PrintSeattle Seahawks (5-4) vs. New Orleans Saints (6-3)
Seattle Injuries: Colin Cole DT (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Mike Gibson OG (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Matt Hasselbeck QB (Wrist, FP Wed.), Anthony McCoy TE (Knee, DNP Wed.), Russell Okung OT (Ankle, FP Wed.), Michael Robinson RB (Hamstring, DNP Wed.), Brandon Stokely WR (Calf, DNP Wed.), Golden Tate WR (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Lofa Tatupu (Knee, DNP Wed.)
New Olreans Injuries: Reggie Bush RB (Leg, LP Wed.), Chris Ivory RB (Shoulder, LP Wed.), Malcolm Jenkins CB (Neck, LP Wed.), Patrick Robinson CB (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Darren Sharper S (Hamstring, DNP Wed.), Jeremy Shockey TE (Rib, DNP Wed.), Jon Stinchcomb OT (Knee, LP Wed.), Pierre Thomas RB (Ankle, DNP Wed.)
The Saints are almost as beat up as the Seahawks are. They're missing three of their running backs, and a few defensive backs as well. I guess that can be seen as a positive.
My Hawk of the week is, well, shit. New Orleans is a pretty damn good team. According to Football Outsiders, their offensive line is pretty damn awesome, and their defense is pretty good, too. I guess I'll go with Lawyer Milloy. He makes the most of the safety blitz and picks up a sack to go along with a nice run stop on third and short. However, the Saints at home prove to be too much for the Hawks and take the game 27-13.
Hopefulmsfan wins last weeks Post Your Hawk by predicting that Kelly Jennings would intercept his first pass since 2006 in last week's game. Well done, sir. Here's the link to the point prediction spreadsheet: Link. Surf Hawk, diehard_82, BeaverBird and I are battling it out for the top spot. It's close!

Marshawn Lynch and Forsett will combine for their best game yet
while Matt lowers his numbers from Sunday. Saints running game will be shut down by our D, letting us use the 7-DB look and forcing the Saints to throw checkdowns on their speeding running backs. Expect a lot of screens. Brees will have good numbers, but will lose the ball (fumble, interception) and Mare will have the game winning kick.

Marcus Trufant
He is so sticky ickky that we forget about him.
Seahawks 21, Saints 20
/ Placing fandom above personal gain
Ben Obomanu
3 ST tackles, 4 catches for 79 yards.
Saints 41 Seahawks 14.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
BMW, 8 receptions for 91 yards and a TD.
The Seahawks enjoy their usual road route, getting blown out but scoring a few times in the 2nd half to make it look like it wasn’t quite so bad.
Saints, 34 -24.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
Roy Lewis
with a bandit interception and two big ST plays.
This wooden soul of mine, it cannot ever climb from places it has fallen: In between where light can shine. It never falls in line, it barely has a spine, like branches severed from the vine. Like it was faulty by design.
Saints 34 Seahawks 16

Curry
AC continues his development with 9 tackles, 2 TFL, and 1 sack. I’m really starting to like where he’s headed.
Saints 37, Hawks 13
Deon Butler.
Carroll starts Obomanu and the competition philosophy pays dividends. 5 rec, 88 yds, 1 TD.
Saints 27-17 : (
Mike Williams
7 catches – 90 yds
Hawks lose 28 – 14
This is tough
I just can’t bring myself to bet against the Hawks. While I’m not overflowing with confidence, I’m hoping for a
Hawks win 31-27.
In order for that to happen, Hass must play within himself and get to the end-zone from the red-zone more often. I’ll say he goes 26-39 with 3 td’s and no int’s.
Changing my mind!!!
With Okung in the lineup and Reggie Bush out, I’m looking for Seattle to try to run the ball, control the clock, keep Brees on the sideline. So, it’s Beast Mode time. Marshawn Lynch gets 22 carries for 97 yards and 1 td. Hawks win a tight one with a last second Mare field goal, 20-17.
Okung.
Hass is sacked twice, but neither time from the left, and BeastForce does alright when rushing with the rookie. Seahawks lose 17-33.
Earl Thomas
Gets two picks, 1 for 6.
Also, he really lays someone out like it looked like he was trying to do last week.
Seahawks win 28-21.
CW
Comes in middle of the 2nd quarter after Matt is sacked out of the game. Goes 10 for 15 150 yards and 1 TD.
Seahawks 24 – 17
Ben Obamano
comes up big in his first start, with 6 catches for 87 yards and a TD.
However, Saints win 27-17

From no. 5 to no. 52 in two short weeks
Damn. Uh, I guess I’ll take Curry with a two sacks and a FF. Hawks lose 38-14
If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.
You have a hard one for Leon Washington?

I think Lynch breaks out with Okung back.
120 yds. with a TD.
For the first time, and I hate to do it, I pick against the Hawks. The Saints are just too damn good and it’s in NO.
Saints 27-Hawks 17
Okung with a dominating performance that opens up the run game, and the playbook.
I can’t bring myself to bet against my Hawks. I like Brees, but the visage of ole’ Pucked Lips Payton infuriates me and the home field advantage of the Dirt Dome is overstated.
Hawks 27-21
It's STILL Great to be a Florida Gator!
My heart says pick the Hawks.
My head, not knowing a damned thing about the Saints other than they won the SB last year says 31 – 24
Saints.
John Hancock
Jon Ryan
two fake punts for TD’s including a 75 yard run on his part and a deep ball to BMW… and he nearly gets laid after the game
Tatupu - leads the team in tackles, and gets a pick.
As much as I love the Seahawks, this is the least winnable game of the remaining schedule.
Seahawks 20 | Saints 27
BMFMW
10 catches, 100+ yards and a TD.
Saints 30 – Seahawks 17

Carlson
2 TD 8 catches 88 yrds
Seahawks 35 — Saints 21
I'm dead last in this thing
might as well take a risk. BeastForce combine for 200 yards and Matt has a QB rating higher than 90. Hawks 31-16 and the saints only TD comes in or close to garbage time.
ME-BANE!!! 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble.
All tackles come by way of his new patented Belly Thrust technique.
Saints still win fairly easily 27-13
Carlson/Okung
Russell’s return allows Carlson to do what he does best, run his routes and pickup chunks of yards. Carlson sets new career highs 9 rec for 114 yards and two TDs.
The Saint’s defense, especially their secondary are unable to force turnovers, allowing the Hawks to put up early points. Hawks hang on in the fourth to win 26-21.
Hawks 30-24
My hawks are King Kung and Mebane. This will be the same team that manhandled the Bears.
And those two MOFOS are the reason why.
Saints have lost the juice
Baker with another td
Hawks 27
Saints 24
Efren Herrera is my spirit animal
