Seahawks vs Jets predictions
As the Seattle Seahawks fly over to MetLife Stadium, all eyes will be on quarterback Geno Smith, who's teed up for a promising outing against the Jets. You can expect him to sling the rock around 33 times, completing roughly 22 of those attempts with around 232 yards through the air. He’s also likely to score through the air, which keeps the Jets’ secondary on high alert. Alongside him in the backfield, Kenneth Walker might just move the chains significantly, aiming for about 66 yards on the ground. As one of Seahawks' consistent performers, Walker's ability to find gaps can turn those numbers into big plays.
Flip the field, and you’ve got Aaron Rodgers suiting up for the New York Jets, expected to display his veteran prowess. Rodgers’ arm should be busy, with projections hinting at him throwing over 30 passes. Completing likely around 22 of those tosses for upwards of 235 yards gives the Jets a solid aerial base to build upon. However, it's not all about the air game; Breece Hall could be a key factor too, anticipated to chew up close to 82 yards on the ground. The dynamic between Rodgers’ experience and Hall’s youthful energy could catalyze some critical moments for the Jets.
Looking at both squads, it's gearing up to be a tightly contested clash at MetLife, but Seattle's road form, standing strong at 3-1, might just tip the scales in their favor. The Seahawks' balanced attack, led by Smith and Walker, combined with their slightly better positioning in clutch moments, suggests they might edge out a win in this one. The Jets, despite strong individual performances, might find it challenging to fully capitalize against the Seahawks' determination to dominate MetLife once more.
