All signs point towards Teddy Bridgewater starting for the New Orleans Saints, but the team hasn't publicly announced it. The Seattle Seahawks also expect it will be Bridgewater, but no matter who it is the Seahawks are going to be ready.

Linebacker Bobby Wagner knows the offense will change without Drew Brees but he doesn't expect a complete overhaul.

Per Bob Condotta in the Seattle Times:

“He gets out of the pocket a little bit more, and so we just have to see what style do they play,’’ linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “So just go to see what type of offense are we going to see. It’s going to be bit different, but it shouldn’t be crazy different.’’

Even if Bridgewater starts for the Saints, there is no doubt that Taysom Hill will play and probably play a big role. KJ Wright knows he is someone you always need to have your eyes on, or he will hurt you.

“You’ve got to know where he is,’’ Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright said. “But you can’t get too caught up in (worrying about where he is) because sometimes they’ve put him out there and just do normal things.’’

The Seahawks know this isn't a game they can take for granted just because Drew Brees is out. Bridgewater and Hill are both in the NFL for a reason and if the Seahawks aren't careful, they could lose this game.

The Seahawks opened up as one-point favorites in this game, but it has climbed up to four after Brees was announced out, and it could climb even more before kickoff.
