This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Seattle Seahawks.
The San Diego Chargers are now the LA Chargers. It's been a weird offseason for veteran QB Philip Rivers, the coaching staff and everyone else involved in the organization. Rivers and gang will hope that a shift in venue will help kick-start the team as it would go on to finish a dismal 5-11 last year. Seattle was 10-5-1 last year in the regualr season and was 3-1 in the preseason (San Diego was just 1-3.) Seattle knows who will be under center in Week 1, so the focus falls onto backup wannabe's Trevone Boykin and CJ Prosise (each will see a half today likely.) Focus for the Seahawks will also fall onto the RB position, with new-comer Eddie Lacy battling Thomas Rawls for the No. 1 spot. Seattle struggled without a strong running game last year, averaging just 22.1 PPG, but the defense was once again superb, allowing an average of just 18.2 PPG, ranked third overall. Both Rivers and RB Melvin Gordon are expected to see very limited to no time whatsoever in this one for the home side. The Chargers have a competition going on for backup QB as well between Kellen Clemens, Mike Bercovici and Cardale Jones. San Diego was decent offensively last year in averaging 25.6 PPG, but ranked 29th overall on the defensive end in conceding 26.4 PPG. Hawks' coach Pete Carrol puts emphasis on the preseason. The Chargesr have a lot of outside external factors at play here and we think the organization comes in a bit flat in this meaningless preseason Week 1 contest. Play on the SEAHAWKS.
