StatSmack

That pregame pep talk must have worked. Seattle Seahawks scored more points in this one (257.36) than their season average (243.56).
Everybody can't be a winner, especially if you're Baltimore Ravens. They've lost six in a row.
We heard scoring helps you win. Seattle Seahawks are doing a better job of that, averaging 243.56 versus Baltimore Ravens's 200.82.
As Herm Edwards once said, "You play to win the game!" Seattle Seahawks (7-2) have a better record than Baltimore Ravens (3-6).
Even the machines think Seattle Seahawks have a better-constructed roster. They have a higher projected points average (239.33) than Baltimore Ravens (200.45).
Seattle Seahawks should change their team name to "The Overachievers" since they have beat their projection in more weeks than Baltimore Ravens (4 vs 3).
By position, Seattle Seahawks have outscored Baltimore Ravens at RB, WR, and IDP this season.
Seattle Seahawks don’t just win, they win BIG, with an average margin of victory of 47 points, second-highest in the league.
Don't worry Baltimore Ravens, just because you lost doesn't mean it's all over. But you really should have won. Give that a whirl next week!

Coach Talk

Seattle Seahawks
Hey, this sport is all about spotting and exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Baltimore Ravens at the wide receiver position (56.4 points to 5.4).
Baltimore Ravens
It's entirely possible that Baltimore Ravens may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just six total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
