WHO DAT Possession & Run Game!!! Under!!!

Saint's defense has been promising the last few and Hawks don't allow many points at home.  I'm seeing a lot of punting and fg scoring here.  Take under 47.5

Short passes and lots of run in order to limit the risk of turn overs? 

ya karma is a bia baby! yup hawks ham as fuck but they won last game and saints got a ring seattle dont.34-30 saints final

This should be a real good game to watch. Saints did beat an Eagles team that were not quite ready to win this year. 

Seattles defense will not allow Bree's to make any plays. The stadium will be loud and as a seahawks fan, Carroll all year has been focusing this team for the playoffs. The moment is here and there are simply tooo many weapons on offense and a complete defense on Seattle. Factor in the 3 of the starting defenders on the Saints are all injured, Seattle for sure wont have trouble scoring and our defense is good for a pick/TD/fumble....

Thanks shooter, Very good info on Saints injuries

Saints and over from Wilmington to DoverDover

Seahawks Large...don't overthink it....at home...2 weeks to rest/prepare, and the seahawks played them very well a couple months ago.

*Excuse me, 1 month ago

"Philly had 32nd ranked pass D...Seattle has #1.  Seattle will be able to stop the run game without much trouble since they can bring more players up to stop run.  Saints have 25th ranked run O....they're not very good running the ball anyway.

SEAHAWKS -8 LARGE!!!!

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: 34-21

I remember Jake Delhomme going into the same building and tearing the seahawks apart.  True different team and different defense, but if Cards can win there, why not the saints. 

New Orleans+ whatever
Seattle wins and moves on to the next round.

Seattle was #1 in defense last year and #9 in offense and Atlanta scored 30 on them. Not sure rankings will matter in this game. Last year Wilson threw for 385 yds and lost.

Least amount of turnovers, better 3rd down conversions and the least amount of penalties win this game. Remember, all the experience rests with NO. Russell Wilson hasn't won anything yet and Lynch has only averaged 66 yds / 3.5 yds per carry in Dec. That's not going to do it.  First week both young QB's crapped the bed. May have two more this week.  Drew Brees doesn't rattle. Hope its a good game......probably 7pts or less.

HFA does mean something in the NFL during the playoffs, especially in Seattle but vs top 10 defenses this yr , Seattle barely scored 20 / game while scoring almost 30 / game vs the rest of the league

NO +8 - The Saints may not win and seem to have a chip on their shoulder for being dubbed a bad road team.  But with a decent game vs. the Panthers in week 16 and last week's road game, the Saints should keep it close if not outright win.  SCORE: Saints 20 - Seahawks 24

In the NFL it seems like it is fixed.  When you think SEA will win at home because they have a very good record at home they lose.  When you think NO will lose on the road because they have a very bad record on the road they win.  SEA lost to ARI at home and NO won at PHI.  NO lost at SEA earlier this season and will make adjustments.  I see a closer game this time.  How close I do not know and nobody knows.  I like SEA ML and NO +8

As much as I dislike the Seahawks, I just don't know if the Saints can pullout a win here..

Early lean on Seahawks

2nd time N.O.playing Seattle at Seattle this season,getting blown out the 1st time,with Seattle

Saints were in a divisional sandwich the first time they encountered the 'bags. It showed. Don't pay it too much notice, their worst loss of the year and there was a very good reason for it.

almost forgot, but the forecast will be rain. i don't know how much that will affect the margin of victory. does rainy games make the games closer? will it be a sloppy, time of possession battle in favor of Saints or will the rain + crowd noise affect the Saints?

 i don't know how much that affects Brees and Saints heavy passing attack. i'm sure it will have some effect. looks like they will have to balance their attack and run effectively with Ingram and Khiry Robinson if they are to have any chance.

i might just take the Saints based on the weather affecting both teams. still not sure.. Seattle wins by 7 pts. maybe..

i got the under when it was at 47 and didn't realize about the rain. in rainy conditions, i just can't see both teams scoring over 20.  i see a 24-17 type game.
