Maybe a pick em.... Will be interesting to watch both teams running and trying to stop the spread option.... Lord knows they will see enough of it in practice this week.

Im guessing Skins -3. They are playing at home and have won 7 straight.
Very good contest, can't wait. Seattle with edge in defence and also RG needs that brace off by next week to ensure Seattle have to play RG run threat otherwise Seattle M2M coverage and box count could take out Morris threat as well.
Stopping Morris and Russ taking care of the ball are the keys to the game. Will be fun to see where the line goes from here, expect a lot of love for a home dog

seachickens win this gm..both offenses very good in their own way,,both these qbs have been fantastic but ultimately i think sea is playing the best fb in the nfc and ill take the far superior defense when i think the offenses are comparable all day... honestly i kinda hope i lose this bet cause sea the only nfc team i feel threatens my SF future to win SB....

Two similar offences with fast young qb's that run the option well, alongside solid RB's. Seattle has the edge on on the defensive side, which may be the difference. I'd lean Seattle.
Should be a great game to watch.

Agreed. They did loose to Miami and Detroit though (both last second losses)....

A competitive road loss in the NFL doesn't mean you're a bad road team though. Ppl keep saying it over and over again like they have some embarrassing road losses on their resume. Miami plays a lot of teams tough and that game came down to a BS personal foul call on Earl Thomas.

Chickens -3 +108 @ Legends book it.
This is one of the most unbalanced match ups of the weekend. Lot of respect for RG3 and the skins, they have been a nice money maker for me this year. But looking at the different phases of the game:
QBs- Its a wash between the two, RG3 is hobbled and RW is 100%
RBs- Slight nod to Lynch, though Morris has been running strong
Defense- Not even close, Seattle all the way here
D-Line-Seattle huge advantage here
O-Line-Both awful, though slight ranking advantage for Seattle. Both QBs are mobile and thrive out of the pocket anyway
Special Teams- Seattle ranked 3rd Wash 25th, not even close
Coach-Tough call here. Pete Carroll has this team motivated and ready to play every week and Shanahan is a grumpy old fart but still a great coach. Ill give it a wash
Skins home field makes up for a little bit and consideration has to be made that although good all around, Seattle at home has been ridiculous and accounts for a large portion of these rankings. Still, Ill swallow the 3 points on the team that is much better at almost every phase of the game
Good Luck

Is this the first time ever that two rookie QB's have faced off against each other in the playoffs?

Last year was Yates vs Dalton I believe.

the rookie playing at home will win, hawks are the better team but always play down on the road, RW will show up and probably have a better game than RG3 and lose the game still... hawks o line will not show up.. hawks def will do there job and keep it close, i think skins +3 is the perfect bet. skins win by 2-4 points

SEA easy. WASH barely has a winning record plus they are somewhat drained after win vs. DAL.

umm...both teams are 10-6, so I guess they both "barely" have a winning record...and yes I'm counting the SEA/GB game a loss like it was.

you are correct about the Skins record Gonzo.
Looking forward to this one, it's the most intriquing matchup of the weekend.
