In their last games the Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs 24-17 and the Seahawks lost to the San Diego Chargers 30-21.
Think the Broncos are out for a little revenge in this game? In the Super Bowl last season they were embarrassed by the Seahawks in one of the most lopsided Super Bowls ever. They are the betting underdog in Seattle in this non-conference game and while they are at 2-0 they have some issues.
The Seahawks were upset last week in sunny +San Diego and their “Legion of Boom” defense was less than impressive giving up 30 points. In the game the Seattle run defense was not bad, but their pass defense, which is supposed to be their strength, allowed Chargers’ QB Phillip Rivers to pass for 284 yards with 3 TD and 0 INT.

They only had 1 sack in the game and if they play like that facing Peyton manning they may be looking at another loss.
The Seahawks had major issues facing big and physical San Diego TE Antonio Games, who caught all 3 of Rivers’ TD passes.
This week they face another TE like that in Julius Thomas, who has 4 TD already with 143 receiving yards averaging over 12 yards per catch.
After a tough season opener where he only averaged 2.7 yards per carry Denver RB Montee Ball was solid in the KC game. He will get his chances facing a Seattle defense, whose main focus has to be from having Manning having a big game.
Russell Wilson had a solid game in the loss to the Chargers, but he did not get much help from Marshawn Lynch, who only had 36 rushing yards after getting 110 in the season opener. The Seahawks have to feed Lynch more and if they can control the ground it will help keep Manning on the sidelines.

It is also key that the Seahawks run the ball more to get more time of possession. In the loss to the Chargers they only had the ball for 17:45 while San Diego had it for 42:15.

Is Seattle still one of the better defensive teams in the league? Yes they are. Last week I think they took the Chargers for granted and Phillip Rivers made them pay.
They are back at home and will not do the same facing Manning and the Seahawks will win this game and cover the spread as well.
