Bold Prediction Contest - Lions At Seattle

Read carefully! There are a lot of bonus points available if you pay attention. A chance to move up the board quick!

Welcome to the seventh week of the "Bold Prediction" contest at Seahawk Addicts with Detroit playing at Seattle. No new entries please. The deadline has passed.

The winner at the end of the season will receive a Seahawk's jersey. Due to popular demand and and driven by a desire to move up in the standings, I'm going to give us guys sucking tailwind a chance to catch up this week. There are three bonus questions for a baker's dozen predictions in the package this week. Two of the bonus questions are worth two points and the third is a field goal worth three points.

You can make up to two weeks of predictions ahead of time to allow for vacations and other circumstances that arise. On the Friday before you leave, make a comment that contains your regular predictions for that week and add the set(s) of predictions for the week(s) that you'll be gone. Clearly label the sets by opponent for identification. I'll input them for the current week and the week or two that follows.

Please follow these directions. The format of the answer is in parenthesis (Bold Print) after the dash for each prediction. All entries or changes must be input by midnight Saturday night according to the blog stamped date on your comment.

The entries are (in this order):

Team Sacks - (number)
Rushing Yards - (number)
Passing Yards - (number)
Most Tackles - (last name)
Most Receptions - (last name)
Starting QB Rating - (one decimal place - decimal not required)

Bonus #2 (worth two points) - Seahawks Time Of Possession - (MM:SS)
Bonus #3 (worth three points) - Lions QB Rating - (one decimal place - decimal not required)

List your answers in the same order on 13 consecutive lines. Please follow the format for each prediction and don't embellish your answers or add anything.
