• Mike Macdonald should continue to spearhead a resurgence in Seattle: Geno Smith remains one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the NFL and has provided Seattle with above-average play, and Macdonald's genius has turned the defense around.

• Bet on Mike Evans to have a quieter day: Evans should see a lot of Pat Surtain II, one of the game's best cornerbacks. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin should have an advantageous matchup.
