Based upon the numbers, this has the potential to be an ugly game, but I don't see it. Both teams are coming off of tough losses. I'm going to take Seattle, as their biggest advantage is in pressuring the quarterback. Plus, Matthew Stafford is coming off an injury, and Kevin Smith and Calvin Johnson are both injured. Final score 41-10 Seattle.
Carolina at New Orleans
The Sedric Ellis injury hurts the Saints in this one, because Carolina wants to run the ball with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. That said, Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense can move the ball at will, and is excellent in the red zone. It may be a closer than most think, but New Orleans wins. Final score 34-24.
San Diego at New York Giants
This is another intriguing matchup. The Giants have a lot to prove after their whooping by the Eagles. San Diego has suffered through several injuries on both the offensive and defensive fronts, while the Giants secondary has been banged up. I'm going to take the Chargers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants win. Final score 21-17 San Diego.
