Bob Condotta (2-4): Seahawks 24, Saints 16. This feels like something of a make-or-break game for the 2-4 Seahawks. And while much favors, who on paper have the better defense and the more recently accomplished quarterback, here’s to thinking that the Seahawks are due for a home game in which they turn back the clock some and get the kind of prime time win they have made their custom for much of the Carroll era.
Adam Jude (4-2): Saints 28, Seahawks 24, I’m skeptical of the Seahawks’ ability to run the ball against this stout Saints defense, and I’m skeptical of the Seahawks’ ability to slow down Alvin Kamara. Yep, the Seahawks are staring down the barrel of a 2-5 start and some serious panic-time flashes.
Larry Stone (2-4): Seahawks 24, Saints 21. This is pretty much a must-win for the Seahawks to have any semblance of a chance to make the playoffs. And playing at home and in prime time — two of their most favorable variants — they’ll squeak out a win behind Geno Smith.
Matt Calkins (3-3): Saints 24, Seahawks 21. Jameis Winston is no Drew Brees, but he’s been serviceable in succeeding a legend. He’ll do enough Monday to put the Seahawks’ season on the brink.
