Chiefs vs. Seahawks odds: Chiefs open as 1.5-point underdogs against defending champs

The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, currently holding a 5-0 record, will travel to face the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 7 matchup scheduled for Sunday Night Football. This contest marks the first time this season that the Chiefs have opened as betting underdogs, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing Seattle as a 1.5-point favorite despite the Seahawks' 3-3 record and recent back-to-back losses.

A key storyline involves running back Kenneth Walker, who is returning to Seattle after helping the team win Super Bowl LX last year; he currently leads the NFL in rushing with 665 yards through five games. The Chiefs enter this game following a bye week and a decisive 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, remaining the only undefeated team in the AFC.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks benefit from a rest advantage because their previous loss to the Denver Broncos took place on a Thursday night.
