4. Chidobe Awuzie gets his first career pick-six

One thing we’ve seen out the Seahawks this season is some terrible pass protection. Russell Wilson has had limited time to throw the ball and he’s been pressing when he throws the ball. That could be a good recipe for the Dallas defense.

Entering Week 3, they were No. 2 in the NFL with nine team sacks. Wilson has been sacked 12 times. DeMarcus Lawrence, Taco Charlton, Maliek Collins, and Tyrone Crawford will be getting in the backfield and they will cause Wilson to throw some bad passes.

This will help them in an area they’ve been struggling mightily in. For years they’ve been terrible at intercepting passes and they hoped hiring Kris Richard who helped put together the ‘Legion of Doom’ in Seattle would help fix that. So far in two games that hasn’t happened as the Boys have no picked passes.

The bold prediction here is that second-year corner Chidobe Awuzie not only gets his first of the season but that he also runs it back to the house for a defensive touchdown. That should give the whole a huge boost since the offense hasn’t been ideal to this point.
