His reasoning is because Bruce Irvin is too fast for our offense? Obviously doesn't understand the concept of the no huddle and mismatches. Let's see how fast he is when Ridley is running right at him with Vollmer and Gronk leading the way.

The Patriots did OK against Von Miller for the most part.

Can Bruce Irvin defend the screen pass? Unless the answer is yes, I'm not intimidated. Everything I've seen, he's a pin-your-ears-back speed rusher. The way to beat that in the NFL is pretty well documented.

Default Pats vs Seahawks : CBS Sports Expert Picks

At CBS Sports all nine panelists are picking the Pats to win.

NFL Picks - Straight Up - Week 6 - CBSSports.com


Picking against the spread (Pats -3½) five go with the Pats to win by 4 or more points and three go with the Pats to win by 3 or less. Pete Prisco, Mike Freeman, Jason La Canfora, Josh Katzowitz and Ryan Wilson go with the Pats to cover while Clark Judge, Dave Richard and Will Brinson think Seattle keeps it to a FG or less.

NFL Picks - Against the Spread - Week 6 - CBSSports.com


Phil Simms thinks the Pats will win a low scoring game.

Didn't see any columns there yet with analysis or reasons for the picks.

Mike Florio and Michael David Smith from Pro Football Talk are both going with the Patriots.

PFT’s Week Six picks | ProFootballTalk


Patriots at Seahawks

MDS’s take: I’m having a hard time getting a read on either of these teams. Are the Patriots the team that turned in a disappointing effort at home against the Cardinals, or the team whose offense has been all but unstoppable against the Bills and Broncos? Are the Seahawks the team that dominated Dallas or the team whose offense could hardly move the ball at all in their other four games? I don’t know, but I think the Patriots’ offense is good enough to put a lot of points on the board against a good Seattle defense.

MDS’s pick: Patriots 28, Seahawks 14.

Florio’s take: After the Seahawks beat the Cowboys by 20, I said I’d never pick against the Seahawks at home again. But I hadn’t looked at the schedule. The Pats won there in 2008, without Tom Brady. With him, the Pats will run their all-time record at CenturyLink Field to 2-0.

Florio’s pick: Patriots 27, Seahawks 17.

So peter king picks them becasue he doesn't think our line can block their line? And that's it? Nothing to do with how they can't throw the ball or anything

the problem with King's analysis is that he is basing his opinion SOLELY on bruce irvin and the speed rush. But he forgot that Seattle has no offense.

The Pats HAVE to learn to win low-scoring games. I think this will be a very low score and I really hope the Pats win!

I don't take Peter King's predictions too seriously. He did pick the Broncos to win the super bowl this year....2-3...yup, straight to the SB.
