The Seahawks finally got their offense on track, but still managed to lose in the process last week. Can they bounce back against the Colts on Sunday night?
The Seattle Seahawks were one of the more interesting teams coming into the 2017 season and looked like they could be a serious contender in the NFC. But, they can’t seem to get both sides of their game going and they’ll need to show that they can compete on Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Seahawks have only seen one side or the other of their game show up over the first few weeks of the season, with their defense shining in some games while their offense struggles or vice versa. Against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2, the defense was solid, but their offense fell flat. In Week 3, the opposite occurred, and their defense couldn’t help the offense out in a losing effort.
On the other end, the Colts saw their offense explode against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, with Jacoby Brissett coming around with a great performance both in the air and on the ground for the team under center. The Seahawks defense is a different beast than the Browns, but who knows which version of the Legion of Boom will show up on Sunday night?
Odds: Seahawks -14, according to SportsBook Review.
The Seahawks are heavily favored going into the game against the Colts, and it makes sense on paper. However, this is the same team that struggled to put up points against the 49ers, who gave up what felt like 100 points to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3 just four days later.

Obviously, anything can happen, but the Seahawks offense looks like it finally came together in Week 3, and it should be able to carry the team against the Colts, regardless of how the defense does.
Pick: Seahawks, 31, Colts, 14
