The undefeated Seahawks travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. It's a battle of two of the Star rookie QB's from the 2012 draft class as Russell Wilson takes on Andrew Luck. Luck's backup however needs no introduction to Hawk fans as Matt Hasselbeck see's his old club for the first time since his 10 year stay with the team.

Game Notes
First match-up between the two teams since 2009, a 34-17 win for Indianapolis. Seneca Wallace was the starter for the Seahawks that day, and attempted a career high 45 passes, completing 33 of them. Peyton Manning threw for 353 yards on the day for the Colts.

Players to Watch:

Offense:

Andrew Luck - QB: Luck set the NFL record for Passing Yards by a rookie QB last year, and will look to carve up the Seahawk secondary.

Defense:

Robert Mathis - OLB: The veteran Mathis is now an OLB in the Colts new 3-4 scheme, but that does not mean he is still anything less of a pass rush threat. The Seahawks will need to key on him Sunday.

Prediction: The Colts are a tough team at home to deal with, these are Yardage wise the two worst defense's in the league right now, and both teams should be going up and down the field in this one. Expect a shootout with the last team to touch the ball getting the W. Colts 34, Seahawks 31
