Pete Prisco’s Week 1 picks are in, and the verdict for our Seahawks is clear: total domination of the Patriots, a projected 26-14 victory this Wednesday. This isn’t just some random prediction, folks, this is the first taste of regular season glory, and Prisco sees us kicking things off with a massive statement.
Super Bowl Rematch, Same Story
Remember that February showdown? Yeah, Prisco does too, and he says this Week 1 clash is gonna feel mighty familiar. He’s got our Hawks coming out firing, predicting a straight-up *domination*. A 26-14 victory? That’s not just a win, that’s a statement, especially against a team we absolutely handled in the biggest game of the year. Prisco points out what we all saw: their offense looked totally lost in the postseason, and especially against our defense in that Super Bowl. Looks like nothing’s changed on that front. And to open the season on the road, facing our guys after *that*? He calls it a “tough ask,” and he’s not wrong. They’re gonna feel the pressure from the 12s, even through the TV.
Chaos of Week 1, Clarity for the Hawks
Look, Week 1 is always a wild card. Pete Prisco himself admits it’s “as complicated as it gets.” Nobody knows who’s good, who’s bad, how new coaches will land, or if those returning from injury are truly back. Even out in Australia, where the Rams are playing the 49ers, Prisco sees a tight one. He thinks the “trendy Super Bowl pick” Rams will sneak a win late, 28-27. Stars on both sides, he says. Sounds like a classic West Coast slugfest. And what about the Buffalo Bills trying to break a six-game skid in Houston against the Texans? Prisco says Josh Allen “hasn’t been himself” against that Texans defense. Yikes. But he’s banking on a “much more aggressive” Bills squad, forcing C.J. Stroud into turnovers and grabbing a 23-20 win. These early picks are all about setting the tone, right? And Prisco’s got us starting strong.
So, mark your calendars, clear your Wednesday night! We kick off the season at 8:20 p.m. on NBC. This isn’t just Week 1, it’s a chance to remind everyone in the league exactly who we are, right from the jump. Our guys are fired up, no doubt. Let’s get loud, 12s, and watch our Seahawks prove Prisco absolutely right.
