Take your mind off the election for a minute and escape into the world of your 6-1 Seattle Seahawks as they go on the road to face the 6-2 Buffalo Bills at 10AM PT. I do not usually use the term, "fun" to describe a matchup, but this one qualifies for several reasons.

There will be many angles on this game from both the 49ers and from those who cover the Seahawks. San Francisco will play up Jimmy Garoppolo's ankle injury and the very lengthy list of players they were missing. Seattle coverage will (and is already) play up that the aggressive blitzing style the Seahawks defense deployed was the moment where the team found their identity on that side of the ball. Both are incorrect.
That is a game that Pete Carroll and Wilson win every single time, until they didn't. They literally had been 59-0 when leading by more than four points at halftime. They had been 27-0 when scoring 33 points or more. They had been undefeated in regular season games played at this stadium since 2013.

Seattle needs to avoid complacency and play another terrific offensive game to win on Sunday. The intangible aspects of this matchup concern me.

This is one of the most difficult matchups to assess for Seattle this season. The Seahawks offense has been impossible to defend over a full game so far this year. I like their chances against anyone. This could very well come down to whether Adams and Griffin play to help make enough plays to hold down the 49ers.
Most people think about Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins when talking about the Cardinals. No doubt, those two have star power. It is, however, the Cardinals defense that has my attention heading into this game. They rank second in the NFL in points allowed and seventh in yards per play. They are second in the red zone and seventh on 3rd downs. DVOA likes them as the 9th-best defense. Pro Football Focus is unimpressed, where they rank 19th in total defensive grade.
There are times when these rankings don't quite match what my eye is seeing. This happens to be a moment of synchronicity. Looking around the NFL, the Packers are probably the team that gives me the most pause when assessing the Seahawks Super Bowl chances.
Ask a Seahawks fan how they feel about their undefeated Seattle Seahawks, and they will likely tell you they are...
