Summary:
Seattle’s offense finally came alive Monday night against the Bills as tight end Jimmy Graham had his best game for the Seahawks. Russell Wilson continues to make plays and take care of the football but the Seahawks ground attack is not as potent as it was a year ago. New England is (4-0) since quarterback Tom Brady has returned from his suspension. The Patriots offense has scored 27 or more points in every one of Brady’s starts. Brady is my leader for MVP completing over 73% of his passes with 12 touchdowns to no interceptions. Seattle and New England both have elite defenses so points may be at a premium in this one. The Patriots are on fire right now and I don’t think Seattle’s offense can put up points the way they did against Buffalo. I like New England to win this one at home.
