Is Seattle Overrated in the NFC West NFL Week 7 Discussion

00:03 - Who do you trust in terms of a side, Seattle or Arizona?
00:05 - I like the dog.
00:06 And the reason is not to knock in terms of Geno Smith,
00:09 but I think it's a team
00:10 that's over exceeding expectations right now.
00:12 And again, I was the guy that bet Seattle
00:15 over the five and a half last year.
00:16 They get to the wild card round,
00:18 they go toe to toe with San Francisco,
00:20 play with them for a quarter or two at the half,
00:23 and then lose that match up all eyes.
00:25 Everybody that sold Seattle last year
00:27 is now buying them back this year
00:29 in terms of this is the team, second best team
00:31 in terms of the NFC West, Donnie, and I just don't buy it.
00:34 From a defensive perspective,
00:36 I know they lit up the New York Giants,
00:38 but that second there has given up 281 passing yards
00:41 per game, it's a divisional game.
00:43 I know it's Josh Dobbs,
00:44 I know the rushing attack has been a little inconsistent
00:47 since James Connors out of that lineup,
00:49 but on the road, I like Arizona here.
00:52 Bounce back spot, not to win,
00:54 but to cover potentially the back door at eight and a half.
00:56 And I'll just say this in terms of the big picture.
00:59 Yes, it's San Francisco.
01:00 I believe the second best team in the West is the LA Rams.
01:04 I'm not sold on the Seattle Seahawks
01:07 as being this dominant team,
01:08 and that's why I'm taking the points today, Donnie.
01:10 - They should be able to move the four and two
01:11 in comfortably today, but in Kevin's respect last week,
01:15 they should be called the Arizona Eliminators now
01:17 because everybody's gonna line up their Eliminator pools.
01:19 Last week, I said, you know what,
01:20 I'm gonna not take on a Thursday night football game
01:22 the Kansas City Chiefs,
01:23 'cause I thought they would beat the Denver Broncos,
01:25 and they did, but you know what,
01:26 now's a perfect time to use the Rams.
01:27 I'm telling you right now at the half,
01:28 I was like, I don't know what the Rams are doing,
01:29 but it looks like they're gonna probably
01:30 lose this football game.
01:31 A big second half here,
01:32 which maybe that's what you want out of Arizona now
01:34 from an ownership perspective.
01:35 Hey, let's just play well, but not win football games
01:37 because we might need a new quarterback
01:39 at the end of the season.
01:39 Having said that, no way shape or form,
01:41 Seattle should be a nine and a half point favorite today.
01:43 Now, am I running to the window right now, guys,
01:45 and saying, boy, let me just take the points?
01:47 Not necessarily, but DK Metcalf
01:48 might be banged up for this game.
01:50 Then he leads on Tyler Lockett,
01:52 who again, also, hamstring injuries
01:54 over the past couple weeks here.
01:55 Jackson Smith to Jigba, maybe lean on him as well.
01:57 But the key to victory in this game,
01:59 Kenneth Walker III, 100 yards, two touchdowns for me.
02:02 I don't think it's gonna be that tough of a look here,
02:05 to be honest.
