Week 3 is here, and listen up, 12s, because the NFL’s “learned pro football blowhards” just dropped their picks, and the biggest news for us? Every single one of them is backing our Seattle Seahawks to beat the Washington Commanders! That’s right, a unanimous vote of confidence for the green and blue as we roll into this week.
The Unanimous Shoutout From the Pros
Talk about a vote of confidence! When these pros make their calls, a unanimous pick means they think it’s a sure thing. Our Hawks are right there with some of the league’s heavy hitters. We’re talking the Kansas City Chiefs over the Miami Dolphins, the Cincinnati Bengals over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Lions over the New York Jets, and the San Francisco 49ers over the Arizona Cardinals, all getting that full staff backing. The Buffalo Bills over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Minnesota Vikings over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams over the Denver Broncos, and the Philadelphia Eagles over the Chicago Bears also got the same unanimous love. To be grouped with teams like the Chiefs and 49ers in the “no-brainer” category? That tells you something about how the league is seeing our squad early in the season. These picks aren’t just guesses either, with @Dahln_2 leading the pack in Week 2 at an insane 13-3 (81%) and sitting at 30-18 (63%) for the season, so these folks know their stuff.
When Opinions Diverge, But Not For Our Hawks
Not every game got that kind of crystal-clear consensus, though. Some of these “blowhards” actually disagreed! We saw some interesting splits on the board. The Houston Texans over the Indianapolis Colts was a 5-1 pick, with “GA Skol” as the lone dissenter. Same story for the Tennessee Titans over the New York Giants and the Baltimore Ravens over the Dallas Cowboys, both 5-1 picks where “Eric” went against the grain. Even the Green Bay Packers over the Atlanta Falcons was a 5-1 split, and “Warren” actually got that one right by picking against the pack! Then there were the 4-2 calls, like the Jacksonville Jaguars over the New England Patriots, where “GA Skol” and “Shawn” saw things differently, and the New Orleans Saints over the Las Vegas Raiders had “Chris” and “GA Skol” feeling bold. No 3-3 splits this week, which means at least *most* of these folks were leaning one way or another. But when it comes to our Hawks, there was zero debate.
So what does this mean for our Seattle Seahawks heading into Week 3? It means the experts, the ones tracking these games week after week, have serious belief in our team right now. They aren’t just giving us a nod, they’re stamping us as a team that should get the job done against the Washington Commanders. This kind of early season confidence from across the league is exactly what we want to see. Let’s see if our Hawks can make these “learned blowhards” look smart and keep that early season momentum rolling. We’re ready for kickoff, let’s go!
