Prediction:
The Seahawks look like they’ve found the answer to their rushing woes with Julius Jones becoming the featured back since Maurice Morris was shelved because of a knee injury. In turn, QB Matt Hasselbeck has been better and the losses to Deion Branch and Bobby Engram in the passing game have at least been neutralized a bit. But the Hawks have a tough road test this week against the undefeated Giants, who are well rested coming off a bye week themselves. Eli Manning and Brandon Jacobs should have no problems generating scoring opportunities against a Seattle defense that has not been good this year in three games. If New York can stuff Jones, Hasselbeck should expect plenty of heat in the pocket. We predict the Giants over the Seahawks 27-16.
