Headline: Patriots Battle Seahawks and their Rabid Crowd in Week 6<\/strong><\/p>\n The New England Patriots travel west this week to play in one of the most difficult buildings in the NFL \u2013 CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The Pats represent the third elite team to visit Seattle already \u2013 the other two were sent home with their tales between their legs. <\/p>\n New England Patriots (3-2) vs. Seattle Seahawks (3-2)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Gambling Insight!<\/a> |\u00a0Buy Ray’s Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It should be an intriguing showdown between New England\u2019s top tier offense versus Seattle\u2019s top ranked defense \u2013 let\u2019s take a closer look!<\/p>\n The New England Patriots come into Sunday\u2019s game as the top scoring team in the NFL with 33 points per game \u2013 what else is new?<\/p>\n The offense has been magnificent yet again but something is different this year for Brady and the boys \u2013 they are actually getting a contribution from their running game!<\/p>\n That\u2019s right \u2013 the Pats have rumbled for over 200 yards on the ground in two consecutive games and they have the third ranked running game in the NFL! Not that they will be able to run on Seattle but balance on offense is a new concept in New England \u2013 one that makes Tom Brady that much more dangerous.<\/p>\n Tom and gang will still air the ball out. They are 9th in the league in passing averaging 274 yards per game. Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski are two of the scariest weapons in the league and will surely be a challenge for Seattle\u2019s stingy defense.<\/p>\n New England\u2019s defense is beatable for sure \u2013 30th against the pass allowing 291 yards per game and 8th against the run. They give up 22.60 points per game \u2013 good enough for 17th in the NFL.<\/p>\n The Seattle Seahawks have won two straight games and return home this week where they have looked virtually unbeatable in wins over the Cowboys and the Packers \u2013 if you can call that a win! Their success has been due to defense and Marshawn Lynch \u2013 nobody else on the team has done much!<\/p>\n The biggest matchup in this game will be the Pats offense versus Seattle\u2019s defense. The Hawks have allowed the second fewest points per game so far this season (14 per game) and they are fifth versus the pass (192 yards allowed per game) and 3rd against the run. This unit has been sensational this year and will get the help of their rabid ear-blowing home town crowd this week. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The Seattle offense won\u2019t win this game. They are 28th in scoring and they are the 31st ranked passing game in the NFL with just 147 yards per game. Russell Wilson looked OK last week passing for over 200 yards but he did throw two interceptions \u2013 that makes five in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n Turning the ball over and giving Tom Brady some short fields is not advised \u2013 obviously.<\/p>\n Marshawn Lynch has been the offensive saviour this season for Seattle.<\/p>\n The Hawks have the 7th ranked running game because of him.<\/p>\n Lynch\u2019s effectiveness will be paramount Sunday \u2013 he is the only way the Hawks move the ball and keep Mr. Brady on the sidelines.<\/p>\n Betting Prediction<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Seattle is a team built to grind games out and unfortunately they are reliant on teams having as much trouble moving the ball as them.<\/p>\n The only way to defeat the Pats is through offensive firepower and Seattle has none of that. Expect Seattle to keep this game close for a while but in the end they just won\u2019t be able to keep up with an offense that is clicking on all cylinders.<\/p>\n It is tough going against Seattle at home but I see the Pats winning by a touchdown in a lower scoring game in this one.<\/p>\n Pick:<\/strong> New England Patriots -3 1\/2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New England vs Seattle Betting Headline: Patriots Battle Seahawks and their Rabid Crowd in Week 6 The New England Patriots travel west this week to play in one of the most difficult buildings in the NFL \u2013 CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
