Seattle 20 - Buffalo 10.

 

I´ll root hard for the Bills, and would love to be wrong, but right now I don´t see us winning the game. But if the ST play very well and give us good field position, then there´s a chance.

 

Alexander will have more than 100 yards today, and Hasselbeck will pass for good yardage. So our O must put points on the board. The easiest way to do that is not needing to have long drives.

Bills have had only one 100 yard rusher ... and it lead to a blowout ... so if they hold Alexander to less than 85 .. score will be close.

 

Special teams have been VERY special .. can they do it again??

 

Based on http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameff.php

 

These are the Football Outsiders team efficiency ratings for 2004, measured by our proprietary Value Over Average (VOA) system that breaks down every single play and compares a team's performance to the league averaged based on situation in order to determine value over average. (Explained further here.)

 

OFFENSE and DEFENSE DVOA are adjusted based on strength of opponent as well as to consider all fumbles, kept or lost, as equal value. SPECIAL DVOA is adjusted for type of stadium (warm, cold, dome, Denver) and week of season. NON-ADJ TOTAL VOA does not include these adjustments.

 

As always, positive numbers represent more points so DEFENSE is better when it is NEGATIVE.

 

Buffalo is #28 in offense, #5 in defense and #1 on special teams

 

Seattle is #19 in offense, #8 in defense and #27 in special teams

 

Special teams could be the difference.

 

So if they hold Alexander under 85 and special teams outscores theirs by at least 7 points ... Buffalo 17, seattle 14 ... if not Seattle 24, Buffalo 10
