Is Sea good enough to lay 14 points vs anyone right now?

I took SEA when they were 5.5 favorites on the road and won. And normally they kill SF. But honestly, SF is 1-0 with Gabbert and SEA only scores 22 pts per game. Their defense is not as strong. I don't know, all of a sudden it seems like SF might be the 4 pm play. But I am open to contrary views.

I'm thinking.... no they're not. But we're either going to get the Niners hanging close or Seattle blowing their doors off. Leaning SF myself.

i think SF keeps it within 10!

dont sleep on gabbert.

seahawks are not impressive on offense AT ALL right now

their defense is mediocre as well.. only reason why they were close in the cards game but defense crumbled

Probably not, but the Niners have been putrid in almost every aspect.

Yeah, SEA is sort of like GB when people keep expecting them to finally get it together. But unlike the Pack the Hawks have been inconsistent ALL season, not just the last 3 weeks. They are just an average team based on record and average teams don't generally lay 14 points.

Seattle should have beaten Arizona. Remember the flag fest in the first half against the Hawks?

Just sayin.

It was almost a complete pass for me, I had stuff for both teams. Made a small wager on Seattle at -13.5.

DD Division road dogs have been very good historically, especially with such a low total. Its hard to get past the way Seattle has dump trucked these guys lately tho.

Very tough game, GL whichever way you go with it.

SEA did almost win that game vs ARI but they still allowed ARI to just pick apart the Artists Formerly Known as the Legion of Boom for two late TD drives to give up another 4th QTR league. It is hard to imagine SF really scoring a lot though - -but I could see this being like a 13-7 type of game.

Gabbert is no star but Kaepernick was a disaster, so we need to understand the "new" SF with a standard pocket passer like Gabbert.
Seahawks are not the Seahawks we know the last few years.
Take the points IMO.

Right, because Seattle stopped blitzing. Teams should NEVER change their defense late in games. Dumb moves by dumb coaches. Keep blitzing, press coverage, 1 safety, etc. Prevent defense prevents you from winning. Bill Cower always finished games because he believed in these things.

Despite his success I have never totally trusted Pete Carroll. I also wonder if the Seahawks might be a good team to fade in the 2nd half. Take the opposing team total over or something.

that being said, Seattle laying 14 is a risky bet...I'm not touching it.

15+ now. Not sure if that is reaction to ESPN's report Kapernick (sp?) is outta there.

No kapernick makes the Niners a better play. He can run but he can't pass. Last game he played a lot of his pass attempts were so low they bounced of the receivers ankle. Gabbert isn't great, but he is an improvment. I am not a Niners fan but I'm taking the 15 points.

This game screamed stay away for me. Betting for the worst team in the NFL to cover or betting for an under-performing SEA O to actually put points on the board. I'd rather bet on a coin flip.
