INJURIES

Seahawks: RB Steve Smith (back) is out; S Rafael Robinson (hip) and DE Brent Williams (knee) are questionable; TE Christian Fauria (knee) and DE Michael McCrary (knee) are probable.

Jets: RB Richie Anderson (ankle) is out; CB Otis Smith (shoulder) is questionable; FB Brad Baxter (shoulder), C Cal Dixon (foot) and G Matt O’Dwyer (ribs) are probable.

NOTABLE

This game provides a family feud for the Bratkowskis as dad Zeke and son Bob are offensive coordinators for the Jets and Hawks, respectively.

Also, several area products will be in action for the Jets, including defensive tackle Erik Howard (Washington State), cornerback Anthony Prior (WSU) and defensive end Marvin Washington (Idaho). The Jets also signed former Vandasl back Sherriden May to their practice squad this week.

Hawks cornerback Corey Harris has had interceptions in back-to-back games, the first two of his career.

Jets defensive end Hugh Douglas is just 2.5 sacks away from tying Leslie O’Neal’s record for NFL rookies (12.5). The Jets’ 33 sacks are four more than they produced all last season.

These teams are the worst in the NFL in turnover-takeaway ratio. The Jets are at minus-8, while Seattle stands at minus-11.

ANALYSIS

The only problem the Hawks might face in this one is going in (gulp!) overconfident.

That would seem impossible, though, considering how low the Hawks were three weeks ago.

Simply put, the Jets will be helpless to stop the Seattle rushing attack.

So look for a huge game from Chris Warren and a relatively easy victory.
