The Eagles last ranked pass defense was able to hold Brees/Saints to 6 points and forced 2 INTs in the 1st half last week...they went into the half with a 1 pt lead, missed opportunity to take control of the game in the opening half.

I think the Seahawks are able to jump out and take control of this game early. It won't snowball and get out of hand like the last time they played, but I like Seattle to win by 10-14. Main reason is that Seattle won't have to scheme like the Eagles did to try to shutdown/slowdown Brees and the passing attack, which is what opened up the running game for the Saints last week. The Seattle corners > New Orleans WRs and Chancellor/Thomas is the best safety tandem in league...should be able to hold Graham in check again.

Overall, Seattle is better at every position on the field except QB and TE. I'm going with the team with the better defense and running game at home (especially considering it might be sloppy weather). Only thing that makes me nervous is that it seems too easy to just say..."oh Seattle in a blow again".

Seattle -8, small

Really like a Seattle -1, Carolina +7 teaser

Whole heartedly agree with your assessment. Seattle either wins this thing by 7 pts or by 10pts. Can't see it being a blowout again and hard to imagine weather not being huge factor for Saints. Kicking game is going to be non factor. Running game, defense and special teams, turnovers all will decide this game - and all of those favor Seattle. Then again any given Sunday not impossible for Saints to upset with some dumb luck.. just keep pounding the Saints guys

Sip on that plus money honey!

Seattle covers this week and defeats San Fran or Carolina @ home next week. IMO it's better to grab 2/1 or 2.5-3/1 if you can find it, on Seahawks future to win bowl vs trying to decide exactly how much the rain or wind will impact the game. If you go that route I suggest hedging the other way for the Super Bowl as I believe Denver and the patriots can both defeat seattle in New York. If chargers happen to get the best of manning Sunday and move on, then I see patriots winning it all.

Keep in mind - I have no favorite teams. My loyalty begins and ends with my wager.

Bad weather better running game should be a bigger factor. Add to that Seattle dominates at home and the Saints don't do well on the road. Before you say "wait, they just beat Philly on the road." That's the same Philly team that barely beat my town's crappy Cowboys who were running out a back up QB. So I wouldn't say that very tight win last week was any great feat by New Orleans. I guess Seattle could be rusty but I doubt it. Seattle by 10.

Good luck

Seattle to cover. Bad conditions takes NO major source of offense away. It isn't the same weather as in Philadelphia. Also you can factor road woes and, well, it's Seattle. Running game for Seattle and Seattle's D show up.

Brees communicating to his players, changing plays is everything to his style of thinking in-game. He had a HUGE ISSUE last game and to me this was the #1 problem with playing in Seattle. I expect Seattle to get pts most drives. Given the crowd noise situation against Brees, I expect them to punt way more than usual and close to the same situation as last game. There is no way to overcome the noise and amped defense he will face!! NO only shot is if it has success running the ball and turnovers. I see a 27-30 pts from Seattle but I am curious how you NO hopefuls see NO getting more than 20pts when they only got 7 last time in a REGULAR SEASON game..........so who is going to be amped up and prepared more this time?

You are crazy to say NO has a chance and that is saying a lot because Brees is my fave QB to watch in action.......I have to bet with my head! Seattle by 10 or more!

Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

Heaven $ent

98 % Chance of Rain - 15 - 20 MPH Winds

, . * ,

Contrary to popular beliefs , Wet conditions tends to offer Offensive advantages.

What Rain ?

D. Brees = Lifetime 3 Rain games + 25 Wind games :

49 TD's / 26 INTS

R.Wilson = Big Hands , Considerable Scrambling edge

" Loves to play in the rain "

Been there done that Brees , playoff record 39 / 60 =

404 Yrds / 2 TD's @ Seattle on 1/08/2011

2013 Blowout Shawks loss is overvalued :

Saints were Sandwiched between Divisional games .

9 1/2 PTS ?

Tis' madne$$ under adverse conditions givin' generous 9 1/2 pts. with dual payback situation play for 2011 Upset Loss @ Seattle + 2013 Blowout.

2013 Familiarity factor gives Peyton's Saints clearer blue print .

Have no idea how Rain may affect 12 th Man crowd participation.

Huge factor if it does to the slightest .

BET on it : Saints must go ALL out to cease Halftime Lead , taking crowd factor out.

All points out to Run / Trench Slugfest type of game,

But Saints can't match Wilson Beast Combo.

As to Cappin' Turnover factor...

Red or Black

Crapshoot factor...Saints D must n' will be pumped to takeaway task.

Usually stay away bettin' games under Sh i t conditions...

Under these circumstances would take points .

However , appears flock o' squares are headin' under...

BET THE OVER

Predict rain n' Wind Score ?
