Point Spread: -4.50 | -103.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: -4.50 | -103.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle enters the playoffs as one of the NFL's hottest teams, winning six of their last seven games. None of those games were close, as the Legion of Boom imposed their will on opposing teams. The Seahawks rank 2nd in total defense, 1st in scoring defense, and they have allowed the fewest rushing yards (81.5 per game).
These teams met in the first week of December, and the Seahawks steamrolled the Vikings in Minnesota by a score of 38-7. Now the Vikings were missing a few key players on defense in that game, and they might be in a better position to compete with Seattle here on Sunday. That being said, Adrian Peterson wasn't able to get anything going against the Seahawks defense, running for just 18 yards on eight carries.
Teddy Bridgewater threw for just 118 yards and an INT on 17-of-28 passing in the previous meeting, and he was sacked four times. He was equally ineffective in last week's win over Green Bay, throwing for 99 yards and an INT on 10-of-19 passing. Peterson ran for a rather pedestrian 67 yards on 19 carries, but scored a touchdown. He's been bothered by a sore back, and has been limited to an average of 64 yards per game over the last five games of the season.
Russell Wilson comes into the playoffs looking like an MVP candidate, he's thrown for 24 TDs and just one INT over his last seven starts. I wouldn't go as far as to suggest that Seattle is a better team without Marshawn Lynch, but we can't ignore the fact that they were 3-4 in games Lynch played, and 7-2 in games that he missed.
Take SEA.
