Early Version!
I know, normally I wait until Wednesday or Thursday at the latest for my weekly prediction thread but since I'm watching the Chargers play the Cardinals right now, I thought I would mix things up a bit.
Even though both teams look like, well, meh right now, I have a feeling that won't go away that suggests this game in San Diego could be "one of THOSE games" where the outcome or the circumstances within the game aren't quite what most 12's expect.
This is a sneaky team the Chargers. Sure, on paper we should make them our latest bitch, but at home, down there, I can see Rivers causing us problems.
I hate when my gut tells me I should be concerned. Especially these days when we are all used to being on top of the NFL Universe. I don't fear we're not a match for the Chargers, obviously, but what I DO fear is that this could be one of those trap games we all fear and that are always inevitable at least once every NFL season on the schedule.
But since I am going to be at the game and because my 38-year 12 status insists on doing the right and proper thing...
I predict the Seahawks will win.
Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 27 - Chargers 19
Aros' Fearless Record: 1-0
EDIT: NFSeahawks628 has come up with a really cool idea where each week's points will be awarded based on predicted scores for the Seahawks game for that week.
