Fun match up of teams that don't meet very often.

Steeler QB Big Ben Rothlisberger will be throwing long to 'Downtown' Antonio Brown (79 catches, 1,141 yards, No,.1 in the NFL) and Seattle all-pro Richard Sherman will try to stop him.

Pittsburgh averages 6.6 yards per play, which is high (for example: Arizona is at 6.7 NE is at 6.4)

Seattle QB Russell Wilson (199 of 295, 2,378 yards, 13 TDs, 7 INTs) has been sacked 35 times but he does have WR Doug Baldwin (44 catches, 539 yards) and TE 'On the lam' Jimmy Graham ( 44 catches, 530 yards)

With all-pro Marshawn Lynch out for the SeaHawks, rookie HB Thomas Rawls has 604 yards ion 101 carries and even with my public school education, that's six yards a carry.

Seattle (5-5) has to win...they are 3 back of Arizona but they still have a chance to catch them.

Pittsburgh (6-4) is 2 back of Cincy (8-2) and they haven't given up on first place, either but the Steelers are beginning a 4-game stretch: at Seattle; Monday night at home against the Colts; at Cincinnati and Dec. 20 at hoe against Denver.

I keep waiting for Seattle to return to their form of the last 2 years and I think it happens here.

ben cant do much damage against this defense and he'll turn it over trying. Take the SeaHawks and the 'over'

This is a great match up. I really dislike both teams but will probably pull for Hawks. I am not sure Pitt has enough on offense to score enough in Seattle. If Seattle does lose and the Cards win then the division is almost a lock.

Seattle? maybe I understand. But why do you dislike the Steelers?

I am picking Seattle here. I cant see them falling to 5-6 and losing another home game but this matchup should be pretty close/within 7 points. I'll say 27-20 Seattle. Which puts me on the over LOL by 1.

[oldunclemark]

a stat I cant believe is 4 interceptions for Seattle in 10 games. FOUR?

Some of us do talk about how bad QBs are but interceptions seem to be down all over the NFL

[oldunclemark]

Big time throw for Ben....27-26 now

[oldunclemark]

'over' looks good, doesn't it?

maybe we can merge threads?

If you took Seattle and gave the points and took the over...cash that ticket!
