LIKE SEA:
SITUATION
Sea: BUYING LOW
Just last week LA line SEA was -5
What has
happened?
Sea failed ATS vs. rams by 4
Az failed ATS by 1, AFTER getting a
Hail Mary TD
SITUATIONS
FAVOR SEA:
And Sea:
REVENGE from the 1st game for a game that got away:
Sea had over a 90% chance to win late in the 4th
quarter.
Sea lead by 10 late in 4Q. Az kicked a
fg with 3:00, Sea committed a penalty extending drive…….Az cut the lead to 3
Then got a
stop, and a fg to tie the game.
AND Sea:
Should be FULLY focused on a losing streak:
0-2 @ Buffalo, @ Rams, and committed 7
turnovers.
Contrast to Az:
Miracle hail Mary, but have to wheel
back for Thurs Game, and Az has over 850 miles travel
Teams only
cover 38% ATS in this spot
1st
Game: Sea 34 AZ 37
Wilson 33/50
388 7.8 3 TD/3 INT, Sacked 2x, QBR 69
6 carries, 84 yards
Murray 34/48

14 carries, 67 yards
Lockett
15/200, Metcalf 2/23
Hopkins
10/103
Sea: Bad
spots last 2 weeks:
@ Buf (in a big divisional sandwich)
Had just played @Az, SF and
had @Rams next
Then caught the Rams off their bye,
Rams were refocused
And it was Sea’s 3rd
road trip in 4 weeks
Sea: Pete Carroll emphasizing ball security:
-4 T/o vs. Buffalo…. 4 t o
-2 T/o vs. Rams….. 3 t o
TREND: Sea 12-2-1 ATS off consecutive losses under
Carroll
Injuries:
SEA RBs Carson, Homer DOUBTFUL
Sea CBS
Griffen (64), Dunbar (48) OUT, Sea C Pocic G Simmons OUT
Az: DL injuries:
DE Jordan Phillips OUT PFF 54
DT Corey Peters OUT 63
DT Liki Fotu OUT 37
DE Zach Allen OUT 51
All these injuries in November…
PROPP Russell Wilson OVER 31.5 rush yards:
1st
meeting
10/25 6/84
Game: Sense
of urgency likely will lead to more Rushes
YTD Wilson averaging 36/gm
But I expect him to be more aggressive
in a crucial game
Especially vs. a suspect Az Run
Defense with injuries on the DL
AZ:
YTD: giving up 4.5 yards/rush
(22nd in NFL)
Last 3 games: Giving up 5.0
yards/rush
With a total of 57 I expect few 4th downs, AND I expect both coaches to go for it liberally on 4th and short tonight.......minimizing punts
