Seahawks vs. Jets Week 14 Predictions
Facing a must-win situation to keep pace with the Rams in the NFC West, the Seahawks will square off against a winless Jets squad at Lumen Field in Week 14.
Both teams are coming off tough losses, as Seattle dropped a 17-12 decision to the New York Giants to fall to 8-4 on the season. The New York Jets remained on track for the No. 1 overall pick in next April's draft when the Las Vegas Raiders scored a late touchdown to secure a 31-28 win.
Will the Seahawks get back in the win column to stay in the NFC West title hunt? Or do the Jets have a monumental road upset up their sleeves? Writers Corbin Smith, Aryanna Prasad, and Ty Gonzalez dish out their Week 14 predictions in the video above.

When will the Seahawks blow a team out? This game is kind of “now or never” territory for that. The Jets are bad. Easily the worst team Seattle has faced this year. The only way the Seahawks lose is if they continue to be stubborn and not adjust on offense. Russell Wilson and company have a chance to use this game to get right and find that mojo again before a key stretch of games. There’s no excuse for letting a winless team hang around in your own building. If they do, Seattle has bigger issues at hand than just trying to win the division.

The Seahawks are in desperate need of a win after last week's shocking loss to the Giants. But as last week shows, any team can beat another on any given Sunday. Even the winless Jets pose a threat to the Seahawks, especially with how poor Russell Wilson has looked in recent weeks. But a bad Jets defense just fired their defensive coordinator and the Hawks defense is playing some great football. Wilson begins his return to greatness today with some baby steps, Chris Carson rumbles for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seahawks defense clamps down on a banged up Jets team as the Hawks win an ugly game.
