vs market (Earl \u2212 line)

Seattle grades out as the No. 3 team in the league at 4.81 points better than average on a neutral field, and that rating jumped 0.53 this week despite a strength of schedule sitting at -0.849, so this 3-2 record is better than it looks. The market is still pricing them about 1.25 points short of my number, which makes them a clear buy, especially with the rating already absorbing a 1.6-point dock for Zach Charbonnet and Chazz Surratt being out. A 26.8 points-per-game offense over the last five with a +5.8 point differential is real, so lay the points while the number stays soft.
