Seahawks vs Broncos Win Probability & Market Pricing
Updated October 14, 2026
The Seattle Seahawks travel to Denver to face the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 6, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Empower Field at Mile High. Both teams enter at 3-2, with Seattle coming off a 32-29 loss to San Francisco and Denver fresh off a 23-17 win over the Chargers.
Rather than focusing on a side or total for this matchup, I think the better value may actually be on a player prop. Specifically, I'm targeting Jaxon Smith-Njigba to record 7+ receptions. Below, I'll break down why I like this pick and the key reasons behind it.
Our Model Sees Value
Jaxon Smith-Njigba 7+ receptions is currently trading at 56¢ on Polymarket, while the ATS Quantitative Model gives it a 61.3% chance of hitting. That creates a 5.3% edge at the current price, with our model recommending buying up to 60¢.
Seattle's Clear No. 1 Target
Smith-Njigba has caught 37 passes on 50 targets through five games, averaging 7.4 receptions and 10 targets per contest. He's accounted for roughly 35% of Seattle's targets, with no other Seahawks player seeing more than 20. That kind of consistent volume gives him a good chance to reach seven catches.
Denver's Banged-Up Secondary
Denver could be without several key defensive backs Thursday night. Patrick Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga have been dealing with ankle injuries, while Riley Moss is also nursing a rib injury. If Surtain is unable to play, Smith-Njigba could benefit from more favorable coverage matchups throughout the game.

Why Our Model Sees Value:
“After recording just five catches in back-to-back games, JSN 7+ receptions looks like a good buy-low opportunity. His recent production and questionable designation due to an ankle injury may be keeping the price down, but his role in Seattle's offense remains unchanged. At 56¢, I like the value here.”
Smith-Njigba has accounted for 49% of Seattle's receiving yards through five games, the highest share of any player in the NFL. He's also run 148 routes and played roughly 83% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps, showing just how important he is to Seattle's passing game.
Despite catching just five passes in each of his last two games, he's still leading the NFL with 583 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
Interestingly, Smith-Njigba never went three consecutive regular-season games without recording at least seven receptions in 2025. That doesn't guarantee a bounce-back Thursday, but it's an encouraging trend given his consistent involvement in the offense.
Denver could be without two important defensive starters in Patrick Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga, while Riley Moss is also dealing with a rib injury.
Surtain has allowed just nine catches on 18 targets for 93 yards in coverage this season, so his potential absence could open up more opportunities for Smith-Njigba, who leads all 86 qualified wide receivers with a 92.4 PFF receiving grade.
Denver's secondary has already shown some vulnerability, including allowing 230 receiving yards to Rams wide receivers back in Week 3.
With the Broncos capable of generating pressure on Sam Darnold, Seattle could look to get the ball out quickly to Smith-Njigba, who averages 5.1 yards after the catch per reception. That could create more opportunities for shorter completions, which is exactly what we want for his 7+ receptions prop.
Smith-Njigba suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's 32-29 loss to San Francisco but returned with his ankle taped and went on to catch a touchdown. He finished with five receptions for 102 yards, so the injury didn't prevent him from making an impact.
He was listed as "limited" on Seattle's estimated injury reports Monday and Tuesday, although the team didn't practice either day. With just four days between games, Smith-Njigba has a shorter recovery window than usual, making his ankle something to monitor ahead of Thursday night's matchup.
