The Saints have started on a terrible note this season, winning only once in four games. Their only win (27-26) came in Game 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. After that, they lost to the Buccaneers (20-10), Panthers (22-14), and Vikings (28-25). The offense has been terrible, as the team averages only 16-17 points per game.
Seattle, meanwhile, has also had their ups and downs so far this season. After winning their first game against the Denver Broncos (17-16), they faced a heavy defeat (27-7) against the San Francisco 49ers. The Atlanta Falcons in Game 3 beat them 27-23. In a high-scoring close game, the Seahawks beat the Detroit Lions 48-45.
The offense doesn't seem to be a problem for the Seahawks. Their defense has leaked a lot of points, though. They have been conceding more than what they are scoring. However, Seattle will fancy their chances against a struggling Saints team.

Seattle Seahawks vs New Orleans Saints: Pick
There is a lot of talent in both teams, even if they are struggling. Jameis Winston has tried his best to let the Saints' offense flow, but the defense has let them down.
Even if the Seahawks are playing away, their offense could create a rukcus in New Orleans' defense. Genno Smith, along with Rashaad Penny, could be a handful for the Saints.
Pick: Seahawks Spread +5.5 (-110)
Seattle Seahawks vs New Orleans Saints: Prediction
