I initially went with a 28-27 type score. This is not a scientific prediction - warning.
Going out on a limb after hearing Hasselbeck on 710 yesterday. He specifically mentions a couple things:
1 - Stafford. He didn't say anything bad about him, but didn't say much good either. Basically said that the dude should be playing better given his experience. Also called him pretty 'inconsistent'. I don't follow Stafford 'at all'.
2 - Short week game. He also mentioned about short week games that the opposing defense doesn't have the time to get 'complicated' or 'fancy' in just a couple days planning. I think that the lack of prep time on defense for them will allow some of our warts on offense to slide a bit. Flowers is probably not starting - and the rest I think (especially Adams) are more suited for a simple run to the ball type defense without a ton of planning.
ALSO - non Hasselbeck related:
3 - We're in action Green. Well, generally barf - but we're 7-0 in games wearing action green 'on top'. I'll take that, and barf on my own time
4 - We're in primetime. Slightly aged stat I found was 19-2 in home primetime games (this stat was at least a year old).
5 - We're at home. I love it but it's not the W generator that it once was. I chalk this up to COVID. Kick the tires and light the fires - we'll get our groove back on this front.
So. In points allowed - both us and the lambs are in the 25/26 points per game allowed range. That puts the original estimate of a 28 point type game in the range. BUT I'm giving us an extra 7 and deducting 7 from the lambs - due to the points above.
Final non-scientific-ish prediction: 35 - 21 W for the Hawks. I hope/don't think it's gonna be as insanely close as it looked. But, I could obviously be wrong
Oh yea, and screw Donald.
