The Kansas City Chiefs (6-3) are on a four-game winning streak as they head into their matchup on Sunday with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (6-3). Seattle is also a hot team, as they’ve won their last three games after struggling in mid-October. This is a critical Week 11 game for both of these playoff-hopeful teams. Here are five bold predictions for what could be the game of the week.

The Seahawks are 17th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (15) and that number will increase this week. Alex Smith will have to throw the ball against this Seattle defense if the Chiefs have a chance at winning this game. He will manage the game very well in this tough matchup and throw for a couple scores.

4. Marshawn Lynch Will Not Score a Rushing TD

The Chiefs' defense has not allowed a rushing touchdown so far this season, which is pretty remarkable. Marshawn Lynch has scored a total of six touchdowns in his last two games, but he will be held to zero rushing scores on Sunday. Kansas City will do everything in their power to prevent Lynch from reaching the end zone in this matchup.

3. Jamaal Charles Will Rush For Less Than 100 Yards

Charles is 13th in the NFL in total rushing yards, but he faces a Seattle defense this week that consistently shuts down opposing running backs. The Seahawks rank fourth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed heading into Week 11 and have also only given up four rushing touchdowns. This will not be a good week for Charles.

2. Russell Wilson Will Be Held To Under 175 Yards Passing

Wilson has thrown for under 200 yards in each of the past two games, and this week he faces a great Chiefs pass defense, which is ranked No. 1 in the NFL in passing yards allowed. The Seahawks quarterback will likely register some passing touchdowns, but his total passing yards will be minimal on Sunday.

Both of these teams made the playoffs last season and are on track to make the postseason once again this year. This should be a great match up in Kansas City on Sunday, and with the Chiefs being the hotter team at this point in the season, they will be able to get the win in a close one at Arrowhead.
