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.
I missed posting these rankings last week, but it is no surprise that the Seahawks fell from the top spot after losing in gory fashion to the Cardinals. The one-week difference column is really a two-week difference, for those scoring at home. The Chiefs have surged into the top spot...
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.

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.
I have a creative idea for how Seattle can increase cap space without leveraging the future, while simultaneously improving the pass rush. This is all theoretical, of course. Let’s get into it. After suffering a compound fracture in late 2016, the Seahawks made a big bet in August of 2018...
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.

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.
Seattle was idle during a bye week, but no team was able to overtake them for first place in the power rankings. Pittsburgh has a higher team strength rating with the strength of schedule aspect removed, but given they have faced the second-easiest schedule in the NFL so far, it...
