It comes down to this. The Seahawks are at least a tier better than the Giants. New York isn't very good right now. The Giants are lucky to be 1-2 having led for the grand total of 19 seconds this season.

Seattle gets back one of its top defensive players, versatile safety Jamal Adams, while the Giants are likely to be missing two of their three best offensive players with left tackle Andrew Thomas ruled out and Saquon Barkley doubtful with an ankle injury.

Since laying an egg against the Rams opening week, the Seahawks have beaten the Lions on the road and Panthers. Seattle scored 37 points in each of those wins. I like the Seahawks' skill position players much better than the Giants especially if Barkley is a no-good.

The Giants will have a different offensive line for the fourth time in four weeks. They rank in the bottom-four in points, total yards and passing yards. Daniel Jones has been sacked an average of four times per game.

New York is equally bad on defense. The Giants have no takeaways. They rank in the bottom-five in scoring defense and run defense. I expect emerging star Kenneth Walker III to have a big rushing game thus setting up Geno Smith for effective play-action passes.

The teams met in Seattle last season. The Seahawks won, 27-13.

The Seahawks have a fantastic record in prime-time games under Pete Carroll going 33-14-1 for 70 percent. Seattle won't be holding anything back either being idle this week following this game.
