The Hawks run the ball more than anyone in the league, and Purdy is just as likely to kill a game,  I think Seatle wins and those two qbs combine for 5+ ints 

Seahawks defense is special

I am leaning New England because Stroud has to overcome the noise, the weather, missing Collins and they are gonna pressure the hell out of him. 
 

I feel like Buffalo and Denver is gonna be a tight low scoring game. Toss up. 
 

Seattle at home? Seattle by 10. 
 

Bears and Rams? Tough one. Rams defense is suspect at this level, and weather and the crowd is going to be hard to beat. I don’t know. Home field vs mucho playoff seasoning and Stafford? 
I can’t pick that one either but if I were forced to I go with the experience.

Hate the Bills with a passion but they’re winning it all this year.

Stroud was pressured like hell against Pittsburgh and they are a FAR better pass rush team than NE. Collins being out will be a thing, for sure. New England is a less effective defense than Pittsburgh. I think it still comes down to which QB fugs up the least. 

Weather may be a huge factor with LA. Don't forget that finger injury to Stafford too. In that weather, no less.

Yeah I was almost going to mention the finger but he did so well last week after whatever they did to it at halftime I let it go. It could get hit and messed up worse, it is a weak point. 
 

Weather and home field crowd in Chicago are huge challenges no doubt. I can’t really be confident in LA but the inexperience of Chicago in a game with this stuff at stake is likely to be a factor, enough to make it hard to be confident in them. So who knows….

This I think defense wins it for Seattle and Houston
