As always, I am very happy to be wrong when I pick against the Seahawks as I did last week. That game could have easily swung in Carolina's favor if Cam had Russell's brain and leadership ability on his shoulders to go along with his freak athleticism. Once again, for the third year straight, we beat the Panthers in their house in a defensive battle that came down to the wire.
Quick aside, why do we always seem to play at certain opponent's place nearly every time we play them? Chicago and Carolina come to mind.
This Sunday, I believe strongly we get back on track. Not because I am underestimating the Raiders. Carr is a scary new QB that could cause us fits if we are not playing disciplined defense. They will play us tough so if we're not ready for that we will get beat. Then again that goes for any game.
Sunday looks to me like just what the Seahawks need to get on a winning streak and rediscover that swag and confidence that was in such large supply last year but been missing for the most part this year.
Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 35 - Raiders 17
Aros' Fearless Record: 3-4
