Picks and Predictions For Week 14 Matchup Against The New York Jets
After last Sunday's tough loss to the Giants, the Seahawks (8-4) will look to bounce back this weekend against the winless New York Jets (0-12). It'll be the first time the two teams have squared off since Week 4 of the 2016 season, a 27-17 victory for the Hawks.
Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PT this Sunday at Lumen Field in Seattle. The game will air live on CBS, with 710 ESPN and KIRO 97.3 on the call for radio.
ESPN’s Brady Henderson and Rich Cimini each expect big wins by the Seahawks. Cimini has Seattle winning 31-13, and thinks DK Metcalf is in for a big game: "Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf will have a career receiving day, meaning more than 177 yards," he said. "The Jets have a new defensive coordinator, as Frank Bush replaces the fired Gregg Williams on an interim basis, but they have the same old defense. And the Jets simply don't have any cornerbacks who can match up physically with Metcalf. This could be a historic day."
Henderson likes the Seahawks by a score of 27-14, and predicts Jamal Adams to go for an NFL record against his former team: "As if Jamal Adams facing the team that dealt him to Seattle this summer after a messy divorce isn't enough of a storyline on its own, the All-Pro safety can make NFL history. His team-high 7.5 sacks are a half-sack shy of Adrian Wilson's NFL record for most in a season by a defensive back since those became an official statistic in 1982. With as much as the Seahawks blitz Adams and as motivated as he figures to be against the Jets, there's a good chance he gets the record on Sunday."
NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal also pointed to the Jets’ defensive troubles as the reason for a 31-17 Seahawks win: "Interim head coaches are 3-0 in their first games this season. While Adam Gase remains, perhaps the collective exhale in the Jets' defensive meeting room after Greggggg's [Gregg Williams] departure is worth a few points of happiness. That still won't be enough to fool Russell Wilson, whose recent struggles have come against veteran defenses that can mix coverages in a way the young, talent-poor Jets cornerbacks cannot."
