I hesitated to post my fearless prediction thread the morning after a shocking loss at home to the Giants but since it’s a very short week I may as well get under way.
After several helpings of crow, I’ve decided to kick my “Book it!” braggadocio to the curb for the rest of the season. Games like yesterday prove there simply is no way to know what team will show up.
While I do buy into the theory that the Seahawks did in fact overlook and underestimate a 1-3 Giants team, instead choosing to look ahead to a bigger game against a divisional rival, the simple fact here is that they were outcoached and outplayed all game long.
I want so badly to believe the Hawks will put on a much better performance on all sides, having been caught with their pants down, and go out and take care of business Thursday night but my confidence is shot.
Until I see a clear turnaround trend, I just don’t see a victory on the second short week in two weeks.
Aros’ Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 23 - 49ers 27
Aros’ Fearless Record: 4-1
