Great stats... thank you.Everyone will be on Denver. They have a brand new head coach that's never called plays before. You're asking him to win on the road. It's been profitable to bet against new HCs. Russell Wilson is 4-10 SUATS in the first 3 weeks. Pete Carroll is 17-2 SU and 15-4 ATS at home the first 3 weeks. Good luck.
great write up..thank you. tons to think about with that.Sea Chickens +5 with splash to the over 41.5. It’s MNF and this game is a snoozer really. Need some drama and eyeballs. These MNF games especially double header ones of years past has had some real snooze fest games week 1. Refs may want to work in a few new calls to warm up the ole flag throwing arm. Especially some of these DB tighter call rules. Could benefit offense.
But, coach Pete and the boys will be fired up. More unity and familiarity with Wilson will benefit a bit. Underdog factor at home and fans should be pumped. Lock or Smith I believe can do enough to get some points. Smith probably more upside. Good weapons all around. Walker kid at RB will do some work. Broncos D with New DC and coach bit different scheme and philosophy. Levels 1 and 2 nothing special. Back end has some big talent. No great edge rushing.
Sea chickens gonna have expected weakness o line. Personally don’t think they are that bad. RB’s WR TE plenty of playmakers. QB situation is unknown. Both play is my opinion. And believe it’s beneficial. Both D will have familiarity on lock and Wilson. Big plus. But both QBs know D player tendencies also. Den coach and offense will be more efficient this year, still first game for coach. Adams and Diggs are two players who can give Wilson problems. They have seen him in practice for few years. Also helps having back end help in moving defenses around in situations vs QB. Some quick calls can be made with guys like that. You want high IQ leadership working back to front. They see the field. Aaron Donald can’t correct or predict a tendency to guys behind him. Diggs and Adams May carry a lot of value just in presence here.
Game probably opens up 2nd qtr into 2nd half. Lots hype get feet wet starting game both sides. Seattle playing from behind will be better tempo for lock or smith and the WR. Seahawks will have some success on ground imo with walker penny homer. 3-0 7-0 after 1 would not shock me one bit. Points will trickle in later in game imo.
Denver OC is raw. I’d imagine a split HC/OC play call. Plenty of things should favor low scoring first glance.. Den D perceived really good and Seattle O no good. But not totally the case imo. New HC New OC New QB New System. However, New raw DC. Broncos have a lot of new pieces. Big spotlight for some first given the situation (Wilson trade etc) and prime time. Mistakes will be made here or there. Still believe both teams will be capable of 4 scores. A realistic 2-3 Fg 1-2 TD in 4 scores. A 5th can open up very easily also. 24-20 23-20 sits in the 4 scores range. 4tds be it 3 Den or 2 each should be enough with help of FG’s. If this game was week 11 I’d say a 24-13 27-13 Denver expected.
DK and Fant are going to draw a good bit of attention no matter who the QB is. Both are also capable of working well off 1 on 1 and navigate double. RB and Lockett should produce enough if DK and Fant draw. Den probably cuts Williams loose. Should try and isolate Sutton and open up speed between hash with Jeudy and Hamler. Sea can be had on the outside and edge. Wilson does throw a good deep ball. Den can be had in 2nd level but sea has to stretch Den 3rd level even with speedy decoys Goodwin or Eskridge.
Personally, just don’t see a Den blowout. Back door would worry me a bit also. Too many new pieces Denver also. New QB, New HC, New OC, New DC and all are raw.
Sea +5
Over 41.5

He very well may. I’d emphasize again the importance Diggs and Adams can play. Having not 1 but 2 on field coaches on back end is very beneficial. And they face him in practice for few years helps in tendencies etc. Russ will have some of their tendencies also thoughgreat write up..thank you. tons to think about with that.

I despise the sea chickens and Pete . But I do believe they have 6-7 win potential. NFC west imo has some big question marks in few areas each team. Sea the worst.Not sure you can compare a Pete Carol team with another new defensive coordinator and Gino Smith at quarterback to a Belichick coached team with Mac Jones....
Seattle will not cover this...
They won 21-17 at home vs raiders 2013? Vs Pryor as QB? Lmao that don’t count big Lou! That’s a Loss technically in my book at home vs Pryor lol.Last time the Colts won on opening day was against the Raiders in 2013 so the losing streak began in 2014.
