The Seattle Seahawks (1-0) travel across the country looking to start their season with back-to-back wins as they line up against the New England Patriots (1-0) in Foxboro, MA. It is a matchup of rookie head coaches.
Jerod Mayo was victorious in his debut as Head Coach of the Pats. New England surprised the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, holding them to 13 first downs and a mere 224 yards of total offense in a 16-10 win. Rhamondre Stevenson was arguably the lone star on the field for either side in the game, rushing for 120 yards and 1 TD.
Mike Macdonald led the Seahawks to a 26-20 victory over the Denver Broncos last weekend. Not unlike the Pats, Seattle relied heavily on its run game with Kenneth Walker III totaling 103 yards and 1 TD.
Lets dive into the matchup.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) expects it to take some time for the offenses to get rolling Sunday.
“Let’s talk about one of those teams flying across the country for a 1pm game and that’s the Seattle Seahawks taking on the Patriots. There’s no better look than a 1st Quarter UNDER 7½ for that matchup. Not only did Seattle squeak out 3 points in their Week 1 game, New England held Cincy scoreless in the first half of their game. So, I like the 1st Quarter UNDER 7½ Total Points.”
