Seahawks 24, Patriots 21
Straight-up: Seattle · Confidence: 6/10
New England's addition of A.J. Brown gives Drake Maye a physical WR1 who can challenge Seattle's banged-up safety group and make this rematch significantly closer. Seattle's defense and home-field advantage may still deliver the win, but Scout22 expects the Patriots to stay within 3.5 points.
