Dallas Cowboys (1-1) at Seattle Seahawks (2-0)

Sunday, September 27, 4:25PM ET

I’m sorry, but I cannot pick against the Seattle Seahawks right now. With Russell Wilson cooking and the defense doing it’s best to make plays when they matter most, this franchise is primed for a deep playoff run. The wins will keep coming in 2020.

Don’t be surprised if another one is waiting for them in Week 3. They’ve got the Dallas Cowboys coming to a team, and I’m feeling fairly confident in their ability to dispatch this squad that, despite their record, has underwhelmed so far this season.

Yes, they’re 1-1, with the lone loss coming in close battle against a suddenly solid Rams team. I’m also aware that Dak Prescott is playing well, Ezekiel Elliott is still a star, and they’re not short on talent on the defensive side of the ball. With all of that said, they’re not in a position to slow down Wilson. They couldn’t even keep Ryan from shredding them in Week 2.

Wilson relies on his bevy of playmakers again in Week 3, as we see big games from D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Bobby Wagner, Jamal Adams and the Seattle defense do their job as well, creating a clutch turnover on the Cowboys’ final drive to send America’s Team packing with their second loss of the season.

Prediction: Seahawks win 35-30
