I still have to pinch myself from time to time when thinking about last week's victory over the Ravens. I expected the Seahawks' defense to play well, but not be as opportunistic as they were; additionally, I did not expect to see the offense do as much as they did -- granted, they were given a lot of opportunities that they didn't capitalize on. But, hey, a victory is a victory, and when it comes over Ray Lewis I'm a happy man.

I'm feeling very confident about Sunday's game. The Rams are in bad shape, and I think the Seahawks will be able to exploit that. In fact, I think a shutout is even possible. I'm not going to bank on it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happens.

My Hawk this week is Beastshawn LynchMode. I think the Hawks build an early and comfortable lead and ride Marshawn Lynch to victory. He finishes with 160 yards of total offense along with two TDs -- one 20+ yard run, one 1-yard plunge. Hawks win easily, 20-3.

Dangit, I missed last week since I had the day off work and forgot.

Bummer!

This week, it’ll be all about BANE! Mebane gets into the backfield with 1 sack and blows up 3 Steven Jackson run plays behind the line of scrimmage.

I hope this is true because I really want to see MeBane’s sack dance.

Seahawks pull it out, but it’s a lot closer than we all hoped— 20 – 17.

Well Bane had a great game, even if he didn't get the sack. He did get a few TFLs though.

No sack dance, though. Frown.

Doug Baldwin messes with the Rams injured secondary

I’m expecting 8-120 and a TD from Dougie Fresh this weekend.

Seahawks win comfortably 27-13.

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

Hawks 20, Rams 10

And my Hawk is T-Jack with 275 yds and 2 TDs through the air, on… let’s say 19-of-28 pass attempts. It’s tempting to pick Beast Mode against that horrid run defense, but I’m not overly confident in the line right now. I just don’t see Beast Mode getting the yardage he has in previous games (feel free to throw things at me when he hits the 150-yard mark).

This feels like a game the Hawks should win.

We lose those games usually. So I’m thinking the rams win a squeaker 19-17.

The match up says Hawks all the way and so does the injury report, but the Rams screen pass us into oblivion with Jackson.

I’ll take Baldwin coming close to the century mark on 7 catches with a TD.

70% of space is covered by dark matter, the rest by ET.

T-Jack has to throw

Jackson 350 plus yards with 3TD’s and no picks. However he is sacked 8 times with the Duct tape offensive line in place. Thank goodness for a moving pocket.

Seahawks win 31-26.
