Not a Soul alive back in August had this Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks vs Giants as the NFL Nation's Game of the Week.
Yet, here we are.
The surprising 6-1 Giants and equally surprising 4-3, first place NFC West Seahawks clearly underscores that parity is alive and well in the NFL. Somewhere Pete Rozelle is looking down smiling.
The Seahawks will no doubt have their hands full and their improved run D tested between both Jones and Barkley. Jones himself put up over 100 last week. Deceptively elusive and quick, he becomes a baffling one-two punch with Barkley.
If the Seahawks can squeek this one out, the potential dream season just gets better and better. The Giants haven't been blowing any team out this year. In fact, I believe they have only won by 7 or less in each victory. They are playing hard and well for their new coach and this team will continue to ride on Barkley's legs if he can stay healthy.
The Giants are beatable any given Sunday just like any other team is. This Sunday calls for an inch of rain and high winds in the Seattle area so look for a soaker that will involve whomever ends up with the most running yards and least amount of turnovers wins.
Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 23 - Giants 21
Aros' Fearless Record: 5-2
