Seattle at Jacksonville

While the weather may be cool by Jacksonville standards, it will be perfect for football. The Seahawks are off a physical and highly emotional game at home vs. previously 10-1 Philadelphia. It was a huge game for Seattle to keep pace in the NFC Playoff race. Hidden in the 24-10 win, however, is the fact that Philadelphia racked up 425 total yards. And the 10 points allowed by the Seahawks will make many believe the defense really stepped up, but it was more a result of Philadelphia stopping themselves. Jacksonville can run the ball very well and will have success in this game. I think that the Jaguars have seen a lot of soft offensive teams in facing the Colts twice, Arizona, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and the Chargers in their last six, and has them a bit overrated right now. Russell Wilson can make big plays escaping the big pass rush of the Jags, so I look for this one to play OVER the total.
