packers for the past three seasons.  While at Green Bay, he worked with Aaron Rodgers, a great asset in building a resume.

Now, Hackett inherits another superstar quarterback in Russell Wilson.  Wilson, age 33, is relieved to be free of the burden of carrying a declining Seattle franchise.  Wilson is a 9-time Pro Bowler.  Including last year.  Wilson arrives at a Denver team rated high for its defensive personnel.  All the Broncos have needed for the past couple of years is a quarterback.  Now they have one.

Last week the Broncos and their new nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed on a contract extension.  The new deal is worth $245 million over five years.  Including $165 million in guarantees.  It was an impressive start for the Walton-Penner group.  They took over on August 9 and finished this deal within the first four weeks of ownership.  Indeed, Denver Bronco fans are a Mile High.

Seattle Fans Scream, “For Pete’s Sake, What Are You Doing?”

Last year the Seattle Seahawks’ formula of riding Russell Wilson until he dropped finally collapsed.  Seattle finished 7-10 and last in the NFC West.  Although the Seahawks went 12-4 in 2020, it was a mirage.  The Seahawks’ defense was defenseless after years of dramatic erosion.  The great irony is that head coach Pete Carroll made his NFL bets bones on the defensive side of the line.

Concurrently, Geno Smith has taken over the Seattle quarterback.  While former Broncos QB Drew Lock is the backup.  And that is not impressing the gambling community.  While Lock had a few moments with Denver and appeared to be the QB of their future, he flamed out badly in 2021.  Meanwhile, Geno Smith has never developed into a reliable NFL quarterback.
