When the Denver Broncos face off against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday afternoon, fans will see plenty of new faces on both teams. Denver will start rookie quarterback Bo Nix, as head coach Sean Payton aims to improve the Broncos' offense in his second season. Last year, Denver struggled offensively, averaging just 21 points per game.

Meanwhile, Seattle retains their starting quarterback from last season but undergoes a significant change in the coaching staff. Former Ravens' Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald takes over as head coach with the primary goal of bolstering a defense that allowed nearly 24 points per game last season, ranking near the bottom in the NFL. Denver ended the 2023 season with an 8-9 record, while Seattle posted a 9-8 record, with neither team making the playoffs.

Brad Thomas from NBC Sports (@MrBradThomas) points out several unknowns, such as Denver's new quarterback and Seattle's new coaching staff, making him cautious about betting on this game. Last season's team stats indicate Seattle was 5-3 overall and 3-4-1 ATS at home, with a 5-3 record for the OVER in home games. Denver was 6-10-1 ATS and 4-4 to the OVER on the road.

In the quarterback matchup, Denver's Bo Nix, a Heisman finalist in 2023, will face Seattle's Geno Smith, who completed 64.7% of his passes last year, throwing for 3,624 yards with 20 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. Player injuries include Seattle's WR Tyler Lockett, who is questionable with a thigh issue, and LB Uchenna Nwosu, who is out with a knee injury. Denver will miss LB Drew Sanders due to an Achilles injury.
