00:00Let's head up to the Pacific Northwest, and still we're looking at 2-0 football teams,

00:07and that includes the Seattle Seahawks.

00:082-0 through the first two games here, points scored 49, points given up 40, which means

00:13they've been in tough games here.

00:15Their preseason win total, Dubsy 7.5, now also sits at 9.5 like the Minnesota Vikings.

00:20If you look at their first two games here, the Denver Broncos, 26-20, nice victory for

00:26them.

00:27Nick Bonick, I should say, in that first game struggled a little bit, but the credit to

00:31the defense for holding them down.

00:32Week number two against the Patriots, go on the road and pick up a victory, 23-20.

00:37Now you're not playing the best teams in the NFL when we talk about the Broncos and the

00:40Patriots, and we understand that, but they still got two victories.

00:43Now they take on the Miami Dolphins, which we would have thought would have been an AFC

00:47contender.

00:48Now without two attack of Iloa, they could be able to win this game and move to 3-0.

00:52So are you liking so far, Dubsy, what you're seeing out of the Seattle Seahawks?

00:56I'm liking a bit, Donnie, but not enough to jump on that win total and send it over.

01:01This is probably one where I see the odds makers adjusting a little too quickly, and

01:05I'm now thinking, well, maybe towards the unders.

01:08They're going to get the Dolphins in a good spot.

01:10Geno's look pretty strong, but again, same thing we've seen in the last couple of years.

01:14They struggle to stop the run and get that dominance going up front there.

01:18So for the Seattle Seahawks, I think this one could be a little fraudulent at 2-0.

01:22Not to say it's going to be a referendum spot coming in for week three, but I'd want to

01:25see a little more before backing there with confidence.

01:28But again, Donnie, a similar theme for a lot of these teams who didn't have great expectations

01:33coming in for a new year.

01:34You start putting a couple of wins together, suddenly things in the locker room are feeling

01:38a lot better.

01:39You're playing with a bit more confidence and you're moving in the right direction.

01:42So this is a good spot for Seattle coming up against the Miami Dolphins with no tour,

01:46but I'd want to see a little more before I'd really buy in to even possibly thinking overs

01:52on that win total at 9.5.
