Pros
- At the present time, the 9th-most pass-oriented team in the NFL (62.9% in a neutral context) according to the projection model is the Seahawks.
- Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is predicted by the model to see 130.2 plays on offense run: the 5th-most on the slate this week.

- The 5th-fewest plays in football have been run by the Seahawks this year (a mere 53.8 per game on average).
- Tyler Lockett’s 53.0 adjusted receiving yards per game this season shows a significant decline in his pass-catching talent over last season’s 65.0 figure.
