The Seattle Seahawks have only scored one touchdown so far this season, yet they have a 1-1 record and are looking to improve upon that this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Many people dubbed the Titans as this season's breakout team, but that doesn't mean they'll beat the Seahawks. Here are three reasons why Seattle is guaranteed to win this game on Sunday:
1) Seattle's defense is still the most dominant in the league
All the talk about the Seahawks offense has taken some of the shine off of the defense, but it really shouldn't. Seattle has only allowed two touchdowns this season and is in the top five in the league in points allowed (13.0 per game). Tennessee's offense is predicated on the power run game even though their interior offensive line leaves much to be desired. Michael Bennett & Co. should be able to eat that up and keep the Titans in check offensively.
2) Tennessee struggles to rush the passer
The Titans have already played a team with a terrible offensive line in Jacksonville and didn't exactly show any pass-rushing prowess, sacking Blake Bortles only two times. Their four sacks on the season rank in the bottom half of the league. Seattle's lackluster line has been their biggest criticism for the past few years, but Tennessee hasn't proven they can take advantage of that yet.

3) Offensive explosion is coming
Yes, Seattle's offense has been bad during the few two weeks of the season, but it's the same thing that happened last year. After scoring just 15 points in their first two games in 2016, they exploded for 37 points in a convincing win over San Francisco.
Could a similar explosion happen this week? It's certainly possible. Led by Russell Wilson, Seattle simply has too much talent offensively to be kept off the scoreboard again. I'd lead closer to that offensive explosion happening than them not finding the end zone.
