Chris Boswell or Jason Myers: Who Should You Start?

Myers edges Boswell as Seattle's stall-prone red zone feeds more leg work

Myers gets the call not because either kicker misses much, but because Seattle's offense gives him more chances to miss: a red-zone unit that stalls more often than Pittsburgh's translates directly into more field-goal tries, and that volume shows up in a full attempt advantage league-wide. Boswell remains the more surgical kicker with a longer track record from 50-plus, but his offense is simply more likely to finish drives in the end zone rather than hand him a kick. The gap in raw points is thin enough to be noise on its own, but stacked with the rank, attempts, and implied-total edges all pointing the same way, it adds up to a real lean rather than a coin flip. Both are locked-in starters you can plug in without worry.

What flips it: A weather downgrade for either open-air site, or a red-zone efficiency swing for either offense.
