Seattle vs Tennessee Prediction
Interesting spot here for Tennessee, as they have little to play for, but have remained somewhat competitive in spite of inconsistent quarterback play. Seattle is right in the thick of the NFC Wild Card picture, and after snapping a four-game skid right in time with a strong win over Philly, they have to capitalize on this matchup with the slumping Titans. Tennessee has traded their last four games, with both losses coming by three points each, so tilting the spread may bring a bit more security here. Trust Pete Carroll’s ballclub this weekend, and back Seattle for this Christmas Eve battle.
