UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cincinnati has a chance to get back to .500 after its 1-3 SU/0-3-1 ATS start. The Bengals (2-3 SU/1-3-1 ATS) finally covered in Week 5, beating Arizona 34-20 as 3-point road favorites.

Seattle is 3-0 SU and ATS since dropping its opener at home against the L.A. Rams. The Seahawks (3-1 SU and ATS) had a Week 5 bye. In Week 4, the Seahawks rolled to a 24-3 win laying 2.5 points at the New York Giants.

The SuperBook had a lookahead line last week of Bengals -2.5 and got bet up to -3, then back down to -2.

"After the Bengals looked like their old selves today against Arizona, we re-opened at -3," Michaelson said. " The market promptly went against us, looking to get it back down to the lookahead number. It is my belief that this line will close at some variation of 3."

Late tonight, the Bengals are -3 (even) in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 6 market.
