For the first time in a long time, Pete Carroll won’t be roaming the sideline at Lumen Field. The Mike Macdonald era brings fresh hope for the Seattle Seahawks as they kick off their season against the Denver Broncos in this Week 1 matchup.

My Broncos vs. Seahawks predictions believe it’ll be an A+ effort from the home team as they play spoiler in Bo Nix’s pro debut. Read all about it in my NFL picks for September 8.

There’s few things hockey fans love more than a goalie goal. You might get one per season, and they’re met with joyous celebrations, as we’ve all just seen something rare and beautiful.
