It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I'm not overlooking a game at Qwest Field (the loudest in football) against a seasoned QB like Hasselbeck. We will be challenged. I think we can win, but remember that Seattle has played a couple of 7-5 teams (AZ, Wash) very close at home w/ Hasselbeck back in the lineup.
Seattle had these scores in three successive weeks in November:Seattle is awful. You think our pass defense is bad ? Seattle's passer rating against is second worst in the league only beating out Detroit. They're also 3rd worst in yards per attempt against the pass. I don't care how loud their crowd is, we had better win this one going away is we're going to say the "P" word.
It depends on your perspective. From an absolute standpoint, you're right - it isn't. But if we think we are a potential playoff team then it had better be. This isn't a game a playoff team just eeks out.Being devil's advocate, some, but this game is no gimme.
So, your prediction is more what the Pats better do than an objective prediction for the game. Just for grins, odds right now are Pats 4.5 to 5.5 favorites, at least in the minds of the gambling czars at the site below. Jets, by comparison, are just 3.5 to 4 point faves at SFO. These two games are at the same time and I get to watch the Jets in glorious HD or the Pats via JustinTV.It depends on your perspective. From an absolute standpoint, you're right - it isn't.

Mine wasn't so much of a prediction as a commentary on how I'll feel about the Patriots after the game. If we win on a last second FG I'll be happy but highly dubious that we belong anywhere near the playoffs.So, your prediction is more what the Pats better do than an objective prediction for the game.

LB Leroy Hill has a nerve problem in his shoulder and neck area and is doubtful for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
