Winston throws a decent "deep ball"
ETIII out.
I don't like it.
Coming off a couple of big wins.
I won't jinx us with a prediction.

We need to score a lot, and we will.
Seahawks 31, Bucs 23

Bucs 27
Seahawks 24

Yep, there are lots of injuries, and some key players out; but this team responds to adversity by rising above. Vegas says Hawks by 6 despite the betting lines almost all taking the under. Vegas was wrong about the Patriots and said the Eagles games would be closer but they've been burned a lot by the come from behind cardiac kids we all love.
I think our backups are going to kick some Buccaneer Butts on Sunday, Some of them have a few things to prove and the vets remaining are for sure the #1 scoring D. TB will not run on this D with any success and the DBs will shut down their pass D so it doesn't gouge them. It's not a 10 a.m. game and the O has recently kicked it into gear. I truly expect to see RW work some magic, play action with Rawls setting their D up and a return of the read option. I think the Hawks will win going away and the spread will get covered easily.
Hawks by 15+ with very little drama and a good reliable undisputed convincing W. The Hawks have a clear idea that getting to the big game is easily within this team's ability this year and this is just another championship opportunity.
After the NE game, and the convincing last game dispatch of the former #1 Philly scoring D to the real #1 scoring D, I'm a bit surprised by some of the negativity and the fretting here. I believe the Hawks ihave a very solid team which will only get stronger as the season progresses and they return to health. Meanwhile it will be next man up, those men will show up.
I say 34-13 Seahawks.

Source:Explosive plays will be a potential deciding factor in this game. Seattle has five games this year with at least eight explosive plays on offense (16+ yard pass, 12+ yard run). They have won each of those games and averaged 30.4 points. There is reason to expect this will be the sixth such game.
Even with the injuries this year, Seattle ranks fifth in the NFL in explosive pass plays. The Bucs defense ranks dead last in surrendering explosive passes. That will not get any easier should their best corner be sidelined and with their nickel back suspended.
The Bucs are not much better in defending big rushing plays. They rank 27th in the NFL in allowing runs of over 12 yards. This is the most advantageous matchup for the Seahawks offense since facing the 49ers.
