Ahead of Week 10, a preview piece expects Seattle’s defence to pressure rookie Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza and highlights multiple scoring and production predictions.
The Story
A preview ahead of Week 10’s Seahawks vs. Raiders matchup puts forward four “bold predictions,” including expectations for Seattle’s run game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s receiving production and a first NFL touchdown for rookie running back Jadarian Price.
One prediction says Price will score his first NFL touchdown, pointing to Seattle’s matchup against a Raiders defence described as struggling “particularly when it comes to stopping the run” and noting Price is back in the backfield alongside Zach Charbonnet.
Another prediction targets Smith-Njigba, projecting 10+ catches, 125+ yards and at least one touchdown. The preview contrasts that with his previous game production, when he recorded seven catches for 51 yards against the Arizona Cardinals without a touchdown.
A third prediction expects Seattle’s rushing attack to have its “monster game,” citing that the Raiders are allowing 151.2 rushing yards per game while Seattle averages 110 yards on the ground. The preview also says Charbonnet is back from injury and anticipates Seattle getting close to 200 rushing yards.
The preview’s top prediction focuses on Fernando Mendoza’s first NFL start for Las Vegas. It says Kirk Cousins is back with the Minnesota Vikings and that Mendoza’s first start comes against a Seahawks defence described as among the toughest units in the league, while projecting Mendoza to finish with fewer than 175 passing yards and a completion percentage under 65%.
