NFL Key Releases:

SEATTLE by 20 over Tampa Bay
SEATTLE 26 - Tampa Bay 6—Seattle made it last year, and now it’s T.B.’s turn to make the long, cross-country trip. The situation greatly favors the Seahawks and their veteran QBing. Talented Bucs’ rookie Josh Freeman, plagued by interceptions in bunches early in his career at K-State, has suffered five & three in his last two games. He is unlikely to deal well with the noisy crowd at Qwest Field, where Seattle is 4-2 SU & vs. the spread, with three DD victories. HC Jim Mora Jr., whose prideful defense was embarrassed last week in Houston, won’t be this week.
(08-T. BAY 20-Sea. 10...T.22-7 S.16/103 T.38/97 T.27/36/0/305 S.12/23/1/73 T.1 S.1) (08-TAMPA BAY -10' 20-10...SR: Seattle 7-2)

UNDER THE TOTAL in the New England-Buffalo game
UNDER THE TOTAL New England 16 - BUFFALO 13—N.E.’s edges over Buffalo not quite as pronounced as they’ve been for much of the Patriots’ 12-game series win streak. After all, N.E. was fortunate to escape with 25-24 win in season opener, and Pats a very un-Belichick-like 0-5 SU as a visitor TY. Granted, Buffalo’s offense on short rations. But interim HC Perry Fewell pushing the right buttons for his opportunistic defense, effectively masking its deficiencies vs. the run and allowing only 15 ppg last 4. Tom Brady (finger, rib, shoulder) not looking his usual self, and Randy Moss (only 1 catch last week) moping after being sent home from practice. Pats 5-1-1 “under” last 7. (09-N. ENG. 25-Buf. 24...N.28-17 B.19/90 N.23/73 N.39/53/1/368 B.15/25/0/186 N.0 B.1) (08-N. ENG. 20-Buf. 10...N.24-10 N.43/144 B.18/60 N.23/34/0/226 B.13/23/2/108 N.1 B.0) (08-N. Eng. 13-BUF. 0...N.16-15 N.47/168 B.35/161 B.14/25/0/115 N.6/8/0/73 N.0 B.1) (09-N. ENG. -10' 25-24; 08-N. ENG. -3' 20-10, N. Eng. -6 13-0...SR: New England 58-40-1)
