The Seattle Seahawks' schedule for Week 3 looks pretty easy. In fact, it could be a massacre now that the team they're facing might be without their best offensive weapon. Who is on schedule? What time do the Seahawks play? Where can you watch the Seahawks play? We have all those answers here. 

Game Time: 4:25 p.m. ET

TV-Channel: CBS

Week 3 Opponents: Jacksonville Jaguars

Make sense now? Maurice Jones-Drew, the battery of the Jaguars' offense, has a foot injury, which might keep him out on Sunday. With Jones-Drew out, who's taking over the run game? Blaine Gabbert is the second leading rusher in the Jaguars with 16 yards on four carries. The next big threat of the Jaguars' offense is Cecil Shorts, who has 11 receptions for 133 yards. 

The Seahawks' offense has taken a while to gel in the first two weeks of the season. It is obvious that Percy Harvin's absence is preventing the team from having more offensive weapons. However, the team did enough against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. They won 29-3, guided by their defense. The offense, led by Marshawn Lynch's two touchdowns, put up 17 points in the fourth quarter, finishing off the 49ers. 

The Seahawks' defense is incredible. Though they probably caught the 49ers in the right place, at the right time, the Seahawks defense did not allow anything. In fact, the last two weeks, the Seahawks defense has been the stingiest in the NFL. Teams are only averaging five points, 230 total yards and 113 passing yards, ranking them first in football. On offense, the only category the Seahawks rank in the Top 10 is rushing, averaging 121 per game. 

It will be interesting to see the Jaguars' plan of attack in Week 3. Will the Seahawks' defense ease off and go all out only if the Jaguars begin to threaten? Will the Jaguars put up any type of threat in this game? The Jaguars are last in points scored and total yards, but they do have great passing defense. 

Look for the Seahawks to pound the ball on the ground past the Jaguars as Jacksonville has allowed, on average, 173.5 rushing yards per game. It's easy, things don't look good for the Jaguars. The Seahawks have to give it 80 percent and they win this game. They should not take the Jaguars for granted, but they should not show them up either.
