LOOK AT THE SEAHAWK SCHEDULE . THEY PLAYED ONLY 2 TEAMS THAT MADE THE PLAYOFFS AND LOST AGAINST 1 OF THEM. NOT GOOD. THE HAWKS MIGHT WIN THIS ONE BUT I'LL TAKE THE POINTS.

just joined, first post. dcowboys is correct. take the seahawks. valiant but fatigued redskin defense will wear down late and the crowd noise will be tough for a quarterback with limited starts. seahawks -3.5

Very true about he Seahawks at home. They are pretty tought at home, gotta look at Skinz road record a little more in depth. The are playing hot right now..... Todd "dont call me Tom or Kerry" Collins is on target with Cooley and Moss. Portis is hungry. This game cries for research.

The 'Skins come in real hot but as well as he is playing I wouldn't want my playoff dreams resting on Todd Collins' shoulders. O/U on false starts is 4.5. QB's making their first career playoff starts have not done too well in recent history. I dont expect alot of mistakes from the 'Skins but I think there will be one too many big plays from Seattle's offense for them to overcome. 27-17 'Hawks

Im recommending checking the weather forecast while capping game. Right now (Wed) it looks wet for game time. Threw a little early $$ on the under so I can hedge if needed later if the rain doesn't materialize. Line likely will fall a little below 40 by gametime.

This is a tough game to call. Here's how I feel about it:
Seahawks formula for success has been to outscore their opponents with their passing game, and it has worked 7 out of 8 times at home. In the one loss to New Orleans, they weren't able to cover anyone and they couldn't get a pass rush on Brees. They compounded the problem by scoring a mediocre 17 points on offense. In the other 7 games, they pretty much scored 20+ points in every game. On defense at home, it's been all about pass rush. If they get to the QB, their opponent won't score 10 points in the game. If not, their opponent will probably score over 20 points. Basically, the story has been hit here, miss there.
The Skins formula for success during their 4-game winning streak has been their ability to limit the opposition's running game, and having success taking their chances vs. average QB's (Griese, Eli, T.Jax, Dallas backups). On offense, they've been well-rounded during the streak. Everyone has chipped in. Portis, Collins, Moss, Cooley.
So, looking at what both teams have done well, I would think that Washington is going to see a passing attack that is much better than what they've seen during the streak. I would imagine that Washington is going to fail to hold Seattle under 20 points, and I would also imagine that Seattle is going to fail to get to Collins, and Washington will be able to put up over 20 points.
So, I think the game will not be a blowout in either direction, and I think both teams will be in the 20's, at least. I think this kind of game favors the Hawks, and I like them to win it. The line is about right, although I could see the Hawks winning by 7.
I like the over-40 more than either team in this game. I'll say the final score will be Seattle 31-24.

I love my Skins. Seattle is a different team without Mack Strong leading Alexander through the hole. Hasselbeck is going to have to throw a lot in the rain against a geared up Skins secondary. Strong running game, solid specials, and a lights-out defense are a recipe for success in the playoffs. Collins is going to play the role of Jeff Hostetler and lead the Skins into Pheonix. Well, maybe not Pheonix, but definately Dallas. Wreckem, be careful what you wish for.

Lock of the year. Seahawks at home. Lock of the year. Todd Collins vs. Matt Hasselbeck. Mike Holmgren vs. Joe Gibbs. Rookie RT vs. Patrick Kerney. Seahawks defense is vastly overlooked. Free money. Hawks win easy. Thank me after.

Redskins play in the strongest Div. in the NFL, 2 games against Giants, Cowboys and Eagles, who do the Seahawks play? Giants led the NFL in sacks and Skins took care of business, don't worry about Kerney he may get a sack, Redskins will roll. I think Cooley will come up big here. If Seahawks win, the Skins will cover, that's all i care about, but could win SU.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

Alot of you are talking about doing some more research about this matchup....Thomas Boswell of the Washintonpost points out some great statistics in this column. Even tho his column is a little biased, I think it will point you in the right direction.

This is my first post. Washington is playing unreal football right now. If you look at their schedule and results they actually only got beat bad once this year. Every other loss they had they were in the game and almost all of them they were ahead at one point. They very easily could have just one or two losses this season. They are getting no credit at all. Why would vegas open the line so low? Seattle is always a great bet at home, but to only be giving the 6 seed 3-4 points. Doesn't really make sense. Washington has dominated the last 3 games they played and should do the same to Seattle. Most of the games the Skins lost this year were by poor clock management and very poor play calling late in games. Now that Saunders is calling 95% of the plays the Skins aren't laying back in the second half with a two score lead. So many times this year Washington went into the second half or even 4th quarter with a lead and someone just self destructed. They seem to finally have this figured out and are going to be tough to beat. If they beat Seattle convincingly I wouldn't be suprised to see them in Green Bay playing for the NFC championship. Washington wins this one 23-17.
