“I still need to see more from both teams before I feel confident, but I was impressed with New England and its defensive dominance of Cincinnati. Still, I realize the Pats are a bit of a risk on the moneyline, so I’m just going with Seattle. The key will be whether Kenneth Walker and the Seahawk running game can perform against a tough New England defense.”

“Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo deserves a lot of credit for how New England performed in the biggest upset of Week 1. The Patriots will try to play physical and run downhill with RB Rhamondre Stevenson. But Seattle has the personnel to limit Stevenson’s production, and plenty of firepower on offense.”

“Can the Patriots do it again? Seattle making the cross-country trip and playing in the early window against a team that seems to believe early? Give me New England at +3.”

“The surprise win over Cincinnati proved that New England can go as far as its defense. Seattle rebounded from a slow start against Denver and will be a slugfest on the cross-country road trip. Still, the Seahawks did just enough for a narrow victory.”

Bill Bender, Sports News: Seahawks 19, Patriots 16

“The Patriots pulled off a surprise in Week 1 on the road. Can they improve to 2-0 under new coach Jerod Mayo in his home debut? Seattle coach Mike Macdonald also won his debut. Geno Smith passed for 171 yards and a TD, and Kenneth Walker III rushed for 103 yards. New England won behind a defense that limited Cincinnati to 224 yards. Jacoby Brissett didn’t throw an interception and recorded just one sack, and Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 120 yards and a TD. The Patriots have a real shot at 2-0 here in a defensive struggle.”

Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Patriots 20, Seahawks 16

“This is a long first road trip for the Seahawks, against a team that stunned the Bengals last week. The Patriots defense was good in that game and Seattle has issues with the offensive line. I think that will show if the Pats win a low-scoring game behind their defense.”
