I think the Seahawks are able to jump out and take control of this game early. It won't snowball and get out of hand like the last time they played, but I like Seattle to win by 10-14. Main reason is that Seattle won't have to scheme like the Eagles did to try to shutdown/slowdown Brees and the passing attack, which is what opened up the running game for the Saints last week. The Seattle corners > New Orleans WRs and Chancellor/Thomas is the best safety tandem in league...should be able to hold Graham in check again.
Overall, Seattle is better at every position on the field except QB and TE. I'm going with the team with the better defense and running game at home (especially considering it might be sloppy weather). Only thing that makes me nervous is that it seems too easy to just say..."oh Seattle in a blow again".
Seattle -8, small
Really like a Seattle -1, Carolina +7 teaser
Whole heartedly agree with your assessment. Seattle either wins this thing by 7 pts or by 10pts. Can't see it being a blowout again and hard to imagine weather not being huge factor for Saints. Kicking game is going to be non factor. Running game, defense and special teams, turnovers all will decide this game - and all of those favor Seattle. Then again any given Sunday not impossible for Saints to upset with some dumb luck.. just keep pounding the Saints guys 
Sip on that plus money honey!
