The Seattle Seahawks are waking up with an opportunity to win their second straight game going into their bye week as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.

The Week 10 contest will mark Drew Lock's third start of the season for the team. Lock beat the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 and Week 9, but now he gets a chance to start against the Raiders, whom he has faced off against four times throughout his career.

Lock is 1-3 all-time against the Raiders, having played against them four times as the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. The last time he faced the Raiders was in 2021, when he threw 15 of 22 passes for 153 yards.

Here's a look at what experts around the internet have predicted for the game.

Final Prediction

Out of the 30 analysts we tracked across the internet, 27 believe the Seahawks are walking away from this one victorious. Given that the Raiders are playing with rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, this will be a difficult one for them to get. Seattle has the league's best defense, and they should be bringing the pressure for the No. 1 overall pick.

Score prediction: Seahawks 20, Raiders 7
