The PNW Seahawks always seem to have a chip on their shoulders when the media or general public is counting them out. I liked that last year when i knew we had a pretty good thing going with the new Geno, but we just never had enough "pop" on the defense to back up any swagger you need for the big games.
This year we have a whole lotta popping going on and the team is starting to get an identity of toughness and bravado we haven't seen for a long time.
I don't do sports betting per se, but i do pay a lot of attention to lines since I'm in two different pick ems leagues- and I still can't understand Seattle being 6 point dogs any day or anywhere in the league right now. Opening up the odds site, I expected to see the customary 2.5 - 3 points going to the home team of a very good NFL team in a dogfight, but giving Seattle 6 seems like a major diss to me.
For context, one of the better teams in the league (Lions) were 7 point favorites last week against the complete trainwreck that is the Raiders this year.
Last I checked, we have a pretty stout, hard hitting defense with a potent offense and stellar special teams, a team who happens to LEAD THE NFC WEST coming to Baltimore, and we're barely drawing the same respect that the freaking Raiders did going up against a solid Detroit team.
If everyone wants to start counting us out this much, I'm all for it. I just hope the players and staff notice.
LOL --> Literally between me starting this post and double checking, the line already moved to 5.5! Vegas starting to hedge that bet!
