San Francisco -3 @ Seattle
The Pete Carroll era in Seattle kicks off on Sunday, & heaven help them!
In the past two weeks the Hawks :
1) Let go of their leading receiver from last year. Housh cost them $15 million for 1 year of service (note to self: I need me a job like that!),
2) Lost their offensive line coach as he suddenly retired, and....
3) Their stud first round OT (Okung) is injured and out for week #1.
I see Hasslebeck running for his life or heading to the bench for some advil!
I like what San Francisco did in the offseason, using their two first round picks to shore up their O-line and having Crabtree for a full training camp is only going to make him even better this year. Their QB isn't stellar, but should be able to turn around and hand off the ball to Gore and Westbrook for some old school Mike Singletary smashmouth football.
Seattle's home record the past two seasons, 6-10. 12th Man - meh, this team is in full rebuild mode now. Only having to give up three points is kinda nice here - suspect later in the year this game would open at -7 in favour of the niners.
Take the favourite. 49ers 31 Seahawks 10
More to come... strong feelings towards the Dolphins (-3), Lions (+7), and Colts (-2) this week.
