Golden Tate

It’s safe to say that Golden Tate is happy he left Seattle. Through 11 games this year, Tate has 72 receptions for 1047 yards, more than he had in any whole season in his time with the Seahawks. He’ll add to that total against a banged-up Chicago secondary. Fellow receiver Calvin Johnson will attract the attention of the defense, leaving Tate relatively under the radar. Just where he wants to be.

Jason Witten

Jason Witten may be a head scratcher for some. He’s a 32-year-old player that has obviously already played past his best days. However, this Thursday is just the kind of game that Witten thrives in. This will be a hard fought battle, and it appears to be a high scoring bout as well.

While Tony Romo has a weapon in Dez Bryant, he has a security blanket with Witten. I think Witten finds a red zone target and turns it into a touchdown, scoring for the third consecutive week.

Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are flying high after getting a big win against the Arizona Cardinals. Now they will fly to San Francisco for a big game in primetime against the 49ers. Surprisingly, while Seattle is known for their home field advantage, Wilson has found more success on the road.

So far this year, Wilson has thrown for five touchdowns and four interceptions at home while throwing for nine touchdowns and one interception on the road. Look for Wilson to have success on the ground and in the air Thursday night.
