The Broncos are a slight favorite to beat the Seahawks for the second time this season.

It was four weeks, ago at Mile. High Stadium thai the Broncos whipped Seattle. 28-7. Since then, Denver has scored a total of just 22 points and lost twice to San Diego, 23-0, and last week, to Baltimore, 7-6. Seattle, meanwhile, has sandwiched victories over Minnesota and Oakland around a loss to Green.

Bay. The Seahawks' surprising 27-7 victory over the Raiders last week boosted their record to 4-4, just one game behind Denver and Oakland, tied with 5-3 records. Red Miller, the Denver coach, says that despite his club's earlier triumph over Seattle, the Broncos will come to play Sunday. "I can. guarantee you our team will play hard," Miller said.

"That game was very close, noth-' ing very decisive," said Miller. "We ran the ball pretty well and held them to fewer points than anyone else has. "They'll change a little and we'll change a little. It'll come down to which team adjusts the best on the field." Seattle will be playing without its OAKLAND (AP) The Oakland Raiders, except for a few good bounces on two key plays, would he among the National Football League teams with losing records through the first half of the season. Who knows how the San Diego Chargers would stand if the bounces hadn't gone the Raiders' way in the second game of the season? The Chargers bring very unpleasant memories of thai game, and a 2-6 record, into the Oakland Coliseum for Sunday's rematch.

The Raiders lost their opener, 14-6 to Denver, and trailed the Chargers, 20l-l, in the final seconds of their Sept. 10 game at San Diego. Then came Ken Sta bier's forward fumble, which he admitted was intentional, and the 23-yard advancement of the bouncing ball into the end zone, where Dave Casper fell on it for the winning touchdown. The Chargers, who had won their opener, had two more losses and a new head coach, Don Coryell, by the end of September. Oakland is 5-3, tied with Denver for the" American Football Conference West lead.

Besides the fortunate fumble touchdown at San Diego, the Raiders can look back with relief at one committed by Houston running back Earl Campbell near the Oakland goal line. The Oilers led, 17-7. in the third quarter when Campbell fumbled and Charles Phillips turned the game. around with a 96-yard touchdown return. The Raiders Von.

21- 17. Coryell, former St. Louis Cardinals coach, was coaching at San 'Dit down return. The Raiders won, 21-17. Coryell, former St.

Louis Cardinals coach, was coaching at San Diego Stale in 1964 when he hired John Madden as. an assistant. Madden is in his 10th season as Raiders' head coach and goes for his 100th pro coaching victory "John helped me when I first got the St. Louis job," Coryell recalls, but he adds, "I haven't spoken to him since I took over the Chargers since both of us have been pretty busy." Madden will become the 13th NFL coach to reach 1O0 victories. Lydell Mitchell, who joined the Chargers this season, soon will become the 12th NFL running back in history to rush for 6,000 yards.

And Mitchell, with 5,818 yards, says, "I'm in my prime and I'm not going downhill. I have no idea where I'm going to finish on that list." Madden's teams often have been clearly headed toward the playoffs by this time of the season. But there have been several problems this year, including key. injuries and a falloff in the quality of pass protection for quarterback Ken Stabler, who has been sacked 17 times and intercepted 19 times. Stabler has thrown only seven touchdown passes, and ranks 10th among AFC passers.

Those above him include No.4 Dan Fouts of the quarteroacked the victory over Seattle but has missed two games with a kneecap injury.

EXCELLENT STARTING SALARY BENEFITS, 5 DAY WORK WEEK CALL FOR INFORMATION ever since his ill-advised pass against Green Bay was returned for a touchdown. Three of his four interceptions in the last two games, he points out, have been in the closing and desperate moments. He would prefer that the Bears would avoid those moments by putting the ball past the goal line more often. That shortcoming, he agrees, does not reflect well on the quarterback, but, the other 10 offensive players aren't exactly as helpless as a guy with a Thermos in RowQ. "I realize," Avellini says, "that a team isn't winning, people willsay ifs the quart defend myself because I don't feci like I have to js and I've got nothing to gain by it.

5 "The thing I've learned in four years is theres ljf nothing you can do about it no matter how well you play. I can take a look around the league and ss see how well other quarterbacks are doing. 2 They're making Doug Williams (of Tampa Bay) 2 into an all-pro around here, and he completed 37 per cent of his passes before Sunday. The same jg guy. they're praising, if he played in Chicago, I don't think they'd be praising him." as: 947-6871 MON.

FRI.8-5 P.M. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER liilliil By Kevin Lamb Chicago Sun-Times Any.offerisive changes the Chicago Bears make this week will be geared toward making something happen on the ground that is more exciting thin their chins hitting, it. The changes will be slight: Maybe a fullback will line up half a yard farther to the right on one play or a tackle will tafte his first step with the right foot instead of the left. These are the sort of things that coach Neill Armstrong hopes will help ball carriers take extra steps with both feet. The Bears barely outran the hajihmarks in losing 33-19 against Tampa Bay Sunday, and their rushing averages dropped to 15ji.6"yards per game and 3.9 yards per carry.

rhafs.not only worse than.the 20.8 and last year, but it's also worse than the 1976" averages of 168.8 yards per game and 4.T yards 3er carry. jtyhatevor changes, they won't deprive Soldier Tjjld fans of the chance to boo quarterback Bob kellini's first snap count when the Bears return lameVnext Sunday to play Detroit. "Other posi-ifns are going to be changed before said Armstrong; who didn't forecast any finite personnel changes, but did say he.thought was being blamed unjustly for the Bears' fe-game losing streak. iVvellini agreed through gritted teeth that would more comfortable around the flesh" of, his e'tractors. "I love football and competing," lie lid, "but there are certain things about football not crazy about.

Not the sport but the extras." He says he hasn't encountered any strangers -puhd Chicago who have offered to show him the tdiments of the spiral by forward passing him Trough a plate glass window. He heard about the flights from Tampa Sunday night, where pas-ngors talked of Avellini with the affection they auld have had for a ticking briefcase. He says he is heard it all before. This is, after all, his fourth ason as a quarterback in Chicago. I believe no matter who was quart-backing in Chicago, people would say Chicago have, a quarterback," Avellini says.

"It's unpleasant situation because of it. I don't think yone likes to be criticized all the time, especially people who don't know anything about I think the people believe they are experts at erything, and that's probably what makes brts so interesting. If that were the case, ugh, there would be thousands upon thousands coaches. I'd really like to sit down with people discuss it with them, see just how much they awabout the'game." he did, he probably would mention that the game has been the most effective forward licle of a team that is supposed to hold its run-g game close to its hearts Instead of around its oats. He -would explain, as Armstrong has.

that netimes the pass that looks foolish is precisely one a quarterback is supposed to throw ilnst the particular coverage, ie would say he's concerned about his alarm-ly high total of 13 interceptions in eight games, he would add that he has been conscious of ing a sack instead of throwing into coverage Sears Ask about Sears credit plans ammmKti consistent ride control under most any Each of these advertised items is readily pickups and vans.
