Seahawks, Huskies Football Preview/Predictions
November 6th, 2009 by nwsportsguyLet’s start with the team that seems to have something positive going for it: The Washington Huskies. We play Rick Neuhiesel and the UCLA Bruins away this Saturday at 12:30pm. The game will be shown on FSN.
Both teams have been very inconsistent so far this year, each with 3-5 records. The difference is the Bruins have won zero conference games, while the Dawgs have won two.
After being questionable with a deep thigh bruise, Jake Locker will start against the Bruins. This obviously gives UW a huge advantage and leads my to the following prediction: UW 30, UCLA 27.
Seahawks
I’d rather not waste too much of my energy on the Seahawks at this
point, so I’ll make it quick: We play an atrocious Detroit Lions
team who have won only one game all season – against the Washington
“We didn’t know Jim Zorn couldn’t coach” Redskins.
We are injured at pretty much every position, but most notably at the offensive line. In contrast, the Lions have their big stars coming back – Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford.
Prediction (Seattle favored by 10.5):
The Hawks have nothing going for them right now. At 2-5, our playoff hopes are all but gone. Thus, I see us having problems with motivation. I hate to do it, but I’m calling a Detroit win, 23-20.
