Giants vs. Seahawks Recap

I’m on the Seahawks here. I get the allure of fading the Seahawks after the defense looked awful against the Lions, but the Seahawks had a bit of a cupcake schedule through the first 3 games and fell flat in their first tough test. So what. It happens. The Seahawks go back to the bakery for another cupcake here against a Giants team that has only kept games close in losses this season because their opponent shot themselves in the foot like Dallas did when Aubrey missed the kick late in that game for the cover. I think Seattle opens it up at home and gets the win and cover here. Give me the Seahawks.
