Seahawks versus Cowboys: Three bold predictions

The Seahawks will have 4 sacks

So I just spent a whole slide talking about how Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is going to have tons of throwing yards against the Seahawks. He will. But I think its because Seattle will get an early lead and the Cowboys will throw more than they run on Sunday. This is both good and bad for Seattle.

Dallas has a lot of good receivers, including Amari Cooper. so Dallas being forced to throw isn’t such a bad thing for them. Against Atlanta in week two, Dallas was down 20-0 in the first quarter. Dallas still ran 31 times but they through 49 times and Prescott connected on 34 completions (and ran for three touchdowns). Four different Cowboys receivers had 6 catches or more.

Sounds ominous, right? But I think Seattle’s secondary is good enough to keep Prescott a quarter step slower than the Falcons and allow Seattle to get some pressure. L.J. Collier will get the first sack of his career. Jamal Adams will get another one. So will Shaquill Griffin on a corner blitz. Benson Mayowa will get the other.

Seattle will still give up lots of passing yards and a bit too many points but they will at least bring some pressure on Prescott. And it will be just enough to complete the next bold prediction.
