John Breech, the NFL picks guru who spent nine hours trying to figure out who’s actually good this season, just dropped his Week 7 predictions, and one particular forecast is going to hit hard for anyone bleeding green and blue in the Emerald City. He’s got the Kansas City Chiefs set to “edge” our Seahawks, and you know that’s not what any 12 wants to hear.
The Parity Problem, Or Is It?
Breech’s overall take on the league right now? Brutal, but maybe honest. He thinks only the 49ers and the Chiefs are truly “good” teams in the entire NFL. He almost scratched the Niners after they nearly blew a 20-point lead against the Commanders, and while he considered the Vikings and Bills, he doesn’t trust the Vikings’ offense or the Bills’ defense. Every other team, and yeah, that includes us if this prediction holds, is basically “average” with at least two losses already. He says the league has achieved its goal of “total parity,” making every single week feel completely unpredictable. That’s a nice way of saying most teams are just… fine. And being picked to get “edged” by one of the *only* two “good” teams? That’s the challenge ahead for Coach Macdonald and the squad.
Injuries, Movies, and Other Wild Week 7 Takes
Beyond the tough prediction for our Hawks, Breech’s deep dive into Week 7 also throws out some wild stuff around the league. Take the Patriots playing the Bears on Thursday night, for example. Breech is expecting New England’s injury report to look like a seven-yard-long CVS receipt, because apparently, that’s a thing now. Seriously, the Patriots lost 60% of their starting offensive line against the Jets last Sunday alone, with LG Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring), RG Ben Brown, and RT Morgan Moses (ankle) all going down. Plus, Romeo Doubs left injured too. They could be without their FB, WR2, WR3, LG, RG, RT, RG2, RG3, and CB2! That’s just insane for Week 7. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears, their opponents, are riding high on some Hallmark Channel magic. Apparently, NFL teams featured in Hallmark movies average 13.5 wins per season. Breech is even wondering if he should add the Bears to his “good” list because of “Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story” premiering right now. Hey, whatever works, right?
Look, it’s just one prediction from one guy. But for the 12s, hearing our Hawks are about to get “edged” by a “good” team like Kansas City? That’s a challenge printed in bold. Our guys need to prove Breech wrong and show that the Emerald City is home to more than just an “average” squad. Let’s bring that Lumen Field energy and flip this script!
