Make sure to shop this price; the "hook" could prove important here in what we suspect will be a nip-and-tuck battle at Gillette Stadium. The Seahawks were not overly impressive last week vs. Denver, not making a move until well into the second half while eventually frustrating Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix (making his NFL debut), and Denver's defense overworked as a result. Still, Seattle needed to generate a pair of first downs at the end of the game from preventing Nix a chance to steal a win. Meanwhile, the Patriots' formula is simple, playing mistake-free football and allowing Jerod Mayo's underrated defense a chance Io wreak havoc. Joe Burrow and the Bengals were off-balance all last week, and Jacoby Brissett ran the bulletproof New England offense with a steady hand. It's a clever recipe that could keep the Patriots close on many occasions this season. Play Patriots
