My quick thoughts on the Patriots vs Seahawks Sunday Night game tonight for Showdown and for SNF-MNF Purposes.
GAME WINNER BET
New England Patriots +4
Historically the teams who have given the Seahawks defensive scheme trouble have been teams with a mobile Quarterback. A lot of this has to do with the same reason I was on Todd Gurley last week and that is the ability to execute down near the goal line on the ground. I trust New England to be able to do this and will go against the idea that New England isn’t any good simply without Brady and a few guys who opted out. Give me the Pats on the road to pull off the upset which feels weird to say.
GAME CAPTAIN
Tyler Lockett – Seahawks
A rare spot where the losing team in my mind has the better captain play. His PPR volume with Wilson makes them a strong core. For Cam to excel as captain, he has to rush two in or get over 100 yards rushing, which I think is an extreme stretch.
