Get ready for the upcoming season with our
2008
Seattle Seahawks Predictions & NFL Picks!
The Seattle Seahawks have won the NFC West
for three straight years and we see them remaining on
top of the division with our 2007 predictions. The
team struggled with injuries a season ago, but with the
roster aging at the key positions the time to win is
now. This little extra urgency could fuel them to
another Super Bowl, but most likely their potential will
be reached in the NFC side of the playoffs.

Matt Hasselbeck was injured last season and never looked good in
the pocket. With an off-season to regain full strength, this offense will
be much improved as he has made three Pro Bowls and led this team to the Super
Bowl in the past. Of course, health is important at running back as well
and Shaun Alexander as it showed when he went down with injuries a year ago.
He has turned 30 though and it doesn't appear he will return to his MVP status
of a couple years ago. DJ Hackett and Deion Branch will man the receiving
duties, and both should have decent numbers this year. Nate Burleson was a
disappointment last season, and Seattle is expecting better play out of him as
well. Jeremy Stevens is gone to Tampa Bay, but Marcus Pollard is a solid
pass catcher at tight end.
The front four got a big boost when the Seahawks signed Patrick
Kerney away from Atlanta. Having him and Marcus Tubbs up front should keep
the heat off a talented group of linebackers. Julian Peterson and Lofa
Tatupu are both potential Pro Bowlers who excel at the position. Leroy
Hill is the other outside guy and he'll be looking to make a name for himself
after an injury plagued 2006. The secondary has been disappointing
recently, but Jim Mora was hired to shore up this group. He'll have new
safeties to work with in Brian Russell and Deon Grant. The corner position
had to deal with injuries a year ago, but there is talent there and Josh Wilson,
the second round pick out of Maryland, will add depth.
Seattle is our favorite to win the West and they'll be a team
contending for the NFC come playoff time, but this win total seems to be right
on the money. When we make wagers on win totals with even numbers you have
to look at the more likely up or down scenario. In this case we see 8 wins
being more likely than 10 wins, and by a fairly significant margin. A
decent play here is to take the Seattle UNDER 9 wins.
