Preview Denver at Seattle On Sunday

The NFL season begins on Sunday with
the Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks.
The Broncos lead the series 35-22. 

Rookie Bo Nix of Oregon is now the
starting quarterback as Russell Wilson 
has moved on to Pittsburgh and we will
see how that goes. Nix is known to throw mostly short to medium passes for the
most part. It will be interesting how head
coach Sean Payton will use him. The
Seahawks will have to watch out for
him when running. So getting him out
of the pocket will be interesting.

The Seahawks right now are six points
favorites. The over/under is at 42.
Both teams will need to show improvement
on the defense. The Seahawks with new
head coach Mike Macdonald will see
some improvement but how much
we will see.

Sean Payton knows how to run a good
offense and the Seahawks have new
offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb whose
last stop was at Washington Huskies.
The Seahawks offense was OK in
preseason however neither of there top
two running backs played. Expect things
to be different in this game. QB Geno
Smith may have a very good season.
Grubb will be working with his strengths.

KennybWalker 3 is expected to play a big
role in the offense both running and 
catching the ball. We don't know yet 
however he and Zach Charbonnet are
supposed to share the load although
the one being the hottest at the time
may get a little bigger chunk. 

The Seahawks receiving core should
all have better seasons. It will be 
interesting to see how many catches
each get. I wouldn't be surprised if
the Seahawks first drive will begin
with establish the run to some degree
but throwing a number of passes too.
I would expect one long pass and we
may see a receiver run the ball. The
same may be the same the Broncos
will do as well. Whoever gets the ball
first may detect how the game goes
although both will begin with their
initial plan of the game.

We will see how both teams do on
the defensive side to. The Seahawks
running a new defense things might
take a few weeks to get things down.
It should be a very interesting game.
Go Hawks!
