Last week: 24 (+0)
Record: 1-1
I haven’t really moved the Seahawks much, starting them at 25, then moving them to 24, then keeping them at 24 this week. They’re a good team at home and a bad team on the road. Nothing that’s happened with this team has been unpredictable at all. This week, however, they get their toughest home test as Green Bay comes to town. The stadium will be rocking on Monday Night, but the Packers represent as big of a test as any. At the end of the day, this team will go as far as Russell Wilson takes them. They can run the football and play defense, but if Russell Wilson keeps playing like this, 61.1% completion, 5.6 YPA, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception, they won’t go far. Given the history of non-1st round pick rookie quarterbacks and non-1st round pick quarterbacks in general in this league, I don’t expect much more from him than this as the year goes on.

You must not have watched the game Sunday. The Seahawks didn’t just beat the Cowboys, they dominated them. The Seahawks defense is one of the best in the league and Wilson did exactly what we needed him to do, manage the game and not make mistakes. When you have RB rushing for 122 yards you don’t need to put up big passing numbers. In a couple weeks you will be hoping people don’t remember your post.
