Game of the Week: Fight for the Top Spot

The game of the week should be a goody. The Seahawks (10-1) and Saints (9-2) will go at it tonight at CenturyLink Field in Seattle in what could be the biggest regular season game of the year to this date. This game could decide who has the #1 seed in the Playoffs and home-field advantage. Home-field advantage is huge for these two teams, as they both are fantastic at home and play in rowdy environments. Seattle is one of the loudest atmospheres in all of sports. The Seahawks will be missing Brandon Browner (groin) and Walter Thurmond (suspension) against Drew Brees and the high flying Saints offensive attack. The Saints' defense has improved drastically this year. However, I think they will have a tough time stopping Marshawn Lynch. I expect Lynch to have a big day and open up the passing attack for Russell Wilson with a healthy Percy Harvin.
My Prediction: Seahawks 27 Saints 24
My Season Record: 6-6
