4 Bold Seahawks predictions against Patriots game

 The Seahawks (1-0) play the patriots (1-0) this Sunday at Seattle for week 2 on Sunday night football. The Seahawks have a revamped secondary to take on the Patriots new offence with Cam Newton. So Here are my 4 bold predictions for the Seahawks.   

1. Seahawks will not throw more than 35 times   

We all loved Russel “cook” the falcons in week one, but I don’t see them throwing it more than 35 times this week. The Patriots have a great secondary with Stephon Gilmore and others. Locket and Metcalf will be tightly covered. Throwing it more than 35 times will be hard. The Patriots have a great secondary. What you might see more of is 2 tight end sets and play action passes. 2 tight end sets keep the defense off balance because they can’t tell if it’s a run or a pass. The Seahawks will set up the run first. And if the running attack gets going, they will occasionally use the run game to set up play action passes. That is when you might see the go routs or deep seam routs.  

2.  You will love the Tight ends even more.  

If there one weakness on the Patriots, it’s the linebacker core. We know that the Seahawks will use more 2 tight ends. The 2 starting tight ends being Greg Olsen and Will Dissly. Greg Olsen is a great player and still has talent at age 35. Will Dissly on the other hand, has bean injured most of his career, when on the field he showed great promise. After loosing many top linebackers to free agency or Covid opt outs, like Dont`a Hightower, covering the Seahawks tight ends will be hard. Having 2 tight end sets will most likely change the Patriots defense because they might replace on of their cornerbacks with a safety. Therefore, the Patriots would have 2 cornerbacks matched up with 2 Seahawks receivers, leaving the Olsen and Dissly free to match up with their not so good linebackers. I predict that the Olsen and Dissly combined will have +100 yard.  

3. Another great game for Adams & Wagner   

Why I think Adams and Wagner will have a good game, well, mostly because of the running style of the patriots. I predict that that the Seahawks will use Adams and Wagner to spy on Newton. Both will alternate roles of spying on him. This way Newton will not know who is spying on him. On the RPO’s (Run pass option) one of them, either Wagner or Adams will play the run and the other one will spy on Newton making sure he dose run with the ball. Adams ad Wagner are both Pro bowl players so I expect both Wagner and Adams will defend their run and QB keep run plays really well. Wagner and Adams will have great game statistically   

4. Seahawks will win by +5 points   

Why:   

1. Russel Wilson is Better than Cam Newton 

2. Seahawks Linebackers are better than the Patriots  

3. Seahawks receivers/ tight ends are better than Patriots
