Seattle Seahawks: Week 2 Opponent Preview – Tennessee

Bottom Line
Time to put up or shut up. The Seattle Seahawks are -5.5, and the over/under is 54 points for the game. According to ESPN’s matchup predictor, they have the Seahawks at 70.8% over Tennessee’s 29% (0.2% tie). So as you can see, this game is not expected to be close. The Seahawks should be ramped up and ready to go for their first game of 2021 in Lumen Field.
Not to mention 12’s will be back in the stadium to bring that world-famous crown noise advantage. Oh yeah, that’s right, fans will be back in the stands being raucous and crazy. Expect another balanced performance from Seattle’s offense. I would not expect the big plays from Lockett again unless the defense falls or blows their coverage.
Nor should you expect the same high-level efficiency from Wilson again. Tennessee was the very definition of a dumpster fire in their first game in 2021. After their first week’s performance, they will be highly motivated. Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel won’t let his team repeat their Week 1.
This game will be back and forth. The last team that has the ball wins. Which will be Russell Wilson and Co. Seahawks 28 Titans 21.
We can't wait to see you and we can't wait to hear you. ?
For our players, having the 12s back means ??????????.@BudLight x #ForTheFans pic.twitter.com/ChPM6umMfo
