2-0 23-23, I like New England at pick'e. Seattle comes in after comeback win against Green Bay while New England blewout Indianapolis. Seattle's defense was thought to be elite coming , but it is clear that Seattle's defensoverattedd, neltewhen you look at how they have played against top offenses all season - with the exception of week 1 when Green Bay's offense struggled after starting right tackle got hurt and backup had not played before, Denver,San Diego, Dallas, and Green Bay this past week moved the ball well on Seattle, with three of these teams moving the ball well despite playing in Seattle. Seattle is now playing without 2 better interior defensive linemen Mcbane and Hill out, and thepass rush and run defense has been mediocre, giving up nearly 5 yards a carry the last two weeks Seattle played 4 backup quarterbacks in the last 6 weeks, and struggling San Francisco offense twice, but no offense even ranked in the top half of the NFL, and Green Bay would have had nearly 400 yards with Rodgers bangedd up, but conservativee in fourth quarterr.
Seattle'ss secondryy is strong, but pass rush mediocre, and there is no consistent push in the middle. New England was able to consistently move the ball against a strong Baltimore defensive line despite having no running game, and Seattle's pass rush is not as strong as Baltimore's with Ngata health
New England's defense struggled agaisnt strong Baltimore offensvie line, but Seattle doesn't have receivers Baltimore, and New England should to load the box against Lynch and use strong linebackrs WIlsn
