NFL Picks New England Patriots (7-5) vs. Seattle Seahawks (2-10): The AFC East is one of the tightest divisions in all of football. Currently, the (8-4) New York Jets lead the way with a narrow 1-game lead over the second place, (7-5) New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins; and the Buffalo Bills are still very much in it, at 6-6. The Seattle Seahawks, on the other hand, have been looking forward to the NFL Draft for quite some time now. Needless to say, this has been truly a disappointing year for NFL Picks fans in the “Emerald City”, especially considering how promising things looked after last season.

The OVER/UNDER for this, NFL Picks: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks game has been set at a combined total of 43 points. Last week, the Patriots' offense was clicking on all cylinders going into their Week 13 showdown with the (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers. Quarterback Matt Cassel (257-398, 2784 yards, 13 TDs) was coming off back-to-back 400-yard passing performances for the first time in New England Patriots history. With the halftime score tied at 10-10, the Pats came out of the locker room and played their worse 30 minutes of the season. With their home crowd behind them, New England Patriots turned the ball over 5 times in the second half, en route to a 33-10 loss. "It's not about Matt Cassel," Cassel said after the game. "It's about 11 guys on offense trying to get better." As of now, the Patriots are in danger of following their Super Bowl trip last season, to missing the playoffs completely. "I am confident in the team," coach Bill Belichick said. "We have had our highs and lows and we bounce back from those. There has been a good effort and good attentiveness to try to correct things, improve and get them right. I don't see any reason why that would change."
