The Seattle Seahawks are set to host the Houston Texans for their Week 7 Monday Night Football clash, live from Lumen Field, Seattle. The Seahawks are 4-2 to start their season and rank 2nd in the competitive NFC West division. They are coming off a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and their new QB Sam Darnold has been thriving under second year head coach Mike Macdonald. Their defense has significantly improved this season, and so has their pass protection, which was a concern to start the season.
Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are 2-3 for the season and are riding a 2-game winning streak, beating the Titans in Week 4 and the Ravens in Week 5. They are fresh off a bye week and with C.J. Stroud leading the way, they are trying to climb up the division rankings after starting out 0-3 for the season.

If you’re looking for a complete guide to the best NFL betting sites, we’ve got you covered.
Sam Darnold has passing attempts over 29.5 only twice in this NFL season, and has had interceptions in both of those games that he crossed 29.5 attempts. The Texans rank 5th in passing defense, and 7th in rushing defense, which makes us believe that they are more vulnerable against the rushing game than passing, hence making this a safe bet.
Zach Charbonnet is a threat to score a TD at any given time, looking at the fact that he has that the Texans have shown some vulnerabilities against the running game. Charbonnet has scored three TDs this season and he is a red zone threat. With the Texans ranking 22nd in red zone defense, we expect the Seahawks to hand their RB more attempts in this game, making this a good bet.
The Texans are No. 1 in scoring defense, with the Seahawks not far behind at 6th. Both teams have been terrific defensively, with the Texans ranking 7th in rushing defense to Seahawks 2nd. While the Texans and Seahawks both have shown vulnerabilities like Texans’ red zone rankings and Seahawks’ passing defense at 24th, expect this game to be a low-scoring contest, with the game being decided on who can make more plays on the offense.
The Seahawks edge out the Texans in a hard-fought Monday night clash at Lumen Field. Seattle’s explosing passing attack, fueled by Sam Darnold’s sharp decision-making and precise throws, should overwhelm Houston’s secondary late in the game. While the Texans’ stout defense and C.J. Stroud’s poise may keep it close with opportunistic turnovers, Seattle’s home-field advantage and superior offensive rhythm should secure them the victory.
Prediction: Seahawks win the game 24-17
