Didn't think I'd have to, but SEAHAWKS -3 = LOCK

[BeantownBlue]

I agree that Seahawks cover.
But your mom charges you too much for her basement.

Also. I am a 'professional gambler'. Have not held a job in over a year, with a rent of 1300 a month.

Don't call something idiotic when you say Seattle and Washington are from the AFC. Idiot.

Hey idiot learn to read, i said they PLAYED the AFC east and they PLAYED the AFC North... please tell me that seattle did not play the AFC East this year and please tell me Washington did not play the AFC North... You sir are in idiot.. read a post correctly before you try to reject it and look stupid

[Gonz312]

Im pretty sure he is referring to the division they played...not the division theyre in

Freakydave-- im so split on this game i dont know what to take.. BUT if your going to hate on the skins division.. The seahawks division IS better but not by much AT ALL. Also Seattle is not great on the road.. only teams that they beat on road by more than 4 was Buffalo (who is god awful) and chicago, who it to seattle to overtime to beat them with a touch down... they are terrible against the spread on the road. HOWEVER im probably on the seahawks for the game, but dont forget all of washingtons losses were by 1 score.. except 1 loss to steelers.. dont expect seattle to steam roll

I am going to explain this in point form for the sake of brevity
1)Seattle has the better secondary
2)because of the better Secondary they will stop the run
3)Wash struggles when having to rely on the pass
4)seattle's road struggles were in the first half of the season(2 road wins in dec)
5)Seattle played more playoff bound teams( read tougher schedule)than wash & have a better record that's why they are favored
6)I am not saying washington can't win I am saying imo Seattle covers.

oh and easier schedule really??? Id much rather play the AFC East (seattle) than the AFC North (Washington)... thats just an idiotic statement.. and dont talk about seattle playing 49ers rams and cardinals is so much harder than playing eagles dallas and giants..

Here again the seahawks played 5 games(3 division winners no 4th seed) vs teams that are in the playoffs & washington played 4(2 division winners & 1 of those was the afc 4th seed).There is no doubt who played the tougher schedule.

this is a tough gm, i think sea road issues are a bit overblown, obviously when you are unbeatable at home your road numbers are not gonna be as good but i dont think that means they are "bad" on the road, even in their road losses they played solid for the most part, they won in carolina a team skins couldnt beat at home... i keep looking back at that panther gm for both teams as panthers prob run that zone read shit more than anyone besides these 2, sea totally shut down the panthers run gm while they had some success against the skins, certainly not the be all end all as both played them a long ways back but still a common opponent that runs some zone read that one team beat and the other lost to (granted that was skins last loss)...

some other things i think are worth pointing out is sea has been freaking great on 3rd downs this last month converting almost 60% and are in the top half of the league on the yr while the skins d is dead last at getting off the field on 3rd down.. sea d has been middle of the road on 3rd down but again been great the last month, while skins offense has dramatically improved in this area they still finished the season 24th in the league at converting on 3rd..red zone both teams have been top 10 all yr on offense and both been scoring at a insane clip when inside the 20 the last month, but defensively again sea is one of the best in the league at limiting teams when they get in scoring range while the skins are again in the bottom 3rd of the league..yards per point (a stat i respect prob more than others) both are top 10 offensively and again both have been fantastic over the last month or so but again a stat defensively sea is tops in the league and skins are middle of the pack..

pretty common theme in this gm when i look at numbers is offensively they are very close and defensively sea is head and shoulders the superior team especially in the secondary...i do think skins will have some success rushing the ball as sea does give up a pretty high ypc, i actually think both will have some success running but i think skins will settle more often in the red zone and while i like what hasslet has done with that d they are forced to take chances and i think sea will hit them for some big plays while i think that be much tougher for skins to accomplish vs those corners...i like sea to win this something like 24-20 as this will be the best defense skins have seen in some time (possibly all yr)...under is prob worth a look but id prefer 47....

I'll send you a poster of RG3 for your studio apartment after they win. Then you'll be able to look at him from your kitchen, bedroom and living room .... #postingyourrent #fail

LOL I'm not sure if oddtodd is full of sh*t. But $1,300 a month rent is nothing to sneeze at. You can live like a king in Detroit. I rent a floor out in Brooklyn for 1,550 a month. I suppose you live in a penthouse.

NFC East is the toughest division in football...

Lol no doubt who played the tougher schedule... That extra game handed to them via replacement refs has you throwing money in the hands of the bookees! Lmao! I might follow you so I can start fading your picks. Terrible...

I live in Toronto, 1300 doesnt go too far. But good job all! I like the look of next weeks action as well, should have another winner.
