3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 16

Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $5,000
Projections: 16.56 points allowed, 3.04 sacks, 2.78 turnovers, 0.46 touchdowns

The top-ranked defense in our projections this week is the Seattle D/ST, and they are another fantastic option for Saturday’s main slate.

Vegas -- specifically early bettors -- are looking at a dominant performance from Seattle in Week 16. Now 8-point favorites, the line has already moved 1.5 points in Seattle’s favor since it opened, and the total has dropped by a point. As a result, Arizona’s already low team total has plummeted 1.25 points and currently sits at 17.5 for Saturday’s matchup in Seattle.

Arizona has played six games on the road this season, and the results haven’t been pretty. Opposing defenses are averaging 13.2 FanDuel points per game in these spots, including two outings of at least 20 FanDuel points.

Since the beginning of 2014, when a defense is a home favorite by more than a touchdown and playing a divisional team for the second time in a season, they’ve reached cash game value 66 percent of the time.

The Seahawks are just as good of an option as the Patriots, and their ceiling may be slightly higher due to the Cardinals’ road struggles, making them an ideal tournament play.
