Seattle Seahawks @ New Orleans Saints Free Picks NFL Week 11

Seattle Seahawks @ New Orleans Saints Free Picks NFL Week 11: I don’t see the Hawks sticking anywhere close to the Saints. New Orleans is coming off a bye, they are getting healthy when it matters most, they were playing their best football of the season going into their off week – and Seattle comes in playing one game way better than they actually are – yes, I would say everything is heading in New Orleans’ favor. Did I mention that the Seahawks are often pathetic on the road (except for last week, and in Chicago, but still)? This isn’t just a trip to Arizona, either – this one’s all the way in New Orleans, and the Saints are looking to hold their home serve here.

New Orleans puts a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and the Seahawks just don’t have the offensive line to protect ol’ Matty. They’ve been moving and rotating and switching their line around all season long, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they saw a new order of business this week in New Orleans.

The Seahawks haven’t been able to run the ball with much success, and they really have trouble protecting the quarterback. New Orleans has that opportunistic defense, and they apply pressure in bundles. I expect this one to be very one-sided, and that’s why I’m taking the double-digit favorites to cover at home. If Seattle has one area they could convince me that they are better than New Orleans, I might just give them a chance – no, I probably wouldn’t.
