NFL Championship Round: 5 bold predictions
By Ryan Ratty
Seahawks Get Two Turnovers
Right now, the Seahawks’ defense is another level. Over the past seven weeks, the Seahawks have given up just 56 points, which is an average of just eight points per game. Currently, Seattle is ranked third against the run and first against the pass. Yes Seattle will have their toughest test of the season against one of the hottest offenses in the league and perhaps the league’s best player in Aaron Rodgers. However, Seattle is going to be able to get after Rodgers, who is playing at probably just 80%.
That being said, the Seahawks are going to be able to get some opportunities for takeaways in this game. Seattle has three of the best secondary players in Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor. Add in the vaunted pass rush because of guys like Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril, and it is easy to see why they have all the ability in the world to keep Rodgers off his game.
