Seattle Seahawks: Week 1 Opponent Preview – Indianapolis
Bottom Line
It’s time to put up or shut up. As of now, the Seattle Seahawks are -.35 and under 47.5 points for the game. However, according to ESPN’s matchup predictor, they have the Colts at 51.9% over Seattle’s 47.7%. So, this game should be close.
Consequently, close games typically mean they’re good games. At least from an entertainment standpoint. “Are you not entertained? Are. You. Not. Entertained? Is this not why you are here?” However, we’re fans, and entertainment is second only to winning. It’s tough to make a call this early and with so many unknown variables.
I believe Wentz and Nelson play for the Colts. Thus, making their offense at nearly 100%. Hilton is already out. I wish him the best in his recovery from his neck/back/disc issue. Moreover, I don’t think Fisher plays in week one. Everyone saw Wentz perform last year.
Worst QB in the league. For those who don’t know. Wentz leads the NFL in sacks (50) and interceptions (15). All while only playing in 12 games. Drew Lock also threw 15 picks; however, he did so in 13 games. On the other hand, when paired with Reich, the 2017 version of Wentz shows that Wentz can play at an MVP level.
Subsequently, Wentz won’t be fixed by Week 1. His chemistry with his offense won’t be there. Wilson will operate an efficient offense. However, it most likely won’t show the full complement of a Shane Waldron offensive playbook. The game will be a slugfest with both teams consistently running often into brick walls. The difference is that the Seahawks can make a few big plays on offense and come out victorious in a close game. Seahawks 28 Colts 20.
