The New York Giants (3-5) have dropped three straight games and a trip to Seattle to face the 5-3 Seahawks will not make things easier. New York was embarrassed by the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football, 40-24. New York faced a double digit deficit for nearly the entire game as its defense was unable to stop Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis offense. Quarterback Eli Manning threw for 359 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. led the way with eight catches for 156 yards. New York’s once vaunted defensive line was unable to generate pressure on Luck, sacking him only one time. New York’s defensive will try to corral Seattle’s dual-threat quarterback, Russell Wilson in front of a fan base that is paying high ticket prices.
According to TiqIQ, the average price for Giants vs Seahawks tickets is $298.68 on the secondary ticket market while the get-in price is $134. The game is 26% below the season average at CenturyLink Field this year.
The Seattle Seahawks have won two straight games, but currently sit two games behind the Arizona Cardinals in a race for the NFC West crown. Last week, Seattle defeated the Oakland Raiders, 30-24. Running back Marshawn Lynch ran for 67 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Wilson only completed 17-of-35 attempts for 179 yards. Seattle’s defense, however, played very well and forced three Oakland turnovers. Seattle won the turnover battle, 3-0.
For below average ticket prices, Seattle will seek its third straight win over New York. Last year, Seattle embarrassed New York 23-0 at MetLife Stadium, where they would return and win the Super Bowl. Manning threw five interceptions in the loss. Seattle out-rushed New York, 134 to 25. Expect Seattle’s raucous home crowd to make things extremely difficult for a New York defense that has struggled in recent weeks.
