In his first season with the Denver Broncos, Wilson will face the Seattle Seahawks, the team he spent the past 10 seasons with, on Monday Night Football. 

Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the Broncos-Seahawks game, from the point spread, moneyline, total over/under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet):

Pick by betting analyst Sam Panayotovich:

This is the Monday night game?!

Russell Wilson returns to Seattle, and that’s literally the only thing that excites me about this game. That said, I am interested to see how Pete Carroll defends Wilson because no organization knows his tendencies better.

Denver opened -3.5 several months ago, and that line is getting closer and closer to Broncos -7. The Seahawks are starting two rookies at offensive tackle, which could be a disaster against a stingy Broncos defense. One thing is for sure, every sportsbook will be rooting for a Seahawks cover by the time the game kicks off.

If you’re looking for fireworks, you’re in the wrong place.  

PICK: Under 44.5 points scored by both teams combined at FOX Bet
