It’s going to be a match-up of two seasoned NFL quarterbacks this Sunday. Russell Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks host the Cam Newton-led New England Patriots at the CenturyLink Field this weekend. Both teams enjoyed a winning start to their respective 2020 NFL campaigns in Week One.
Cam Newton kicked off his New England tenure with a 21-11 win over the Miami Dolphins last week. Meanwhile, Wilson led the Seahawks to a 25-28 win over Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a detailed look at both teams along with injury updates and Week Two matchday predictions.

Dange’Russ’ Wilson put in a stellar display as the Seahawks outplayed the Falcons last time out in the league. The veteran quarterback completed 31 of his 35 attempted passes.
He threw for 300+ yards and completed four passing TDs to show why he is one of the best shot-callers in the NFL at present. Coach Pete Carroll will count on his star quarterback to deliver when going up against Bill Belichick’s Patriots on Sunday.
Wilson will be backed by a star wide receiving corps. They include the WR’s Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and TE’s Greg Olsen, Will Dissly, and Jacob Hollister. They will cause the Patriots defense a lot of trouble when the teams face off at the CenturyLink Field over the weekend.
New signing Jamal Adams had a decent debut against the Falcons last week. He will look to build on that with another strong display against the Patriots.

Coach Bill Belichick’s new-look Patriots team will hope that quarterback Cam Newton delivers in his first real test of the 2020 NFL season. OC Josh McDaniels will look to bring out the best of Newton’s dual-threat abilities and challenge the strong Seahawks defense in this Week Two clash. However, that will not be an easy task by any means.
The Pats will also be sweating on the fitness of wide receivers, N’Keal Harry and Julian Edelman, who are both listed as ‘questionable’ in the latest injury report. Coach Belichick will be praying that they both recover in time for this crunch encounter.
Meanwhile, star cornerback Stephen Gilmore will be the key player in defense for the visitors as they aim to thwart Russell Wilson and Co.

Despite a tough opponent in the form of the Cam Newton-led New England, we feel the Seahawks will still have the last laugh in this Week Two duel. Wilson looks deadly, the wide receivers are firing on all cylinders and the defense is solid.
This win is going to the Seahawks, sorry Cam.
