Lorenzo Reyes: Saints 27, Seahawks 23
The uncertainty at quarterback makes this a complicated play. And while Geno Smith has been a revelation for Seattle, I still think New Orleans has a better roster. Its issue is avoiding unforced errors. I think the safe play here is the Saints winning, with the Seahawks covering a spread that is pretty generous in the first place.
Safid Deen: Seahawks 27, Saints 24
I’m on the Geno Smith train, whether Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston start for the Saints.
Lance Pugmire: Seahawks 27, Saints 24
With Geno Smith posting better numbers than Russell Wilson and Rashaad Penny emerging as a fantasy darling, Seattle is in a joyous place while New Orleans needs Jameis Winston to return from his back injury following its U.K. heartbreaker.
Jarrett Bell: Saints 23, Seahawks 20
Nate Davis: Seahawks 20, Saints 17
Tyler Dragon: Saints 26, Seahawks 21
