Seattle Seahawks Daily Fantasy Spin
Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (knee) will miss Sunday’s road date with the Patriots.
Seattle starting right tackle George Fant (knee) and starting running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) are both listed as doubtful to play on Sunday. Stone Forsythe should fill in for Fant and Zach Charbonnet should ascend to the #1 running back spot this weekend.

New England Patriots Daily Fantasy Spin
New England offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. (undisclosed) and guard Sidy Sow (ankle) have both been ruled out for Sunday’s inter-conference matchup with Seattle. Sow is listed as the team’s starting right guard. Reserve IOL Michael Jordan should fill in for him this weekend.

Seahawks vs. Patriots Betting Prediction:
The public is hammering the Patriots +3 as 68% of the public bets are on the Patriots as of this writing. I think that’s an overreaction to what happened in Week 1. The Pats beat the Bengals 16-10 last weekend in a game where Cincinnati was favored by 7.5 points. The Bengals are a notoriously slow-starting team, and the Patriots were fortunate to recover 2 fumbles in that game. I think they’ll have a tougher go of it against Seattle.
The Seahawks needed a second-half rally to beat the Broncos last weekend, but they got it by scoring 17 points in the second half. Seattle eventually won 26-20. One of the key plays in that game was a 30-yard touchdown reception by running back Zach Charbonnet in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter. With Kenneth Walker III likely out for this game with an oblique injury, Charbonnet figures to get the bulk of the backfield work. The 23-year-old out of UCLA averaged 4.3 yards per carry and 6.3 yards per catch last season. I think he’ll fill in for Walker quite capably, and the Seahawks will win this game by more than a field goal. I’m laying the points with Seattle.
