I think Tariq is going to see a steady diet of Mack Hollins @ RCB. Jackson is playing well but Adams has been on a tear and the Raiders will likely prefer that matchup.
But I think the Hawks win pretty handily... and I think it's actually going to be a K9 game. The Raiders also suck at stopping the run and you know Pete would love to run it down their throats.
I'm cautious about game visions. Recipe for disappointment. Frankly, I'm not confident Seattle wins this game. I'd give our guys a 70% chance but that leaves 30%, give or take.
Hoping Walker runs more effectively than last week. Ultimately, win or lose, we'll be fine. As someone in the comments recently said, this year we're playing with house money.
Also hoping beyond hope that Denver loses. That unhealthy obsession. Should just stick my head in the sand until the end of the season rather than ghoulishly rooting against a team that's done nothing to offend me. In fact, I appreciate the shellacking they took at the 2013 Superbowl. That was awesome!
My primary vision this week is of a Raider WR having an emotional meltdown and throwing a first class pissy fit on the sidelines, ala Antonio Brown, as the Seahawks cruise to a fairly simple win.
Other than that, I'm seeing our second favorite team, the Carolina Panthers, pull away in the third quarter as most of the Broncos have their very own little temper tantrums and the Denver season is unofficially declared over.
As the defense focuses on stopping the Raiders run game, Carr takes his shots downfield and Quandre Diggs reminds us that he's really good with two interceptions.
Hawks have their best YAC game of the year with big plays from Fant, DK and K9 resulting from shockingly successful screen passes.
The defense holds Jacobs under 100 total yards. DK goes over 100 and so does Goodwin!
K9 (sorry I don’t love this nickname) breaks 2-3 explosive runs and finishes over 100 with another score. Lastly our rookie tackles hold Maxx and Chandler to 1 sack.
I’m scared we’re being a bit over-confident. Especially given that Genoa’s last performance was more like most expected from him prior to him being the starter. I’ll just be happy if we win. My vision is we will, but it will be closer than we’d like.
I truly enjoyed the Larry David clip. The man has a great knack of knowing what's funny.

Seahawks vision I see this as tight but successful game. If Seattle is able to play well in the first quarter the game should go our way, much like the Giants game. You have given us some great stats to get a feel of what will work. Seattle throws the ball to set up the run. The reverse bootleg throw to the tightend should keep Max Crosby at bay. I would love to see K9 involved in the passing game like he was in Germany. There is no reason he can't play the same game and be even more destructive on the ground than Kamara. I think we will see a change in our D Line bring back Monet, and LJ Collier. Josh Jacobs is a good runningback and we need to plug his rushing lanes like we did the Chargers Eckler. We will also get our first glimpse of Trey Brown, probably only on special teams. Dk Metcalf gets over 100 yds with two TDs. My disclaimer to this is DK needs to catch four balls in stride. DK needs a little room in order for him to round some defenders, he is not a zig zag guy. Speaking of YAK this is why K9 needs to be a focal point and a little more Goodwin would also help. I am quite sure Pete will have the team ready.
I'm worried because it always feels like we come out flat after a bye, and even more so when we are facing a weak opponent. This Seahawks team is firmly in the "mediocre to pretty good" tier, while the Raiders are close to the lowest tier, and certainly *should* be easy to score on. There's enough separating these two teams that I expect a win, but games aren't played on paper. I've ended my folly of looking at the schedule and penciling in wins and losses. Think of how bad the Bucs running game is... or was until we faced them 2 weeks ago. Weird stuff happens in football games, and there are just so many variables on each play that can wind up determining the outcome.
That said, my guy pintrest prediction is for Walker to have a career (so far) game and score 3 TDs. Metcalf will also add one, and the tight ends another. And the defense does enough to keep the game from being close. 16-38, Seahawks.
SNL is really not funny. At least to me, I guess I should add. I have a buddy into comedy who watches religiously and he even doesn't think it's funny. But he sent me a clip that was pretty good of a white guy in an office saying "you look great today," and all the ladies getting offended, while the black guy would say, "OH, that dress makes me wanna wax that ass!" And all the ladies would laugh. Funny enough, and some social commentary about how things are taken differently depending on who says them, but I went over to his house one Saturday night and he put the show on and they repeated virtually the very same skit only with a couple of different actors. I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was, but as little SNL as I see, it was bizarre seeing them basically tell the same exact joke twice in a month's time.
Larry David is funny, though. Shame he's in trouble over that ad. But it's wild to me that anyone would want to sue him over a failed crypto he was paid to endorse. I lost 7K in that market myself and would have only put $100 or so if looked at it like sports gambling. I should have never put money down unless I could reasonably joke that I never wanted to see it again. I know a ton of people got it worse, and lost their life savings, etc. but that doesn't make it sting less. I too, am an idiot.
My visions are not wishes, but actual visions from attempting to channel my inner Hunter S. Thompson.
The fear and loathing has left Las Vegas and is coming to Seattle. The Raiders will receive a beat down that will challenge their belief in humanity.
To wit…
Ken Walker -200 yards.
Geno Smith - 350+ yards.
Tariq Woolen - 2 INTs
Tre Brown- 2 passes defended.
Uchenna Nwosu - 2 sacks and another almost sack.
And lots of other great stuff.
I think this is the weekend the Hawks are firing on all cylinders, the crowd is roaring and all will be right.

As long as the team doesn’t spend today and tomorrow indulging in turkey leftovers they can be wide awake on Sunday.

Raiders chances of winning are about the same as an Armadilla crossing the strip in Vegas successfully...can be done...but the crows like their odds.
Seahawks have a post Thanksgiving feast.
Diggs with 2 INT
Defense gets 7 sacks
