3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 3

Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $5,400
Projections: 17.15 points allowed, 2.57 sacks, 2.32 turnovers, 0.26 touchdowns

While the Seattle Seahawks’ offense has sputtered through two games so far, scoring just 15 total points, their defense has been dominant as usual. Allowing just 19 total points in two weeks, they’ll get a juicy home matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Dating back to the beginning of 2014, when the Seahawks have played a divisional opponent at home, they’ve scored 10-plus FanDuel points 66 percent of the time. Now, granted, it’s a small sample size of just six games, but the Seahawks perform remarkably better at home than on the road.

In our projections, Seattle D/ST ranks number one in both points allowed and interceptions this week, giving them a great chance for a points allowed FanDuel bonus while racking up multiple turnovers.

With a Vegas total of just 40 points, which has already dropped two points since the line opened, the 49ers have the lowest implied team total on the board at just 15.25. The Seahawks are pricey this week at $5,400, but their upside is well worth the cost.
