#277/278 ASA PLAY ON Under 38.5 Points – Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots, Sunday at 1 PM ET - Despite both teams getting wins last week, the defenses looked much better than the offenses. New England scored just 16 points vs the Bengals on only 4.5 YPP. The Pats stuck to the ground game as we expect they will again with 39 rushing attempts and just 24 pass attempts. Starting QB Brissett is not a QB that strikes fear in opposing defenses and he passed for only 120 yards on 4.8 yards per attempt. They were the only team in the NFL last week without a an offensive play that went more than 20 yards. Now they face a very solid Seattle defense with new HC Macdonald who was the coordinator of the Ravens high end defense the last 2 seasons. The Pats offense will struggle on Sunday. Seattle’s offense put up 26 points last week but barely averaged 5.0 YPP. Starting RB Walker accounted for more than one-third of Seattle’s entire offense last week and it looks like he won’t play on Sunday due to an oblique injury. That’s a big loss for this offense that also prefers to run the ball (33 rush attempts / 25 pass attempts). New England’s defense is high level. They completely shut down Cincy’s offense and Joe Burrow (154 yards passing) last week giving up just 10 points on 224 total yards. New England is 10-6 to the Under last 2 years at home with average total points scored just 36. This should be an ugly offensive game and we don’t project either team to reach 20 points.
