Beginning this very weekend, it's going to be a tough second half to the 2023 season...
- Baltimore Ravens - 6 & 2 current record, with a plus 81 points differential.
- Washington Commanders (Redskins) - 3 & 5 current record, with a minus 57 points differential.
- LA Rams - 3 & 5 current record, with a minus 9 point differential.
- San Francisco 49'ers - 5 & 3 current record, with a plus 78 point differential.
- Dallas Cowboys - 5 & 2 current record, with a plus 77 point differential.
- San Francisco 49'ers - 5 & 3 current record, with a plus 78 point differential.
- Philadelphia Eagles - 7 & 1 current record, with a plus 52 point differential.
Statistically speaking, those teams listed above have a combined +300 point differential. Divided by seven games, that is almost a 43 point advantage that those teams have over their rivals to date, or about 6 points per game on average.
At this point in time, the Seahawks have only a +30 point advantage over their rivals this year, which equates to about a 4.25 point advantage for all those other teams. So why am I pointing this out....?
Because it's less than a two point difference per game (1.75) points per game in fact, and that can go either way.
I especially like the Seahawks run game, which is important in bad weather during December & January, and I also like what they are doing with the D-Line. NT/DE Leonard Williams makes the game tougher on those other teams mentioned above.
